I used to run Mini m03 and I set it up w/Castle 7700, 2 cell 4000, GRP foams, TRF shocks, 50 wt., bearings, different springs ft/rear and the thing was a rocket ship! 45-50 mph easy.

There are many, Savox, AceRC, Futaba, JR. Buy the best servo you can afford.
Buying a cheaper one first only wastes $$ because you will have to buy another.

Factors are usually:
  • Motor quality
  • Metal Gears
  • Bearings
  • Torque
  • Speed
  • Weight

Be sure to buy a servo horn to match and ensure the connector is wired the correct way.

Hey Guys, I have been having some issues with my HPI Savage 4.6.

1 - No Fuel Pump Response. The server works perfectly fine, but when I throttle the linkage can not pull the fuel pump back to allow fuel in. I was wondering if you guys know any quick fix? The throttle linkage works fine.

2 - No Braking. When I start my car, it automatically starts to run without no throttle. When I try to brake the car shuts down.
