this sounds really simple but did you charge your rx battery? If you are running AAs go out and buy a hump pack right now

I have a hump pack just need an adapter or charger for it..so that might be the reason the steering servo wasnt working properly...If that doesnt help I might have to look into buying a new servo. But hopefully the hump pack fixes that problem.

When I get sum more fuel Ill tweak the tuning to see if that helps with the shifting. My friend that owns a hobby shop told me that when I put the new pipe and header on it can cause the trans not to shift right and Id have to redo the tuning. So hopefully that helps out.

Thanks for all the help guys....any more info please send it my way lol

if you have never charegd your rx battery then yes, that is the issue most definitely.

are you referring to the venturi? Or the boot that goes over the slide?

Ask and you shall receive. All of HPI's big blocks used the same boot and I think even the same carbs.

Check page 45 of the manual http://www.hpiracing.com/manuals/pdf/105644.pdf

Here's the entire carb kit for K engines - 4.6 and 5.9.
Same price but you get more stuff.
