slow-mtx(but fast savage), ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, im so glad when i read that its ok now.
as always.. as me & art_I said, 95% its the glow igniter. thats why, when im serious in racing(sometimes not ), i always give my pitman 2 or 3 glow igniters to try.
yes as ryan said, little after-run oil & no no no pipe style stopping. i just use my shoe at the flywheel. best for me.

On the Savage and other MT's where there is no flywheel access, you just have to block the exhaust. The engine should be fine to start next time - primed and ready to start, so long as you have good glo and your mixtures aren't overly rich. Should the engine become loaded up and flooded (for whatever reason), it's just a case of removing the glo plug, turn the engine over a few times to clear the cylinder, replace the plug - and you're good to go again.

cant wait to see yer LCG.
That's what I do for my 1/8th buggy - so that would apply to Truggies too.

but either way i never had problems shutting from the pipe.

Tabushi... i have both 21B & D28M.
for yer TNX, i advice get the 21B pullstart. The 28M is too strong for yer TNX. the torque is super crazy... imagine savage backflip!
my truggy is powered by the 28M... and its overpowered. im thinking of using my 21B (Turbo plug, non pullstart) to replace it. the 21B got enough power & rpm to propel the truggy.

from the image of racernine website & as the engine manual too ... the pullstart is available. same as the d28m.
i specifically asked for non one.
u lucky, u started with the Team engine. i cant imagine driving the team engine. even at 21B, i already smiling ear to ear. the torque is there... my X1CR(FTE hybrid) almost wheelie on trigger. cool engine.

to make the B motor a pullstart you would have to install a .28 crank shaft
backplate, and oneway, along with a pullstart.
you could do the same to your team motor and run it on your tnx

i did my engine run-in like this. Josh Cyrul style.
WOT style!
The piston/sleeve still tight and even push the sleeve up after 12 tanks. compression unbelievable.
but remember, 1st tank do the heat-cycle style.. as per dino/manual mentioned.
thanks to Art_I for the info.
