Update on Savage 4.6.Engine came back from hpi with new starter spring and pin,it runs great.I recommend a better servo after 5 tanks the stock one went out ,stripped gears.You can get a up grade for the stock one $30 but the turning speed will not be good enough.I bought a Ace ds1313 and its night and day compaired to stock.I upgraded the transmission to a three speed but it was really overkill, unless you have alot of room to get up to speed.You can play with the number of teeth on the clutch bell gear or spur gear and get probilly the same speed out of the truck.I changed my spur gear to a steel gear from robinson and heavyduty clutch bell it usually comes as a pair.I changed out the shock oil for 20 grade shock oil and filled 3/4 of the way up in each shock it seemed to have helped the truck not be as jumpy from loading up after compression.The truck is alot stabler but im going to mess with it some more by adding less oil or more of different grades.You will probilly need a wheelie bar as well depending on ground condition and how well tuned your engine is this truck will do alot of wheelies.I have been doing this for 28 years and this is the best rc toy I have owned yet but be prepared to spend a couple of hundred more to get the bugs out and have a bullet proof truck.
