Colt Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I have been looking at the new Savage 3.5 and when i get enough money i might get one. What good and bad thigns are there about the Savage 3.5 and when you do jumps do they break easy. Are they easy to set up and run. Cheers Colt.

dazzi220 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 they're tough as hell and the 3.5 does'nt have a lsn so tuning will be well sweet!, looks sweet and loads of hopups, truck heads will point out bad points but imo they're the best trucks on the market, and the price is not bad either. the only bad point is if ya buy it from modelsport they give you a 'free' £20 voucher and the price of the truck is £320,but £300 everywhere else, so the its not free....go figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
300ZXZ31 Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Yeh as far as i know there the best al round trucks out there although the revo would beat it round a track imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rc007 Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 If your looking for a good durable truck for bashing with this is the one to get, it won't eat drive trains like the bigger engines can do. If you planning to use this on the track though you may consider something else, as the savage takes a lot of money to become a competative racer.

Screamer17 Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 What the hell are you on about there not being a LSN!!!!!!!!!!! you lot dumbasses or something??????? they're tough as hell and the 3.5 does'nt have a lsn so tuning will be well sweet! http://www.hpieurope.com/kits/wv3main.php?lang=en&partNo=882 When they say two needle they mean the HSN and the LSN!!!!!!!

madmanluke Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 they're tough as hell and the 3.5 does'nt have a lsn so tuning will be well sweet!, unfortunatly your wrong,all hpi's engines and cars come with high and low end needles, can be clearly seen here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momin Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 That pull starter cord looks soo weak. Like the SH.28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 doesnt need to be that strong, engine doesnt have masses amount of compression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momin Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 am on about the cord! It is real weak! Try pulling the one as thin as that...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 not hard mate.... the cord doesnt have to be huge if there isnt much pressure beeing put on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momin Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 (edited) try compar that to Waz's Sh pull starter....hes snapped it already...... its bloody tiny! Edited May 8, 2005 by momin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 but with an engine that size. it doesnt need a thick starter cord, as it wont snap because there isnt hardly as much compression in a 21 size engine than a 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This redesigned engine, with two needles instead of three, makes it much easier for beginners to set up and tune. The new composite material makes the engine run smoother at all temperatures. "INSTEAD OF 3", If you go on screamers theory that means savages have 4 needles you have a cheek to call us dumbass's Edited May 8, 2005 by dazzi220 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screamer17 Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 When was there ever three needles??????? theres the HSN LSN and Idle Screw (which isnt a needle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock cord did'nt last 2 mins and I eventually got a metal type wire fitted which snapped the other week. I'll be glad wen this engine dies cos its wreckin my arm!

madmanluke Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 ifu also read it dizzie, it says 2 needles....meaning it has a low and high speed needle.... the run in mixtures would be to lean for it, and may not even be right for the car, weather etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 the only needle thay have thaken out is the mid range needle. They are only saying that its esier for nooies to tune as it has one less needle, the mid range needle should never rely be touched any way.
