Best advice I can give is read the manual carefully, take special note of the instructions it gives for breaking in, and follow them carefully. While you wai for the car to arrive, read how many variations there are on the best way to break in and tune a nitro engine It'll help to pass the time!

Also, before you run the car, give it a good check over to make sure everything is bolted up tight, and where it should be. Check things like fuel pipes are not kinked orin the way of moving parts etc. It's also a good chance to get to grips with what is where under the bodyshell!

Also look at the wonderful extras just waiting to lighten your wallet If you haven't already, budget to replace the servo power supply with a rechargable hump-pack and buy a failsafe. These things are pretty much essential.

Tuning wise, there is a pretty neat flowchart stickied on the forum....it is fairly simple to follow and looks pretty easy to follow if you are new to all this. Carb setting is a bit of a confusing subject to begin with, but you will soon begin to realise what does what. Complete the break-in before you think about tuning.

Also, expect to have to set things like the idle so that the carb is open 1mm when the throttle is closed. This is not always set right out of the box. Same applies to the other carb settings. Make sure you know what the baseline settings are, and which screw does what on your buggy before tweaking. If you get lost in tweaking, you may need to return to the stock settings as a baseline. Make small changes when tuning and see what effect it has. Avoid making big changes to the carburation in one go, as you are aiming

The Savage is a pretty good piece of kit, and should perform well once setup and sorted.
