    Here is my Savage X SS, need to sell it due to going to uni and not having any time for it any more. Have looked after it a lot and has got quite a lot of extras with it. Have spend time and money keeping it running, got the car in Christmas 2007. Used all the guides on here to run in in correctly and build so it has been done properly. Have serviced it, all diffs have been taken apart and lubricated inside aswell as the gear box.

    Here's Whats Included:

    Hi, just a quick one really i have a Savage and the problem is I have just got a second hand Hong Nor Big bore pipe but the problem being is that the manifold part for the pipe is too big !! Now the pipe using a spring system to hold it onto the manifold instead of a coupler, so i was wondering if anyone knows where to get one that will fit in my savage !! Its really annoying but i cannot find anywhere, hope somebody can help.

    Here's a pic of what i mean by manifold: d663fbaa6129fd43e5444524c7fcf8f7.jpg

    This is the one i have with the pipe which is too big....

    Right well i have had my engine in bits today, just having a look make sure it was ok. And i was checking the owb, and it seems to turn the engine when it is at the top of its stroke, in both directions. And I think this is why my engine buggered up the other pullstart, and why my drill won't start it (i got a second of life today, it actually produced smoke !!, but then the usual noise came from he drill and it stopped :( )

    well just went out again, and i held the back of the car up (this helped for some reason) and tried starting it and it fired up but as soon as it did the drill made the noise it makes when the tension gets too hard and the engine would just start turning over again.

    Is this becuase it gets hard before the engine starts ? or becuase the owb is sticking and trying to force the drill the other way round ??

    Also there is alot of fuel coming out of the exhaust ??

    i know am spinning in the right direction cos it just slips in the other direction. I probably will end up getting one, it'll just be after christmas. I'm trying to save for a car aswell so am trying not to spend much money lol. Just annoying cos i really wanna go out with (nitro) car, i miss the fun of it :(

    have u tired loosening the glow plug by 1/8th of a turn, this will mean there is a bit less compression meaning it is not as hard to turn over and it will get a bit more air in so it will stop it being too rich. I had to do this for the first 3/4 runs with my savage because there was that much compression. once started quickly tighten it up and it will hopefully carry on running and ure sorted.

    Hope this helps, also try the hairdryer on it before u start it aswell as doing the above :D

    i know but roto starts too much money !! you have to get a stick pack, charger and roto start.

    And pullstarts break too often !

    Also when i tried to start before video, it sort of went but the drill started making a noise like it was too hard but then it stopped and the engine stopped. Does that mean the owb was stuck and it was trying to spin the drill the opposite way ?? I just don't really fancy taking engine out and having to mesh it again, its cold outside !!

    kk cheers, thats more what i was thinking a cheap one that would spin fast. Think i'll have to wait to buy one though !

    Am just glad the engine is not broke, becuase i thought taking it on the beach may have ruined it ! Thanks for all the help guys :D

    yeah i was looking at the faster drills, mine only spins at 700rpm. Some of the dewalt drills spin at 1,400rpm which would probably be fast enough ?

    I would rather buy a cheap, faster drill than buy a roto start becuase you have to buy a stick pack and a charger aswell as the roto start.

    The throttle was on full when i was trying to start it, but I've tried moving it to no success. The one way bearing was quiet rough on the surface so maybe if i oil it up it might help ?? I have used this drill to start it before but it was on the owb and not in the roto start so there was no gearing involved.

    Just trying to start my savage, and you can hear the engine trying to start but i don't know whether its becuase its too rich or becuase my drill is too slow at turning it over. Heres a video so you get what it sounds like:

    hope someone can help, i had to change the needle settings becuase there was fuel pouring out the exhaust when i was trying to start it, so it must have been too rich.

    Just so you know, the glow plug is fine and the engine has been run before but it was about 3-4 months ago....

    Thanks

    I have just bought a second hand one of these, and i will be using it with my HPI k4.6 just wondering if anyone has used these pipes before ?? And if they are any good. My original hpi is a bit dinted now so i thought it would be time for a replacement, hopefully this new one will give me a bit more performance aswell :D

    Roto Start Shaft ?

    Could i use a hpi roto start shaft with a drill ?? (I am a cheap skate and dont wanna buy a rotostart aswell). I mean it looks like it would fit but i am just double checking before i go ahead a buy one.

    Hope somebody can help :D
