Hi, ok so far, its quite funny and tough, few problems at the beginning mostly for lack of experience anyways, if you decide to buy it, i'd suggest you change the whole clutch with a better 3 shoes one, change the air filter with a non waterproof as my was getting full of sand and dirt and to help not having trouble with starting it, as I got, i'd suggest a starter box, so no need to remove the pull cord to replace with a rotostart but its also an alternative, cheers

i've been reading around as it seems the same issue of the half tank lean for the Savage, lots of solutions which work for some people, at the end the issue seems to be that while the fuel is going down the air pressure inside the tank changes instead of staying the same, so solution would be to change tank, or change position of the pressure nipple in the tank (mine is on top of the tank and it would go on the bottom) other solution to make the fuel line from the tank to the carb shorter as possible, or I fought to buy couple of T connector so the pressure in the tanks will be the same for both coming through the pipe and the rule as well coming from the tanks, so first of I'll try to shortener the line between the tank and the carb, as soon as I get the T connector will try these, as don't like to fit another pressure nipple, my last try will be a new tank, I saw a traxxas one which is 105cl and it may fit or couple of Kyosho 125cl which are pre mounted on 3.0cc engine ( like the one I've got)

hi there, thanks for the reply, yes it is 7mm outside diameter and the crankshaft diameter is 5 I could not find any 5x7 but then I found a 5x8 ( arrived yesterday) which was super cheep so I bought 2 for test, and with a bit of effort I fit these into the clutch bell, and working good, not sure thought if I damaged the inside of the ball bearing but so far it is spinning thanks anyways

can you get some pics of your car and your pals?

that was my first guess, too much empty air, but then wouldn't we get the same issue on other bigger tanks? I mean, I have e Trophy Truggy with a 125cl, which means that when I run on a quarter of the tank I should get the same issue but it doesn't happen, I also have another car with a 150cl, same as the truggy no problem, th evolution given with etra fuel line between the carburetor and the tank, does not make much sense as for the video I saw they say that it helps since you have more fuel already in the line, but then with the fuel filter I still get more fuel in the line, so I'm blind, and yes, temperature goes higher as soon as the first tank gets empty, which for above tank situations (truggy etc) didn't make sense, I could setup the engine with the second tank so I don't get high temperature and make sure that it is not too lean but again, when on first tank the car runs slow on top speed, now I was thinking to buy a 125cl tank and adapt to see how ti goes but don't know which one

here mate

all sorted with engine and new clutch bell, plus I've installed a second stock tank, so 75cl+75cl=150cl, now I can run it for about 10 minutes before I run out of gas, thing is that on second tank it gets leaner, I checked on the web and the Savage with a 160cl seems to suffer of the sam problem, solution I found for the savage is to make a hop on the line tube that goes to the carburetor, i did try id and still same issue, although I have an hip fuel filter running between the carburetor and the second tank, so I assume, basically this already sort the tube extra loop. does anyone know or care to explain why this is happening? I still could not find a reasonable reason. thanks

hi there, I did what the video says and tested with different batteries, but still the charger would not discharge properly, so I gave up and bought a new charger, the Equilibrium EVO Touch, tested different batterie packs, hump pack included and this one gives me satisfaction so thanks again for your support

thanks a lot, i'll give it a try and let you know of the outcome

what I mean is ... while discharging I set it to 4.5V, when done I tested it and the tester was showing 6.12V, so I lowered the V up until I went to 0.10V discharging, and when the charger was done, end discharging, I checked with a tester and I got 5.85V, which is still high according to your data so no way do go lower is there a way to calibrate the voltage?

ok I'v discharged the pack, after many test I get the charger to show 0.10V then checked the pack on a tester to read it and it shows 5.85V what does it mean? is the charger not discharging correctly? i'll try to charge it back and see what I get

ok, il try to discharge and check the voltage, i'll let you know thanks for now

I've just finished a charge battery pack is 5 x 1000mha 1.2v - tot. 6v x 1000mha discharged at 0.9a per cell charged back at 0.3a, it took 2hr 20 minutes, and at the end it charged a total of 668mha and the finishing V is 7.51v checked with the tester it says 7.16v batteries are hot, but still can hold them and not burning so is it good? do I need to change the charger? it does not sounds good to me ((

thanks a lot i'll try and see what happen

thanks again for the reply, I start getting it when you say 0.3c is it 0.3 of the total capacity of the cell? like if it is a 900mha this means that I should charge at 0.3mh?

hi, thanks for the reply, yes, I do discharge them setting it 0.9 per per cell so it is normal then what would be the min mh charging rate to have the delta peck activated? if I keep charging at 0.1mha will I overcharge the batteries and damage them? thanks

Hi all, recently I've bought an X-Treme charger X6 which is the same as the IMax B6 and same software as Core RC UAC50 Charger and Overlander - RC6-VSP, thing is I cannot charge the batterie properly, not the plug igniter, not the HPI battery pack, neither battery pack I made myself for all the below example, I've tried different delta peak from default to 10 igniter which is NIMH 1800mh at 1.2v ... I set the charger with 1.2v battery type NIMH 1800mh, if start charging at 0.1A the display goes over 5000mha, if I charce at 0.2 or 0.4 it does stops at around 1300mha ( at 0.4 and above the battery get hot at around 900mha ) HPI battery pack: 5 cells, 6v, 1600mh ... charger settings 6v per 16000mha, as above charged at 0.1 riches 5000 , at 02 or more does not even reach 1500mh own made battery pack: 5 cells, AAA batteries 1,2 each = 6V, 900mh ... charger set as 6V, charging at 0.1 right now is at 1300 and still going ( battery just warm ), if I set 0.2 or more, battery pack stop charging at aroung 600mh as I said I'v tested different deltapeack so not sure if it is the charger or what so what charger do you use, recommend? even not digital, as long as it does the job properly thanks

Hi all, just bought a smaller clutch bell for my Bullet mt but it came without ball bearings and the one I have from the 13T don't fit, I wrote to the HPI Support but no reply, does anyone knows which one may fit? I've checked and the ball bearing external diameter should be 7mm while the crankshaft il 5mm. thanks

if with a 14t takes longer to get top speed then I'll try a 12t at least I get more acceleration well thanks you very much for the big support

hi, got a brand new engine, the G3.0 standard part just to avoid possible incompatibilities, so I went original fitted in with a rotostart (best buy ever) turned on and breaking it everything went well, engine running "almost" fine, I guess I need to finish the settings 2 things tho, I'm pretty sure the HSN is fine as I get quite good max speed and temperature is not so high, only thing, I don't get full speed quick enough, I mean, when I'm at full throttle is like it switch to a second gear before reaching full throttle, and I can understand why, is it better if I install a bigger clutch lilt 14T? second thing, I mite got what caused the issue in the previous engine, the Exhaust Gaskets, basically after removing the pipe, the gasket was all around the pipe exhaust hole, when I got the brand new, they had an extra part going through the middle, so I guess it broke down and went in, so to avoid it, before putting the new one, I just cut off that middle section.

Thanks again for getting back, well, once I had a glow plug running for like 2 minutes, then the car quit and when removed the plug, the curly wire was not flu leinth so I believe it must have damaged the engine sure i'll tear it a part to lear, it would be a good practice as for the engine, what i'll by is this one: http://www.modelsport.co.uk/force-.18-car-abc-side-ex.-pull-start-engine-sg-shaft-e1802/rc-car-products/370464 which is exactly the same G3.0 that come with the Bullet but not HPI branded and it will cost like 25 quid less

that what I thought but needed confirmation lol I think I'll keep it so other than piston and sleeve I'll have all spares Thanks a lot for you support and help

Here the pictures

Hi, no, i did not tear it apart just removed the cylinder head and the exhaust pipe, when I cleaned it I just put the vaseline oil and white Spirit through the carburetor hole and pulled the pullstart cord many times the the exhaust it self s clean, there was some unburned fuel which I removed, the gasket is not there actually, can this be the problem? I mean is it possible that this cause the engine not to start? I'll try to get some pics tonight
