Fantastic, thankyou. (And the link worked) :-D

Ahhhhhh yes I see that being an issue. Sorry guys. Let's try this: imgur.com/gVGE8R8

Hi guys I haven't been on here in a while and even really in the world of rc for the past 6 months. I got this as a project months ago but it still sits in its dreary way. Can anyone help as to what the model is please? I have tried putting the photo on here but it was too large and when i try using the link i get a white box with no image so here is the link: http://imgur.com/gVG

Will give this another attempt tommorow cheers.

So the other day I made a thread about a needle turned out to be the low speed needle and I had being adjusting the mid speed needle it have reset that back to factory (flush then in a half turn) and reset everything else to factory. Got her idling nicely but I jist can't seem to find the right settings full throttle causes either bogging or dying but if eased into it is ok. Now I have read different people say it lsn and others say hsn. Other thing I notice is when accelerating don't get the gear changes (using 3 speed transmission) I have tried to get a video best I could in the dark also as you can see the exhaust isn't standard (currently using twin exit fitted to rear of car) and could have some effect on the noise Savage xl:

You can get an app called I think it ulysee speed test on your phone and velcro the phone to chassis or use cable ties and do a cross so long ways then sideways holding the phone to the top plate

Yea but no matter what I do with lsn, idle, throttle trim I just can't get her started but it's obviously because I have ****** around with that other screw but is there not a setting for it like a factory setting or a way to set it? What is it called I don't mind looking into it. I can tune an engine but now I ****** around its making it near impossible

Great....... fantastic....... brilliant...... lol yea that's being turned in and out a few times lol thought it was as James said above the lsn so flushed it but then had a look around and found the lsn was the one in other side. so is there no factory on this and what is this called lol

Cheers for the reply bit I don't think that is the lsn. That is what a confused me tremendously. The lsn is on the other side just beneath the hsn needges and then to the side of thst is the idle screw. I will get a photo later of the other side if it helps. And if only was as straight forward as flush needle settings to revert to factory it doesn't seem to work. Sometimes when accelerating/braking the carb doesn't revert bask to the idle setting if thst mare sense

Can anyone help please. I want to know what this scree is and does on the savage xl carb. I can't seem to get the engine running properly have tried tweaking the idle screw but notice that sometimes it don't seem to do much and if you push against this bit (the purple springy lookikg bit) it moves the carb gap

Lol could do with some sort of padding around the edges to help breakages and take the impact. Don't schools still use the blue safety matts? Use them where possible.

Cheers Tamiyacowboy :-) your a very helpful guy! So using nitro fuel to clean with is a no and when you say soapy water do you mean using washing up liquid (fairy) or washing liquid (ariel/daz) may be bit of a dumb question just rather use the correct one lol. And I will have 2 to switch and swap but will take your advice aswell and order some new foam ready for next year. I understand the oil now so it is used to grab the fine particles then but don't smother it in oil or the carb won't be bake to breathe. Cheers again guys

You can order them via that link above pal. 53HRA might not have any left. If you don't get a reply you can go there and order them.

Cheers for the explanation. :-) I did find other threads hut some say use nitro to clean others say water others say a degreaser others say buy k&n air filter cleaner others say just change it so I wanted to know how people on here do it. I will have to have a look at the filter see if there's 2 or if it's just the one. :-) cheers guys

I know some will say buy a new filter but when I now own 2 filters (and one cardboard one that looks crud though looks like a wanna be k&n) I would rather spend the
