HPI Savage X 4.6 ftw! that has been my most reliable truck to date, bought it new and have only had to replace very minor stuff. upgrade to robinson racing hardened steel spur gear and clutch bell, get a hitec 7955 tg steering servo and a good 2.4ghz radio, and some better tires and wheels(i run proline dishes and proline bowtie tires on mine). oh and get a extra body, you'll need it, the stock one shreds pretty quick. and DO NOT run traxxas fuel, it sucks, makes the truck hard to tune. i've had awesome luck with byron's fuel(25%). i've had over 40 rc cars and trucks in the last 2 years, i've tried a little bit of everything, and savages are the best.

i had the savage x 4.1 and it had more power then you will ever need and was super fast with the 2 speed transmition. BUT i would stay away from the steel clutch and spur gears since those are made to be the weak between the engine and the trans. and they last long and work good as long as you set the mesh properly. my brother had mine wide open and hit a cement light pole and drove it away!

either get lowering shackles like suggested.. or spring over axel if it isent already...
-
where is the thread about the effects of bass vs. highs do to yourears... i searched but couldent find it...
-
this was on a 350 chevy so...
but yeah if you did just the cap... go back and get a cap and rotor set, and make sure everythign is clean when you install it
-
if there was somethign wrong with it you would have a light of some kind come on.. but i belive its becasue its winter and they change the mix of fuels and usually you get 10% less fuel milage in the winter...

seems pretty good to me. my buddy had a miss fire on his blazer and it turned out to just be dirty injectors.
but i agree with the GM's not likign the fancy spark plugs.. we put in nice patlynum plugs with our new engine and it had a miss fire and we talked to some one and he said oh just run the AC delco plugs.. so we switched and it run much better!
this is why i like carbed engines!! no injectors ro have to worry about.. you get spark and fuel and compression and shell fire up! no computer systems you have to rely on to run the engine
-
read up on how small you can go before you need to retune and other shit..( exhaust, injectors, intake, and so on).. becasue if you just throw on a smaller pulley your going to run a bit lean and thats not a good thing!
-
run your hand along it, see if its burnt or pinched anywhere when we did ours that was the reason for having to replace it.. the wire was stretched and it finally fell our of the sensor itself.
-
a header wont give a car a "riced out sound " to it. its all in the muffler. and its a 4 cylinder everything other then stock will sound ricey but a long tube header ( like the one pictured ) will make it sound MUCh better!
-
is the wire thats attached to it still good?
-
lol i only heard 9. im not sure if you got my pm or not but im from windsor. latly alot of poeple from ontario have been slowly poping up ive seen!
-
i think i may watch that again to count how many times you say its fucking cold!
edit: i counted 9 times!!
anyways.. so how come its purt up and sub up or do you put shit in your trunk? i think it would sound beter sub back and port back since nothign is ported into the cabin of the car?
-
cheak your fuel pressure make sure its up to spec. it could also have a frozen spot some where in the line
-

could have have possibly pinched or cracked a line ?
i know me and my bro went threw a shit tone of work on our clutch.. got good at pullin the tranny! from the car beign driveable to up on the house with the trans on the ground in under an hour!first tiem we got the wrong clutch.. thoguth since its a preformance one the salve wasent troung enough.. get a new salve get it bled and put together same issue... come to realize we have the wrong clutch.. so get the new cluthc in works MUCh better but still sient right.. so we thing either air in the system or a bas master.. ohh and its a 1994 chevy cavalier.. and chevy wasent bright when they se it up since there are no bleeder screws anywhere on this!
-
old topic much....
its a bad 02 sensor, my truck had the same thing light would come one after its up to running temp, changed it and hasent came on since
-
usually getting an after martket header/headers is cheaper and more reasonable then going back to the factory manifolds..
and yrou engine mounts.. iif they were broke you would know almost instant ly, you can usually tell by looking.. have a buddy get in the car and set the e-brake and put it in gear and either let off the gas or slowly let out the clutch and watch your enigne
-
by a cheap beater car to get you threw the winter then look for something nice
since you have a monte im assuming your a chevy guy.. stay that way!!! parts are much cheaper for chevys then most other manufacturers
-
well im not sure where yoru at. but if you have cold winters.. find a heated shop and tear out your engine. just remember where all the wires go. if you cant do that mark them so you will remember.. then tear down the engine.. then you will find out yourself if it is worth fixing or if its not.
me and my bro tackeld a cluthc in our car only goin by what we have read.. and it was pretty simple but ran into a few issues ( parts store gave sus the wrong clutch ) and we fucked with it for a week... got gettin that tranny out and cluthc apart down to a science.. from sitting in the car to driving it to having it in the air and trans. off and clutch off to about 45 min! haha
-
i doubt the crank snapped. did it make any strange noises when it happend?
its real hard to snap a crank. especially on a bone stock engine
-
nope nothing between them... when the system is goin and you touch the amps you cant really feel much at all
-
what kind of car is it?
and were you givin'er when it broke?
-
how about somthing this color?
but id like to see it on the first pic you have already used.. i tried but i failed!
-

6" lift or 24" rims

well im assuming your truck is IFS so a good 6" lift will cost you a fair amount of money. and not to mention you will be going htrew ball joints, tierod ends, and wheel bearings much faster.. and once you run the 35" tire you will want to do some re gearing so you dont cook you tranny!
