Hello, I bought a new HPI Savage x 4.6 a week ago and after 4 tanks of fuel I tried to start it and found that the turning the input for the nitro start would not turn the crank. I took it apart and found that the starting pin spring was broken. Anyone have this trouble before? Whats the cause?
I have to say getting this thing started the first time was a pain. It took forever and I finally had to hook my cordless drill to starting shaft to get it to turn faster and it finally started.
I have called HPI and couldn't get thru and I have emailed them and haven't received a reply yet. I realize that I probably shouldn't have taken the back plate off of the engine without the go ahead from hpi, but whats done is done. To be honest after buying a HPI crawler king, and now this savage and being disappointing with both of them, I am probably done with hpi.
I have always been a traxxas guy, but hpi seems to take crashes better, but that being said I have never had a traxxas fail me by the fourth tank of fuel. I am kinda wishing I would have bought a Tmaxx.....
I should add it has an F4.6 engine.
