Does replacing the fuel tank mountings with pieces of fuel line solve the wobbly fixing?savages come pretty tough right out of the box. stay away from metal a-arms
buy an XL reciever/battery box off e-bay. it will have 3 way switch, so you can use a rechargeable battery pack and you dont need to remove cover to recharge them.
a set of steering bell bearings,
cut the tabs off the steering knuckles...sharper turning radius,
stiffer oil in the shocks...stock is 15w i believe,
take the fueltank off the posts, remove the o-rings and replace with small pieces of fuel line,
get a back-up throttle/brake servo as it will go bad fail fairly soon after you start running the truck (HPI will warranty the servo, but this way you wont have to wait for the replacement)
drive the truck for break-in, dont set it on a block n idle it

Don't worry.. Sussed it outAnyone have the fitting instructions for the aluminium pipe (Savage X 4.6)? I know it's a simple job, but I'm new to this
Is it worth replacing the throttle servo with the steering servo & then upgrade the steering servo to a better make? Is there a benefit to this (is the steering servo more powerful)?Savox has good ones for decent price. Or hitec are good. I like the hitec 985mg or the savox sc-0351mg. The throttle servo should be fine
If I upgrade the servos, should I get aluminium servo horns too?Savox has good ones for decent price. Or hitec are good. I like the hitec 985mg or the savox sc-0351mg. The throttle servo should be fine

Can I use digital servos in my stock Savage X 4.6 without any conversions? I thought all 2.4ghz systems were digital, but it looks as though the stock SF-20W servo is analog?!Savox has good ones for decent price. Or hitec are good.
