Hey there, I'm new to this hobby. Bought a used Savage X SS with a few upgrades, but the truck was never really cared for: busted front dif pinion gear, missing spring mounts on shocks, shocks low on oil, rear drive dogbone has a broken end, owb is bout gone. I get maybe 1 rotation per pull for a while before it actually cranks the motor. It does have upgrades like all the plastic in the drivetrain is now metal, metal pitman arm on steering servo. the body is all hacked up too, but you get the idea of the last owner. they upgraded it, but i guess they couldn't maintain it.
Anyway, I can get it running, had it hitting 2nd gear before the tires saw-bladed, it's stupid fast compared to the new-bright toys I had when I was a kid. The only problem I have is a full tank lasts about 10-15 minutes for me. Is this normal? I know I need to learn more about tuning, but I would like to know about how long you guys get out of a full tank on a 4.6?
