Alright,
So for my savage x 4.6, I've been doing the basics, like always cleanin after run oil, checking the shocks for the oil level, etc etc .. Now is there anything relse i need to do like for the differentials. I've never done anything to it, like do i needa lube them and clean them. Also for the clutch and stuff. I mean it runs like crazy good acceleration so i dont think i needa touch the clutch and shoes do i ?
Let me know what you guys do for maintenace
 
Every 2 gallons plan on replacing the diff out drive bearings. HPI made them too small and they do not hold up well. Also dirt finds it's way up inside the diff housings via the skid plates. I always seal mine with any kind of RTV.
Clutches usually only lasat 2-3 gallons, as do the CB bearings.
The transimission is tough as nails, they can go 10+ gallons without being touched.
Wheel bearings and diffoutdrive cups may need attention as well.
 
I've run about 6 gallons, never touched any of that!! hmm, so pretty much the diffs neeed to be cleaned and grased?
 
You must baby that thing! You are way overdue for a cleaning/greasing!
