The stock Savage radio gear is pretty much useless in my opinion. Go with something like a Futaba 3PL for a much better radio system.

Depending on your budget you can get a new receiver off of Ebay or get a brand new receiver/transmitter from Ebay as well. You could also send the receiver into HPI for a repair. Chances are the wire got damaged and that's why you have a loss in reception. I run the stock HPI radio gear in my Savage XL and my HPI Baja with no issues with plenty of run time on both. You need to lean out the mixture and tune the engine to stop the engine from stalling. Here's a sticky on how to do that:
