come to one of the races, you will surely be able to find someone who knows what to do. Where do you live?

I have a Savage and just about have it back ready for the track. Now when you say it will not pull that is a broad description of the problem and could be many things. It could be anything from a bad clutch to a bad diff or even a poorly tuned engine. When you give it throttle does it move at all?

Ok I did a little more investigation on the prolem and I tightened the plastic gear that you can see on the outside of the truck down with that nut and it fixed my problem, but it keeps slipping after like 7 seconds of running. Its like the orange mesh on the inside of the black gear isnt tight enough or somenthing.

The big gear on the trans is a spur gear and behind it you have a slipper clutch. If you tried running much with it slipping good chance you burned it up. I recommend you take the spur gear off and check it out. I run my slipper tighten up all the way till the spring is just coil bound. Sorry but it is hard to diagnose the problem with out seeing the truck. If I had the truck in front of me I probably could figure it out in about five minutes. Wish you live closer as I would be happy to take a look at it for you. If you do not have a manual you can go to HPI web site and down load it for free.
One other thing setting the gear mesh on a 12 pound Savage is critical!
