Lol ya i have the manual for the savage, at least it came with that. I Adjusted to the directions it came with i forget which one it says to adjust first. I dont know pain in the butt sometimes! I can get it to run but i read big blocks are harder to tune. I think i read some where mine is a big block, well in the Nitro RC world it is. ---

Lol we’ll have a Nitro R/C Race day! I also need to install my spur gear it got messed up even though i lock tight’d my hex bolts for the engine mount,Also did the paper trick to set the mesh…this is why i want to get the screw set so i can go over everything clean it, and shit. I just dont have the lighting and room to take it all apart. Maybe ill rebuild the engine it should be big enough, but I can go to fields and get a brand new one for $150 for my engine core. ---

Here’s some pictures of what my truck will look like, I accidently forgot to mask the windows because my landlord was talking to me, but i only had a few coats of the candy red on, then i masked it and put a few more coats on and then silver. This was all done last night in the dark at around 40 degrees. My first body i painted looks good enough considering it will be abused! I can get some paint thinner and try to fix the windows at another time. 🙂 ![http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m81/pitbull14218/Savage%2025/IMG_0347.jpg](http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m81/pitbull14218/Savage%2025/IMG_0347.jpg) ![http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m81/pitbull14218/Savage%2025/IMG_0346.jpg](http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m81/pitbull14218/Savage%2025/IMG_0346.jpg) ![http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m81/pitbull14218/Savage%2025/IMG_0344.jpg](http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m81/pitbull14218/Savage%2025/IMG_0344.jpg) ![http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m81/pitbull14218/Savage%2025/IMG_0343.jpg](http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m81/pitbull14218/Savage%2025/IMG_0343.jpg) ![http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m81/pitbull14218/Savage%2025/IMG_0345.jpg](http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m81/pitbull14218/Savage%2025/IMG_0345.jpg) ![http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m81/pitbull14218/Savage%2025/IMG_0342.jpg](http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m81/pitbull14218/Savage%2025/IMG_0342.jpg) ---
