RE: half tank issues on my xl
take a piece of antenna tube and cut to just about the depth of the fuel tank. insert to the fill cap vent hole for exhaust pressure line. takes the exhaust pressure and bubble through the fuel in the tank to pressurize the fuel. this pic used a piece of tube and fuel line.same idea. suppose to work but never did this mod myself either.

RE: Savage spur gear
i see a steel spur. are you running a hardened/vented cb. from the pic's it looks like a cb meant for a plastic spur.

RE: half tank issues on my xl
plenty of tank mods on this site and others. or just run half tank and re-tune. i've done this for all 5 trucks and they're rich at the full tank but still run well. with temps ranging from 260 to 300. some engines seem to like the 300 mark and still have good smoke.

RE: What did you do to your Savage today?
after sitting for a year it was time to get them out again. only 1 trucks of the 5 came back minimal damage. leaking shock cap. the others ranged from a pull cord to a shredded 3spd with the high speed 3rd gear and front diff/pinion(picco p3 .28).[&o] [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y200/osborste/misc/5trucks004.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y200/osborste/my%20xl%20savage/3spdbusted.jpg[/IMG]

RE: Wheel wobble?
the foam may have also come unglued inside the tire and is bunching up giving you a high spot and a soft spot on the wheel/tire.
