Alot of people are at work. Congrats on the new savage! I hope you dont think that quart will last very long. I can go through a gallon in less than a week with my stock savage. That quart will only be enough to break the motor in.

Good choice of truck!

You will have a blast upgrading and playing with your new toy! Im about to take mine out for the season within 2 weeks or so. Twisted Evil

I'm just messin with you guys Very Happy

I figured the quart will go pretty quickly, I'll have to order more right before I'm ready to break it in. That way when I'm ready to start having some real fun I'll have a gallon waiting for me.

I don't think I've been this happy since I got my first car (87 Buick Grand National) Twisted Evil

Yeah, a quart will only just get you through break-in of the engine. Also, a 250cc fuel bottle is a bit on the small side. The fuel tank is 160cc, so you wont even get two refills from that.

Do you have a way to measure engine temperature?

Good luck with your Savage. It'll give you many funfilled hours Smile

I run about 15-20 minutes on a tank of fuel when playing, but a little less if I gun the throttle.

This hobby isn't cheap, but I think it's worth it. Just be prepared to break the bank sometimes and maybe put aside some cash for upgrades. I made some calculations of the cost before getting my Savage three months ago and have spent twice as much as I originally expected. And I haven't even spent a gallon of fuel yet (there's about two tanks worth left) Smile

The starting equipment is expensive, but hopefully it should be a cheaper hobby later on.

So everything came in the mail today! Hopefully this weekend I can start the build. During the week I'm to go through all of the instructions so I can get set. Any last minute tips for the build besides using threadlock on metal to metal and to take my time? Laughing
