Savage X- Seized Piston ([FiXeD])

[@Schiksie]

Got a second hand HPI Trophy 3.5 that had not been running for years. Piston was stuck but with some oil and your "turn the flywheel" trick it came loose and it's running again :-)

[@-keyys-]

even ur servo was happy look at 6:45! he'll yeah good save

[@jangisgand6140]

Adam Keyser yeah

[@lonoqa]

nice video, had the exact same prob. engine seized from lack of use for about 5 years. after taking apart and cleaning with fuel, the action on the piston is smooth. thanks again for the post man

[@BaranTheBad]

"the only problems I had with this engine was that it would never start. Other than that it was a good engine" lol ;)

[@christopherbaker2132]

Thanks so much I took mine out of storage an had same problem this process worked a treat

[@livingstonrc4706]

My traxxas 3.3 in my slash did that so all I did was put a little lube in the glow plug hole and pulled really hard (and yes I bought a pull start) and it fired back to life

[@2vgod460]

That's why you should always do after run procedure

[@TekshaCM]

Anyone else notice his piston is black? Running a bit lean are we?

[@ERock2]

Thanks for the info, same thing happened to mine now it runs!

[@wildcardjoker]

Got losi ten t same thing I wd40 on it and channel lock got it free but tight at top stroke put back in truggy but with the ez start it hangs up just clicks when reaches top of piston may try to install pull start

[@burtonkidd]

@TekshaCM I got the truck used, it had 2 gallons on it already, after i fixed this problem i put another 2 gallons on it then it completely died. I know have a ERCM modded K4.6 HO with 2 gallons.

[@donovanspencer988]

I had the same problem u had all I did at the end was let it run a hole galleon and than took the engine off for the second time to check it and it lessened the sleeve

[@burtonkidd]

yeah i know it was seized !! I took it out in the snow and the next day it was seized .. so i opened the engine up put in some WD40 and cranked the fly wheel :)

[@savage45553]

hey thanks so much after whatching this vid i did it to my motor and it was free and ran great thanks so much big help thumbs up

[@MrRunnerdog]

Great clip..have a new 32 cc with 5 minutes idling, doing same thing. Thx

[@burtonkidd]

yeah i have that now, this is when i first got my savage. Iv had the F4.1 , k4.6 and now the K4.6 HO !!

[@tylerbrown5161]

The piston is supposed to be tight towards the top of its stroke to get compression

[@eagledronestan952]

what size wheels are you use on your savage x I like that size and where you got those ??

[@raymann4232]

The number 1 killer of nitro engines is running it too lean. I always run mine a lil more rich just for the simple fact running it richer will not harm you're engine

[@livingstonrc4706]

Brandon but it will break your glow plug

[@ProjectVengeance]

i will refresh what he said in normal language. WHEN YOUR ENGINE IS RUNNING, IT CREATES HEAT, MAKING THE SLEEVE AROUND THE PISTON EXPAND, WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF THE PISTON COULD STAY AT THE TOP OF ITS STROKE, AND WHEN THE SLEEVE COOLS, IT CONTRACTS, GRABBING YOUR PISTON AND COMPRESSION. also, i know you said the engine runs well, but i think she will go. lol. just sayin. aha.

[@mattinwinkymg]

next time dont dissasemble just get the heat gun out and give it a few tugs drop some caster oil in and make sure its not tdc after your next run

[@Rcfreak30]

dude to prevent it from happening use after run oil after every run.... It prevents it from gumming up like yours did.

[@Agent0range67]

maybe consider after run maintenance

[@MrBajaboy5b]

your piston is stuck at the top so you grave the fly wheel and try to turn it.

[@Khan-gy5lw]

Mix sum 4t or 2t oil in fuel and it may never Seize because engine needs sum lub wile it's working on n on

[@eunoscrew9271]

Its ment to be tight on top its called compression

[@candyman2911]

Actually that would be carbon build up, indicating a rich mixture. Which is harmless.

[@GurpreetSingh-eu7mr]

Loose it again and put prop in front of it perhapes it is overheating

[@dhilankerai3585]

After run oil next time 😂

[@Kasontiktok]

SAME THI G HAPPENED 2 DAYS AGO ON MY OS MAX RG IAM GOING TO TRY THIS

[@ProjectVengeance]

meh, whatever you want, you have bad luck if your engine stops at TDC lol

[@GurpreetSingh-eu7mr]

Expensive thing do not waste it

[@DatBlueHusky]

you sucked in water and it rusts so you should put wd40 in once you leave it for more than a week or so after each run

[@philray46]

WD40
