I remember reading about the air filter assembly on that thing being really funky. If it's not installed a very specific way, the thing either won't run, or won't run worth a crap, so be careful when taking things apart on it and make sure to put them back exactly how they came apart, since it appears to be one of the ones that actually runs!
I am just getting back into the hobby after about 25 years and I bought a Traxxas vxl rustler and it's been a lot of fun. The new technology is amazing compared to the rc 10 I had when I was a kid. Love the videos man I've learned a lot from you guys already so thanks for posting.
Man you're not kidding. Brushless, LiPo, and 2.4Ghz radio have CHANGED the GAME. I take this big ol' 9 pound Outcast truck out and get 12 or 15 minutes at full blast, and it goes like 50mph.
I was one of the unlucky few who actually purchased this 9 years ago. It came faulty from the factory & it's very hard/impossible to get it to work properly. I ended up converting it to electric. I still have all the octane parts sitting in a box
Awesome Kevin!!! It seemed to run rich in the beginning and lean at the end. Would be helpful to clean the carburettor, 2 stroke gas will gunk up after it hasn’t been used for a long time. New spark plug also helps to rule out a possible failure.
Yeah 99% of the time a small 2 stroke not running well is the carb. Might even need a tear down and have the jets cleaned out with carb cleaner and a Q tip. There's another youtuber, mustie1 who tears down ALL sorts of small engines and the majority of the time it's the carb. The jets get clogged up ALL the time. I mean, they are like .01" in dia so it's no wonder. Same as the needle valve in the float bowl.....1 teeny bit of crud and it'll flood all the time.
Kevin I look up to you a lot and wanna be just like you I admire u all the time I always watch your videos I wanna meet u badly. Thanks kev for what u have done
I love the way these trucks look. First time I saw it a long time ago I was blown away. I've never been a petrol or nitro guy always been team brushless but GOD DAMN this truck looks good
I had 3 of them and have videos on my channel. The problem I had was the trans calibration was installed as a nitro xl 5.9. It wouldn't work because the Gas engine didnt rev as high as the Nitro. The trans wouldnt shift and would run out of rpm very quick. Run the set screw out to loosen the preload and it started to rip! Getting the truck out of low gear about a 1/2 second after you pull the trigger is key. Use the torque. It is a great idea just a manufacturing glitch that could have been avoided.
You'll probably address this when you replace the servos but it looks like the brakes were dragging. Whenever you let off on the throttle it slowed or almost stopped. When you get the ignition sorted, a rule of thumb for tuning the carb is to start how you did, turn it all the way in, then back out like a turn. They have a really good section on tuning it after it's been broken in. Very concise. I tried to see in the parts breakdown what kind of ignition system it has. couldn't really see from the parts breakout. Seems like you're getting a good strong spark though.
That's great to see it working Kev, they were a problem in there day and a lot of videos of them not running. But what a rare truck, will be nice when fixed and in all it's glory.
I wondered if one of these would show up - loved the idea of it at the time. I do remember when they came out, many who posted videos had real problems getting a consistent tune - others no problem, as it should be with petrol. Al.
These things were notoriously bad when they were released, all the way to when they got discontinued. Ignition modules are known to fail, and it causes electrical interference with the receiver. Some guys were moving the receiver away from the engine and just running extensions, other people just dealt with it. Spectrum seemed to have the most interference, sanwa seemed alright.
The glitching servo is caused by the ignition modul. I have a savage octane, I moved the ignition module to under my rollbar cage and it stoped the glitching. The stalling is most likely not caused by the modual. It’s either bad carb settings or bad spark plug. The ignition modul either works or does not, there no in between.
It's funny when I watch your channel it makes me think about me growing up always wanted to try to get one . But what makes me happy is that I get to live the dream through your channel Thank you 🫶🏼 PS My birthday is on Monday January 30th I will be the same age as my mother when she passed many years ago
Love the little truck and poor matey stitched him right up but good Lough mind keep up Ur good work, can u do more vids with X maxx m2c fide what do u think of m2c so far kev!!
kevin if its a actual spark plug wire its old so could be rusty inside so take spark plug boot off and look if it is cut it back to where not rusty it could explain intermittent spark like on a actual dirtbike etc
I build skateparks here in Canada and we aren't allowed to exclude anyone. We have to call them wheeled sport parks. As an RC enthusiast, a skatepark builder and a skateboarder I can personally vouch that all anyone needs is common courtesy. That old bag is the one who needs banning.
People made mistakes setting shift points is key. The engine dont rev super high. Its technically a heli 4 stroke engine i heard. . But set 2nd gear shift first then 3rd.
Aup mi duck, kev bro…. I’d love to see you with a HPI VORZA S TRUGGY… it’s what I have now and I know its the “BEST RC EVER” with tweaks!!! 💯 when you get a opportunity get one!!! It would be good to see a video and what you think 🤔💯💎⭐️ Maybe one day on the future we could bash n race together! 😊
Hi im from germany… sorry for my Englisch 😅… the ignition is Not the Problem! Is normelly indestructible. The Savage octane Engine has ne thermo Problem, is overheating and stoppt ever. Cold or warm out Temperatur, 5-7 min. Hie is out and Tow times later works he normally .
Hello Kevin and all Watcher. I need a little help. Where i buy the cheapest HPI Rovan baja 1/5 for new in Europe or China? I see in american ebay 530$ but dont delivery in Europe... So... Thanks for the help.
Just grab a different carb for it. It will open it up. The carb is what caused 99% of the problems. And for the ignition module, airplane ignition modules work! Its basically a RC airplane motor put in a converted nitro car anyways.
Just took apart my first amateur RC ( litehawk overdrive 4x4 truck ) I rusted my on off switch took apart the ESC and removed the switch. Hopefully I can go to my local instead of ordering. Good luck me🤞
how could anyone forgive a "friend" such an absolutely Exaggerated "joke", where a couple 100$ damage and a lot of work to fix the damege happdns?!? I know that you are rich, but honestly, the when a friend of mine whould destroy something from me, that whouldnt be so easy to get out of the world.
You should be able to fix that body a little bit. Use a pice of plastic on the back side from a different body with some super glue. Won’t look like new but it will be one pice again
This car was new right before i was done working in a rc shop spesialised in hpi products. I am known in the rc comunity around me to love nitro and gas rc. I remember i had to get a customers car home to solve all its problems. And i can truly say these trucks where shit. They are extremely heavy,and overheated. Not to talk about clutches was to weak and melted. To slow and noisy compared to nitro ones. The factory settings for the needles was wrong in the manual,at least the first ones. The engine needed about 20 tanks or so to be broken in for some real performance. It was a good idea on paper,but sucked in real use. I wanted one for myself,but after all this hassle and all the known problems with it,i scrapped my plan to buy one. But it was very cool and impessive the first time i saw one. The body was wider on it i remember. We never brought more of these for sale.
Wow, your toys are really classy, I can't buy them, 🙏🙏 they are expensive, you can make them for my 1st child, those that don't have to be expensive are fine too 🤲🙏🙏👍
Looks awful rich Kev! Shmokey. I'd be rebuilding the carb next time you're in there, it's probably a bit ganky on the inside after sitting so many years.
@ 3:10 don't test spark plugs that close to their holes. The air fuel mixture gets blown out and ignited by the spark plug. I've set myself on fire like this before 🙃. Just personal experience lol
Ha ha what a great video. How many pulls to get it started? Max is such a good sport no doubt this practical jocking will escalate. Just check the monster truck wheel nuts before you drive it.
Hi I wonder if anyone could help I have got a old school kyosho racing nitro quad with the rider I think it’s a 1997 just wondering what it mite be worth looked on eBay and there is nothing on there if anyone could give me more information thanks
Honestly, that's really cool. Buuuutttt, I would hate to have to work on one. I fix chainsaws all day and it's a pain in the ass sometimes. 😒 I'll stick to nitro and electric
I have one aha the xl but nitro. 3 spd and reverse. Also a hard start. Literally broke my pull cord and it's in pieces after converting it to drill start
Quick hint: since a few nitro videos I've noticed that they don't seem to roll, when releasing the throttle. Either you are going throttle-brake real quick or you might adjust the trim/linkage. The clutch(es) will thank you. 🫡
Regarding cutting out then this may help - If anyone has an issue with their Octane which makes it stall after a few minutes of running it stalls and then doesn't start until cooled down, the problem is with the Flywheel Sensor, you need to shave off some plastic from the bottom of the sensor so that it sits closer to the magnet. The heat makes it expand and move away from the magnet hence the stalling. I had that problem with my octane and was such a hard thing to figure out. I even got a new CDI on warranty but that wasn't the problem.

Love your vids Kev! Been watching every video for years! Keep what your doing, it’s amazing!!!
I am just getting back into the hobby after about 25 years and I bought a Traxxas vxl rustler and it's been a lot of fun. The new technology is amazing compared to the rc 10 I had when I was a kid. Love the videos man I've learned a lot from you guys already so thanks for posting.
The electric stuff really put this hobby in a next level area
Welcome back
Same here
You have a very nice car bro welcome back
Man you're not kidding. Brushless, LiPo, and 2.4Ghz radio have CHANGED the GAME. I take this big ol' 9 pound Outcast truck out and get 12 or 15 minutes at full blast, and it goes like 50mph.
Well if I can’t have it , why should I watch? Oh I can’t resist bring it on Kev, anyone else off to eBay?
Love it Kev, keep it up. We've recently got full on back into Rc because of your videos
I was one of the unlucky few who actually purchased this 9 years ago. It came faulty from the factory & it's very hard/impossible to get it to work properly. I ended up converting it to electric. I still have all the octane parts sitting in a box
Nixos, Interested in selling those parts? Of course, depends on where you are.
@@bookerol I'm not in the US
details on the conversion? I have one sitting around and heavily considered doing this
@hock3y4lyf3 i made a part list google it since I'm not able to post a link here: Hpi savage forum octane gas to electric
That motor is basicaly a nitro motor with an ignition and a different carb! They dropped it because they never ran right
Team Losi also made a Petrol version of either the LMT or the Truggy with a similar engine as well
Great to see you brought it back to life Kev. Great video as usual mate. Looking forward to seeing once it’s all sorted. 😎👊🏼👍🏼
Its so funny when you jerk the car off when trying to start it 🤣 that sound....
That zip tie prank was hilarious!
Interesting truck, seemed torquey but slow. It'll probably go better when you give it a good going over.
Awesome Kevin!!! It seemed to run rich in the beginning and lean at the end. Would be helpful to clean the carburettor, 2 stroke gas will gunk up after it hasn’t been used for a long time. New spark plug also helps to rule out a possible failure.
Yeah 99% of the time a small 2 stroke not running well is the carb. Might even need a tear down and have the jets cleaned out with carb cleaner and a Q tip.
There's another youtuber, mustie1 who tears down ALL sorts of small engines and the majority of the time it's the carb. The jets get clogged up ALL the time. I mean, they are like .01" in dia so it's no wonder. Same as the needle valve in the float bowl.....1 teeny bit of crud and it'll flood all the time.
Also never let gas sit in the tank/ motor
Great vid Kev. Any more classic rc's in the collection worth a show?
I'm really happy to have two of these. Both are running well.
very nice car. I've had the Savage 25 at home since around 2005 and I rode it almost every day back then. Very robust for the time.
I'm hoping to get one I built out this summer too, absolute pain but super cool trucks!
Man I’m grateful for modern brushless now 😅
Kevin I look up to you a lot and wanna be just like you I admire u all the time I always watch your videos I wanna meet u badly. Thanks kev for what u have done

Kev have your seen the new Primal Rc Grave Digger? And, any plans of getting one?... Heard there's only a limited run of production..
Ya that thing is huge rite ..Hi From V&B Speed a rc community
I've got 3 of theses savages .. not the gas version but the nitro versions.. I love them
My neighbors would absolutely love hearing that!!!!
Banned ?? What ??

pranks escalating, 3 months from kev will be in game over only to find the brake lines have been cut. lol
🤣🤣🏁
i had an HPI 2 stroke years ago but I destroyed it. i was much less responisble with my money at the time lol.
Hey Kev can you do a video about the Arrma Typhon 3s
kev i would not make a vid on a new rc because max will brake it
I still have two, what a find! 🙌🏼
Hay Mr. Talbot. How about a Savage 5T ? It's a 1/5 scale with a 5.9 nitro motor in it. I have one NEW IN THE BOX. Never stated it.
Wow how is that ?the new one u have in the box
@@vbspeed7571 I ordered it from a hobby shop in England 🇬🇧. I paid almost as much for shipping as I paid for the truck. I'm in the USA 🇺🇸.

Banned? How or why is it banned?
Just think nine years ago you couldn’t afford a rc monster truck and now your driving a real monster truck ! Congrats you’ve come a long way !
That has probably the lowest RPM I've ever heard from a motor that small lol

A very unique and very special rc car one il get one tooo hopefully
How would you be worth a NIB?

Kev, how about you buy a 10-15 cc petrol engine and convert one of your nitro cars to petrol?
Only God knows how badly i m waiting for his videos kindly put the link for this spray for cleaning rc car
If his failsafe was setup correctly then you just turn off transmitter. Haha but it was a good laugh 🤣
So satisfying!! All that work payed off to a degree!! Run away electric 😂😂
People made mistakes setting shift points is key. The engine dont rev super high. Its technically a heli 4 stroke engine i heard. . But set 2nd gear shift first then 3rd.
It cleaned up very well with that spray and pressure wash

I've got a 36cc rofun 2stroke in my zippkits easyvee. I couldn't get it to run. Going to get a zenoah and trash the Chinese garbage engine
There was supposed to be a v2 of this truck, but I don't think it ever came out. Was supposed to come with the engine broken in already I believe.
There's a company that makes a convirsion kit for them to put a 4bolt motor on no more ignition problems just regular 5th scale motor and killswitch
How was that funny, causing a runaway situation, especially being a nitro powered vehicle, created a extremely dangerous situation, not cool
One of my favorite videos. You have done with your octane 👍
Obviously 8s had to come in and ruin it with his weird ass almo voice. Bravo steve
I have one aha the xl but nitro. 3 spd and reverse.
Also a hard start. Literally broke my pull cord and it's in pieces after converting it to drill start
Quick hint: since a few nitro videos I've noticed that they don't seem to roll, when releasing the throttle. Either you are going throttle-brake real quick or you might adjust the trim/linkage. The clutch(es) will thank you. 🫡

thanks bro ill try that!
or just try a 4 stroke its more faulty but idles great and has little to no stalling problems
