whats my dude DRE! Happy to see you running the OCTANE, no man people know about this truck and even fewer have one. BTW great tip on moving the CDI box to the front, I recently ran one myself and noticed pretty significant glitching sometimes.
@hybrid32494 Hey hybrid! Yeah, once I moved the box, the glitches stopped. The V2 that was never released had the box moved to the same position. It made more room for the lipo packs I'm using. Thanks for watching!
All I can say is that I never adjusted the carb out of the stock setting, I broke it In from there and with time and the engine breaking in it just smoothed out and was a rock solid runner from there. I think that is where most made the mistake with this truck. The carb does not need any fine tuning. Worked for me anyways.
Man I remember the 1/8th scale Gasoline craze. I had the Losi Gas one. XXL2 I think? Sold it a awhile ago but it was cool. I wanted the Savage one more but I think the Losi design was better? Idk they were cool kinda sad they died out.
I agree. They can be finicky at times. I believe most of the Octanes weren't sold in the US. Likely contributed to their decline. Thanks for your input.
@gingerman6560 these engines take awhile to break in, much longer than nitros and other gassers. Also needs to warm up before it starts to come alive. It seems to run better when I run it WOT for a bit. Stay tuned for more content on this truck soon.
@marknugent2574 hey! Thanks for watching! I appreciate it! Here's the only place I know of to get one new: www.ebay.com/itm/326188121160?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=oXsIjPYeTUS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=DO9-34WpSP6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Mines runs a little over half a tank before shutting off. It'll start right up after a few pulls. I'm still working with it. There have been times where it never shut off until I did myself though. Thanks for watching and your input!

@richardgordon9649 that's exactly what I did. No tuning adjustments so far.
Nice Video ❤😊
@@mariah-o5o thank you!
@@Dre357 Welcome
sounds louder than a normal 5th scale gas
@@tonydetwiler2624 it just might be.

Cool man👌
Thanks
Sounds a tad underpowered. Is that how it felt to you? Still a cool truck

Hey Dre, big fan here from Michigan. Can you still get new octanes? if so, can you recommend a website. Thanks in advance.
@marknugent2574 hey! Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!

Needs more fuel on top and bottom of the rpm range.
