Back when I used to work for a local LHS it was a common issue - the savage 2-speed was notorious for shifting way too early at the factory setting, basically leaving you with second gear all the time, better to wind the screw in 2 turns and see...... in the vid, was going to comment on the dodgy HPI plastic tuned pipe and then saw the result 😂 as you probably know Kev, The only supercharger that works on a two-stroke is a good tuned pipe! Keep Nitro Alive! It offends the sheep!
@End Government Extremism I get that, I would often rather fly under the radar, but I also dig the sound and smell of running a nitro buggy, plus, out here in the corporate dictatorship of Australia we have a lot of wide open space and very few people. Fewer by the day at the moment.....💉💉💉
Crazy thing is, there used to be a Nitro version of the Tonka/Hasbro ricochet! Hasbro came out with two Nitro trucks years ago and one of them was a Ricochet that runs either way up. Really rare now but search Nitro ricochet on here and prepare to say WTF!!!? (in a good way)
This is why i love my tnx 5.2r. Never had any Problems with the gearbox, engines are absolutly powerfull and you can start it with a drill. Still after 20 Years this thing runs great
Really love seeing the Nitro fun, especially when they are running well. The smell and sounds are just not the same with electrics, and with a fresh bottle of fuel you have basically infinite runtime unlike waiting for batteries to charge. Though you do have more cleanup afterwards if you want them to last. Since you have both it'd be awesome to see a side by side with the Traxxas Revo 3.3 and your thoughts on both of them.
Gotta love a good running nitro, especially the runtime. 30 minutes is just getting warmed up when it comes to nitro, 30 minutes you are changing out batteries in an electric.
Kevin, I just have to thank you for the years of good times and how fun it's been watching zince the start. I remember the day the video came out of you rubning over stuff. The videos are only getting better and better.
still have my savage from 2004 . best thing i did was novarossi .28-8 , RD LOGICS 61850 pipe and with 3 speed . i just put lx shocks bypass , powerhobby servo , and fling king 2-6x3-8 tires . best r/c ever made !!
I've got an old SS 4.6 savage that's been sitting in a cupboard for 12 years. After seeing this I think I'll be heading down the LHS on Saturday morning and picking up some fuel, tube, glow plugs, maybe a hump pack and getting the old girl running again Cheers Kev
you get it going? i recently got my 2013 model back running... mine fired right up with some fresh nitro and a heat gun( motor was pretty tight, it is very little time on it though)
i like my nitro savage X it runs great now shifts and i put a lot of new accessories on it including the exhaust and spur gear now i think i will change the body style. great video can’t wait for mor great job Kevin.
Watching you run Nitro cars shows very clearly how much throttle control you use. It can be heard clearly. It’s impossible to pick up with the electric RCs. Very educational
Love the way that El Camino body turned out! Glad you cut out room for the engine cage rather than ditching it. I think it looks better with the cage showing, like a full size monster truck.
I have a old school savage x with a LRP .32 spec 4 engine in it with a 3 speed gear box . It's all run in and shifting all 3 gears perfect . Wheelies through gears .....They are great fun but a lot a messing around 😂
Hey Kev you’ve inspired me to get some of my nitro cars running again. Thanks for the awesome content! Have you ever run any of the Traxxas nitro trucks like the Tmaxx or Revo?
She's running great! 2 spd is awesome, love it when it drops into high gear. Always rewarding when it all comes together. Man can you wheel the savage with authority. Can't wait for more. We should send you a ERCM (extreme rc mods) pipe for her. Hand made here in Alberta Canada, Stainless steel, skookum and legitimate performance adder. Engine is so much happier when running it.
I love ur channel and workshop you are so lucky to have all the best equipment and the extra cash to pursue such a unique hobby I can't wait to see you beat the R/C land speed record for now till someone else copies you. Lol.
Hey kev nice video!! i love hpi savages i have a hpi savage 25 with 3 speed transmission and LRP zr28 spec 4 engine. I think your engine its run to rich. Buy a thermometer and check the engine after fire up. In nitro engine the temperature must be 120-130 C maximum and if you want too run safely the temperature must be 110 C maximum. so if the temperature of the engine is very high set the fuel mixture to Richer. if the temperature is very low set the fuel mixture Leaner. I hope I helped you with how to tune his engines. looking forward to the next video!!
Hey absolutely love the videos, you inspired me to get back into it after years and have bought a Wpl D12, going to make a top speed machine 😂 if you can call 45+ fast and as your not new to speed runs see if you fancy a race? Cheers Rich.
Alot of people give chev the credit for inventing the car ute style but ford came out with it a couple years earlier with the ford Ranchero and before that they had the Australian prefect ute
hey kev, I am a BIG fan of you and been watching you before you hit the 1M suscribers just thanking you for taking me into this expensive coola dn fun adventure with you.
Kev, the idle mixture setting is close, lower the idle speed slightly, then lean the idle mixture slightly, keep lowering the idle speed, that’s the key! Then it won’t have that awkward high idle sound
Brilliant. But how come all Kev's RC cars end up running round like big, daft, noisy puppies, but instead of nipping fingers and biting ankles, they just have a chew on his wallet?! Great content as usual mate, keep us smiling while the world falls apart around us! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Kevin! I think you should really try to find a losi muggy! It’s really good and tough, and with the upgraded diffs, it can take 8s pretty easily, but as a nitro it’s an absolute blast
You should try and find the savage truckzilla kit from hot bodies it had an extended chassis and a helicopter motor in it with some serious power. I had one a long time ago. So much fun
Kevin have you ever had a nitro vehicle with an actual supercharger on it? About 10 years ago I had a Losi LST 2 that I put 2 engines on and each one had its own belt driven supercharger. S.O.B. Was extremely fast.
If it's a headache for Kev, it's way too much of a hassle for me. Love gas, but I'll stick with electric. Appreciate that you show all the work that goes into it.

I hope you don’t enjoy things just to offend others. That’s a scummy way to live.
They attracts a lot of unwanted attention. Not sure why you'd want that, I'd rather fly under the radar.

@@leemollison7508 How you made something about nitro cars into and anti vax wanker is beyond me mate. Grow up.
😢😂
I see your nitro tuning skills have improved squire 💯
im winging it!!
@@KevinTalbotTV well your somewhat flying in the right direction.
@@KevinTalbotTV lean that out a little. Get a laser temp gun it will help tuning. 4.6 motor should pull front tires all day long.
Love all the nitro and gas content lately. 👍
I wish Kevin would become a nitro tuning master so he can teach us lol. Also a drag race between the savage and revo 3.3 would be awesome
Think if it was my revo it would win
My vote is on the revo lol, the traxxas low range is pretty low. And the trx 3.3 is a hidden gem of an engine imo
@@finleymakee4850 agreed. The 3.3 is a powerful and reliable motor. The 2 speed makes it quick off the line too
@@finleymakee4850 ive put 10 gallons through a 3.3 They are good engines.
@Reaper9789 still not as fun, and that's the point of the hobby, so I say keep your nitros, and maybe have an electric on standby for reliability
Kav is a crazy builder 👷
Love these old nitro videos..
A 3 speed manual transmission, in any electric even, would be EPIC
@@cKsener in electric it would allow awesome high speed and crawling too
ALWAYS nice to watch your videos🔥👍
Nothing is more fun than nitro when it’s running well these people that have never had a nitro will never understand
Nitro is the greatest RC experience you can have
Kev, remember the toy RC cars that are double sided, so you can flip them upside down and they keep moving? Reckon you could make a grown up version?
Just get a truggy (Sledge) use droop screws to level the suspension (or lock it) and install giant wheels!
Crazy thing is, there used to be a Nitro version of the Tonka/Hasbro ricochet!
Hasbro came out with two Nitro trucks years ago and one of them was a Ricochet that runs either way up. Really rare now but search Nitro ricochet on here and prepare to say WTF!!!? (in a good way)
weird feeling that a new Kevin Talbot video just appeared 4 minutes ago
I love it that is my all time favorite body! I wish they made it in different scales I would put one on everything! Awesome paint job
yeah man I love it!
How it all started, Nitro! The sound, the smell, you cant beat that!
that savage working so smooth now !! So cool !
Kev the el Camino idea absolute mad man ,it’s so good I love seeing the end product and nice idea for the chrome , like the red on it aswell.
Great job on the body Kevin!! Great video man as always!!
The Savage is so great!!! And that body looks really good!!!
I have a Savage, too. I love the sound and the smell of Nitro RC cars. They Rock 😅🤘
I always had issues with the 2 speed trans on mine as well, the 3 speed trans upgrade fixed that problem and made it faster as well
man its been many moons since i seen a old hpi muscle truck on a nitro savage. this is og right here. straight back to 2005-07 right on kev
I love the Chevy cars even the classic 👌
This is why i love my tnx 5.2r. Never had any Problems with the gearbox, engines are absolutly powerfull and you can start it with a drill. Still after 20 Years this thing runs great
Great job Kev!
Running great!!
Kev is single handedly causing nitro rc sales to spike.
Your "booom" transitions are getting better👌

Nothing sadder than a racetrack full of electrics really. Racetrack full of nitros is pure excitement.
More nitro/gas action please 😄👍⛽️
Love your latest videos, so nice that your showing more nitro and petrol cars.
That's more like it, nice to see your old posse back, only one missing is Stempie.
Thanks for posting this! I have the Savage and never got it working perfect. You gave me some good ideas>
Whatever problems it has im sure kev can fix them
SANTA POD, kev and his monster truck belongs there 🤠💯🤟🇬🇧
Gotta love a good running nitro, especially the runtime. 30 minutes is just getting warmed up when it comes to nitro, 30 minutes you are changing out batteries in an electric.
Another great video . I’m glad you finally found 2nd gear 😅. I also have a savage x4.6 with a great tune . Love your videos man ,
Some love from india❤
I’m happy, Kevs got a new vid, new carnage
That el Camino shell looks absolutely awesome ! Good job Kev ! Glad you got it to change gear.
100% agree with you dude that body is epic.
Wow! Good job on the paint!

We're not gonna hurt that body...2min later...Skatepark!!! :D Good job on it, looks really good.
엔진 올만에 보는데 방구뀌면서 달리는 당신은 멋쟁이
Just got my monster truck festival tickets 🎉!!! Can’t wait to meet you mate ❤
Wow❤❤ car body better than before 😮
Great video 👍
You should get a atv (quad bike) body for the Hpi savage .
As well a 3 speed gear box .
They are rare to find.
Kev loves his Savage.
i like my nitro savage X it runs great now shifts and i put a lot of new accessories on it including the exhaust and spur gear now i think i will change the body style. great video can’t wait for mor great job Kevin.

Id love to see more. EK4 in the house
Love the way that El Camino body turned out! Glad you cut out room for the engine cage rather than ditching it. I think it looks better with the cage showing, like a full size monster truck.
I like how you’re pulling that switch
It's always great having nitro rigs around, I'm generally half way through a battery pack by the time they get running. Defo worth the effort though!
That body looks sick man. Good job
That body looks reall cool!
Love the HPI savage content!!!
You’re the reason my two year old yells tumble rumble 🤣
Keep the Nitro alive Kev!!!
I have a old school savage x with a LRP .32 spec 4 engine in it with a 3 speed gear box . It's all run in and shifting all 3 gears perfect . Wheelies through gears .....They are great fun but a lot a messing around 😂
loving the nitro vids
theres just something so nostalgic about a Savage with an El Camino body. Takes me back to 2005
Awww man nitros hit different ❤, loving the content dude!
Awesome man. You got it running well. That thing rips. Very cool video
Hey Kev you’ve inspired me to get some of my nitro cars running again. Thanks for the awesome content! Have you ever run any of the Traxxas nitro trucks like the Tmaxx or Revo?
He ran the revo 3.3 before the newer savages.Look for most advanced nitro rc and you’ll find it
he has a really awesome sets of revo 3.3 videos on his channel!
Donald Trump inspired me,what a guy 🤠👊🤟💯
@@rcloko908 your opinion
i have a few nitros my self mate you cant beat them
She's running great! 2 spd is awesome, love it when it drops into high gear. Always rewarding when it all comes together. Man can you wheel the savage with authority. Can't wait for more. We should send you a ERCM (extreme rc mods) pipe for her. Hand made here in Alberta Canada, Stainless steel, skookum and legitimate performance adder. Engine is so much happier when running it.
5:50 it looks like kev is doing a burnout because of the nitros smoke 😂
I love ur channel and workshop you are so lucky to have all the best equipment and the extra cash to pursue such a unique hobby I can't wait to see you beat the R/C land speed record for now till someone else copies you. Lol.
Only just realised the park you're at, Biked through it many times too lol
Knew the second park right away
2:28 the pitch of the chika-chika matches the music :)
love your vids, please dont stop the great work, i look forward to each and every one of your videos... PS which would you get an Xmaxx or UDR?
I had a streetcar years ago and I couldn't figure out how to get it to shift nobody knew and no instructions for it but I know now thank you
Looks absolutely EPIC
Stempie is an OG😄
I put the same shell on my traxxas tmaxx, about 18 years ago, kev is right nitro is such a pain but brilliant when working
So cool is this nitro savage. You've got the same pb with resin pipe as everybody. Melting it at the entry or breaking the pressure nipple...
Well done Kev your got there in the end ❤️👍🇬🇧
I think kev should let me film these cars doing big jumps with my freestyle drone chasing. I’m local 👍🏻

Question: If it was stuck in gear would you rather have it be in first or second?
Awesome, got to love a savage. I think you need to get your original one out
Alot of people give chev the credit for inventing the car ute style but ford came out with it a couple years earlier with the ford Ranchero and before that they had the Australian prefect ute
The colors you chose for the body match my 70 Chevelle Ss. Haha. Love it!!
hey kev, I am a BIG fan of you and been watching you before you hit the 1M suscribers just thanking you for taking me into this expensive coola dn fun adventure with you.
Nice truck bro 😎😎

That body looks amazing!?

Love ur videos❤❤❤ u are best youtuber
Y'all act like children and I'm here for it!
I don’t even have an rc car but I watch every video 😂
Love the Nitro's 👍
I got mine to shift right after setting it for the first time! 🎉 haven’t had problems since, but mine was stuck in first lol 😂
Not anymore
Kev, got a boost bottle plumbed into it!
looks really awsome kev
👍👍✌
