I was into nitro cars like 20 years ago, back then if you didn't buy an OS you had nothing but problems, it looks like nowadays most brands are pretty decent

If you can fit a big block engine in it that will make it even faster as you can go up more teeth
@gatti49317 күн бұрын
Stop leaning your engine pal it was at its best on the first run ! Simply change your clutch bell , go up 2 teeth , If your running a 12 tooth pinion put a 14 tooth on , you will then get 45mph 😉 Don't go much over 2 teeth as you will start to burn out your clutch , 2 teeth should be fine though , iv had nitro cars for many years

@kh40yr2 ай бұрын
You want that engine to be heated to about 200°-220°F before every start. As soon as it starts, it will cool down slightly from your preheat temp, then it will slowly heat up as it runs. It will start faster and last longer if preheated to 210°f each time, no matter the day temp. Lockable hemostats snapped on the carb feed line first, so it doesn't "hot wick" fuel to the carb and then hydrolock. Make a soda pop can heat shield to place around the carb to keep from overheating and wicking fuel into the motor during preheat.. Once you do this and do it well, it will fire right off when touched with the Rotostart. Your Rotostart driver, battery, and engine will thank you. Bought my first Savage 25 RTR when released in August of 2003. Wish I would have kept it. Might need a new one.

Had a 03 Savage 25, right when they released. The aftermarket was crazy back then with instant gratification to needed fixes. Good luck finding that aftermarket now. Won MANY races back then, once a few things were sorted. Ended up with an reverse delete extended chassis and a Ed Bridges Nova .28 8 port with a 3 shoe alum. Put a heat gun on that new motor for break-in tanks. You want 200-210°F, before it ever sees the Rotostart. Cover the carb with a chunk of alum can for a heat shield as you preheat. Lockable hemostats on the engine fuel line so you don't hydrolock. I still preheat all of my engines, no matter the gallons thru. They start soo much easier, and easier on the Rotostart and starter boxes. I actually still use the Rotostart assembly on several models I have. Remember the early aftermarket I talked about?. You could get the bits to fit a Rotostart to just about ANY engine back then. Thanks for the Vid.

Nice video. I did one on this truck recently and found that if you vent the body in the rear, that truck will do 55 MPH totally stock on 3s. It will still want to stand up but not nearly as badly.

Very nice, bro. I need to try this. What I use and works for me is a degreaser I get from the dollar tree and I pretty much do it how you do with the hose and a small brush to get all the gunk and dirt off, and I use the compressor as well to dry it off.
@thatdrh5 ай бұрын
That’s way more work than you have to do. Just buy the extended lugs. They basically threaded shafts with a nut milled on the end. Good video none the less. Many people don’t know about either option.

I'm thinking of swapping out the stock engine with a Nova, but I don't know if I will need an adapter or not and I don't want to order the engine and find out I can't use it. Has anyone done an engine swap on one of these yet?

That's definitely a tough-looking truck. You can't beat Nitro powered RC Monster Trucks! I'm currently running the Kyosho USA-1 Nitro and I recently raced against a Traxxas T-Maxx 3.3 Nitro. I would love to race against the HPI Savage someday. I have a question for you: why do you rev the throttle up and down so much? I myself prefer to keep the throttle nice and smooth and steady, like I would when I'm driving a full-size vehicle. Anyway, thanks for your video, and I will subscribe to your channel!
@williamoleary93309 ай бұрын
Ugh that tranny. HPI has carried over the not shifting issue from the last gen Savage to this one. Why HPI, why???? They have a legendary truck that used to never have any shifting issues so this is a disaster in my mind. The adjustment screw is a little off so it’s not easy at all to get a driver into. I have the previous gen Savage 4.6 and I’ve only run it 5 or so times because it’s stuck in second gear so no wheelies at all. I’m going to have to remove the whole transmission in order to proper get the screw and there’s gonna be a whole lot of adjustments to get it sorted out. Ugh HPI…….
