HPI Savage 21 and Traxxas T-Maxx 3.3 NITRO BASH

[@Absolutecorn5767]

i love my t-maxx! i have the first gen short wheelbase 3.3 and threw in a Picco Omega X2 .21. thing has crazy balls now.

[@edrc1793]

Very cool! I have a big block converted T-Maxx that is ready to get broken in, can’t wait for that. I ran easily 3 gallons through this T-Maxx in 2020, it’s my favorite size truck for neighborhood bashing.

[@Absolutecorn5767]

@@edrc1793 right on. I'm currently waiting on a new carb, the one i had was from a sirio 18 and the composite body cracked.

Loving the high speed runs👍.

[@beachinrc101]

Wow 3 tanks back to back I always consider myself lucky if I run tank & 1/2 without breaking anything lol great to see these 2 Riggs ripping it up my savage broke in half but the moter was still great & of course I’ve had umteen moters on tmaxx now it’s got the savage moter but I cant seem to get past 3/4 throttle without breaking anything in the tranny & parts are getting more expensive every time I use it but it’s such a blast great vid guys

[@edrc1793]

My Tmaxx has been very reliable to me. Last year I ran 3 gallons through it. I have broken things on it but it’s to be expected. I’m not gentle on it. The Savages are a new platform for me, I was always a Losi guy with the LSTs. I’ll be running the Savages more this year and posting some vids. Thanks for watching!

[@thomasteigen2793]

Its so Nice to see you and your son drive together. Its important to try to learn the nitro skills to the younger generations. 👍

[@edrc1793]

The kid is my nephew, I’m teaching him nitro first. If he wants to try electric later on that’s up to him but my hobby is Nitro RC. Thanks for watching

[@tjgetem3783]

Yeah man I hope one day I can introduce my son to the hobby . Man this vid is great 🎉

[@williamoleary9330]

I used to have to warm up my Savage a bit more than you before I tuned the needles Great video! OG RC man!

[@edrc1793]

I have a battery operated heat gun for this season to give them a little warm up before starting. Thanks for watching!

[@1980VINZ]

PRICELESS AFTERNOON WITH SON !!!!!!!!!!! Love it Big salut 🫡 from France ! ViNZ.

[@williamoleary9330]

Had the Savage .25. It was a beast! Too bad HPI hasn’t their stuff together over the last several years and stopped production on a lot of their vehicles. Did just see they’re putting out a new Savage Flux Hey HPI how bout updating the Nitro Savage? Say Savage .30 and bring it into the 21 century!

[@edrc1793]

Savage is a pretty decent truck to still be running today, parts are available and it’s a good all around design. I also hope HPI gets back in the game.

[@thomasteigen2793]

I am happy i found this channel by «accident». Nitros are so much more fun compare to electrics imo. Good to se there is still people that make videos with nitros. Keep em coming.👍❤️

[@edrc1793]

Definitely enjoy my Nitros! We got to keep them alive. As long as there’s enthusiasts we’ll have companies making engines and kits.

[@peterfox3409]

Nice multi camera views ! Liked the tuning play by play. That is why most people stay away from nitro

[@edrc1793]

Thanks! Tuning is half of the fun 😉!

[@redbeardrc1452]

Fantastic video! I really miss the heyday of nitro RC. That Savage is mint, nice find. 2 great nitro monsters rippin' it up. 👍🏻👍🏻 Happy New Year! 🥳👊🏻👊🏻

[@edrc1793]

Thanks Bud, Happy New Year! I’ve been slow dragging on the videos lately but I have grown my collection a bit. I have a few savages (XL’s and 4.6s) and some other Nitro goodies. Can’t wait for the snow and cold to leave a bit so we can bash some more. BASH ON 🤘

[@nitroneal48]

Nice run of two awesome nitro trucks ,

[@edrc1793]

Thank you!

[@cagneywomack321]

Ant this such a fun hobby I got a tmaxx truck 3 3 and a taxxas revo vw bug 3.3

[@edrc1793]

Nice 👍, I do enjoy my Tmaxx. I’ll be running my Revo more this year.

[@cheezyrider1111]

Nice quality, you guys got plenty of room out there to rip!

[@edrc1793]

Thanks bud! I’m always looking for empty field or park to let’em rip.

[@tjgetem3783]

Excellent video

[@grantandrews2755]

Great video

Yoooooo sick vid bro its me kaskas from the nitro enthusiast group

@@edrc1793 no problem bro

[@jeffc7079]

Love it nitro guys

[@edrc1793]

Yes Sir!! Nitro is the hobby, put an engine on it and you have my interest 😀. Thanks for watching

[@mattster197]

How do you get the camera mounted on the side to be so smooth and work so well? is it a gimble?

[@edrc1793]

The newer GoPros are amazing in stabilizing the image. You’d be surprised what they can do on a rough ride.

[@scottgaskin8574]

Do u still use the 20% nitro .we're can I buy it online. It's been awhile since I've ran mine .thanks man

[@edrc1793]

I don’t run 20% much. The 30% has been running cooler and easier to tune. I’m sticking with 30 for a while.

[@kristoferandrea9199]

where did you get the 17mm hex for the savage?

[@edrc1793]

I bought the BAS ones. He sells them on Ebay or if you are on the FB savage groups the guys name is Brett S can't remember the full last name but he offers them on there also. I deal direct with him with no problems. I own his hubs for a few savages and Tmaxx/Revos

[@Red_miata]

Where did you get that tmaxx body?

[@edrc1793]

It was an eBay body. Can’t remember what it’s supposed to fit but I think it was for the slash

[@bikesrc4642]

Very nice 👌 - gave you a sub bro All the best " Nitro ant my thing but that things is running sweet 💯 all the best bro 👌☺️

[@edrc1793]

Thanks for the sub brother! Best to you as well!

[@Mike-um1cr]

Knew I recognized that tire blowout from somewhere on Facebook

[@edrc1793]

Haha, editing my footage was the tipping point for my Tmaxx to get some new tires. Them foams wanted to exit the sidewall 🤣. Thanks for checking it out!!

[@krodyssey4770]

What are those wheels and tires from in the savage. are those stock

[@edrc1793]

@@krodyssey4770 those are ones I bought from AliExpress (I believe Amazon has them now also), they are pretty inexpensive. Although I’ve read some folks complain about wheels breaking but I have not had that experience. I’ve run them on my Kyosho Foxx and Revo as well with no issues. I like that they have a good amount of offset, it works good for some trucks. Thanks for watching!

[@meanf1502]

I never tune my motors cold

[@deontay79ify]

Why u stop making vids. Ur shits good bro. Great content

[@edrc1793]

Thanks buddy! I appreciate that. I’ll be making some more. Just got caught up with my full scale cars a bit this year 😁.

[@Bang_n_slang]

The traxxas engines are beasts BUT aren’t durable at all. While most engines can last years , traxxas will last a couple months.

[@Bang_n_slang]

The old traxxas company had their durability*

[@edrc1793]

I’ve been having success by replacing the bearings and Carb. Some say it’s not worth it on those engines but I like how they perform and after replacing the crappy bearings they do last a good while. If you keep running them with the OE bearings the engine will destroy itself because they will 100% start to have play and that play will destroy the con rod and then it usually takes out everything inside. I’ve been getting into the habit of just keeping the stock bearings in for break in and then swapping, or maximum 1 gallon, any more and you’re looking for trouble. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@Bang_n_slang]

@@edrc1793 yes the carbs and bearing and rod are weak. Basically the entire engine lol I guess. But once you add the upgrades they’re beasts. Try swapping the stock carb with a Losi carb. You’ll see a huge difference !! Anyway good video bro. I have a Ntc3 with a novarossi 35 on it. I’ll post up a video Monday. Ill be racing an electric car for 💵💵💵

[@edrc1793]

@@Bang_n_slang Nice man, I’ll look up your vid and subscribe. I’ve been putting either the Losi carb or the O.S 11k carb if I feel like splurging. They both run equally well just the metal body is the difference. The 3.3 in this video has Ceramic Boca bearings and an 11k carb, I’m loving this combo with the THS pipe, feels way different than a stock 3.3.

[@roadrunnerorange]

Savage 21 engines last 8+ gallons because big blocks have lower rpms and never get overworked. Small blocks are lucky to hit over 3+ gallons because they hit higher rpms and get overworked.

[@arturos.l.2248]

Worst body ever.
