Great video , I'm restoring a savage right now , I bought two in bits and im slowly going through it and putting one together , I hope to build one really good one and have lots of good usable parts left for if I need them in the future, I'm enjoying nitro again after playing with lipo powered cars and trucks , got my Tmaxx 3.3 running nice now so I hope the savage goes as well , keep making your videos mate 🇬🇧

[@lucaswilliams1011]

Your a riot! Love you enthusiasm and passion for all things Rc . If you smell what the nitro gang is cooking baby! 🤜🏼🤛🏼🤙🏻😝

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! Glad to have you here bro, I'll be doing some SPEED RUN vids with this Savage soon, then we will know the FINAL top speed based on REALISTIC expectations. Anyway, the NitroGang currently is using an AIR Purifier and Ionizer so it smells pretty clean! ahah .

[@philliplyn2692]

Loving this one thanks nitro gang let’s go two speed baby I’m glad you’re having a good time 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@jpslayer2016]

Back in the day I tuned my t-Maxx transmission to hold 1st gear longer for hill climbing and when I ran it on pavement it would hold 1st at a very high RPM and when it shifted into 2nd gear it would be in the power band and it sounded so good like a F-1 🏎. I don’t know what the rpm was but it would haul donkey. So dang fun!

[@FIPackage]

Get another one

[@layback209fixorsmash3]

Awesome video! Love a good savage tune up session after a rebuild. Once she's set, she's set. Only needs a minor tune here and there. I like that this is a 2 needle carb hsn and lsn, it's a matter of preference but for the beginners feel that helps. It's such a great platform you can't go wrong with a Savage x. I. Biased though lol, I think im up to 9 hpi nitro savages.

[@rugerp95mx]

Awesome Video, Awesome Truck and Awesome Tunning.

[@thomasteigen2793]

I think the actual difference between those rotostart system was,that the old most common system had the one way bearing on the engine. And the other had a one way bearing buildt inside the drill to. I used to sell hpi products for a couple of years. So i had to familiarize myself with all new changes to know what i was selling.

[@smugglersrun2183]

Thanks for helping make nitro great again love the videos

[@Hemihart]

The Savage X has to be my favorite nitro of all time.

[@lucaswilliams1011]

One of the classics for sure

[@little696z]

I joined nitro game after about 7 years only with brushless but I didnt know what I am losing. Nitro is so fun I have two savages (you know to have always at least one running) they are running sweet!

[@michaelwhitham4501]

Great vid just bought a fixer upper myself today,had loads of these savages back in the day

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! Thanks for watching! Awesome, im happy to know people are making these Savages great again, as they once were, and always will be, you know! Lets make Nitro great again!! BTW I have a video on the newest model savage out too.

[@rcnitroflux2361]

Love my savage bro keep making nitro great bro

[@ryanhooker7263]

Looking forward to getting my Savage 4.6 💪 just picked up a cheap broken nitro truck and got it running miiint 👌 time to get out and burn some nitro

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! Sorry it took me a while to respond to your comment, but YES! Lets burn nitro and make it great again! lol.. You can't kill these trucks!.

[@artysa.blackwood4261]

Got one of these who have not see a start in about 10 years, have it whit all the upgraded parts, 3 speed transmission, pipe, upgraded suspension, metal driver, etc. Wonder what a have to do to start it again, cleaning carb i guess ?

[@bendover3820]

Great radio. I picked one up, Using it in a River jet boat. Thanks for keeping Nitro Alive! unfortunately i switched to the darkside with "Lie Pos", But I cheat...

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! Thanks for watching and acknowledging the greatness of the Flysky GT5 radio. It seems no matter how much greatness it has, people still buy the complicated Futaba systems, and cannot figure out anything on them, lol. Anyway, you're allowed to own Electrics too, just don't let them NITROS DIE!!!!

[@adventures3699]

The savage is awesome!!! I just got one but Im still working on the tuning. Could you please tell me how many turns you got on the low speed needle!!! Its giving me a little trouble !!!

[@hpiedsavageed7608]

And that is why the savage is my favorite rc truck! ;)

[@hybrid32494]

whats up my dude! Yes, you can't kill a savage! They are solid GRADE A NItroGang trucks, as you can see. Glad to have you here, and thanks for the support man!. More on this savage soon, we will be doing speed runs.

[@pistonpoweredrc2092]

Great video boss💪🏽 NWO go nitro gang

[@nitrogang4416]

Sickening video!

[@ty27tp]

Thinking about converting my 4.6 to nitrostart because it eliminates the one way bearing, engine will have a different rear shaft too

[@scottgaskin8574]

I've got the 25 love it tough ass truck

[@voneboy]

Great video my dude!!I had a hard time to take the decision which Savage I should get.I was between the Savage X and the XL..You tell me on the live chat that the XL would be the greater decision .I trust the Nitrogang Boss !!! So I was able to find one ,yeah it was not cheap (A lot more expensive than any X ),however it seems to be in awesome conditions !Still waiting that the beast will be delivered here ..Can"t wait to get it!!! I still hope that the power feeling of the XL is nearly so good as on the X!:-) Back in time I revbuild a X "SS" for a cuistomer adding a 3 Speed and a LRP Z.30 which was built and breaking in by my self,this was the definition of a beast lol ,still have here on KZbin a small video from this. Still remember that the X was able to push with any issues wheelies on command ..Because I never drove a XL i"m not sure if he is also able to do this due the different wheelbase and plus of weight.

[@hybrid32494]

Hey bro! Im proud of you getting the XL, I have one too, and will never sell it. I will tell you a very significant observation I've made about the XL vs the X, besides the XL being super rare in comparison and having much beefier drivetrain and 3.75 HP engine instead of a 2.9, the XL's longer chassis handles SPEED RUNS very very well. The X seems to be a wheelie truck, while the XL is much more planted (due to the longer chassis). Its a totally different experience, once you run the XL you will probably agree with me, let me in the future.

[@voneboy]

@@hybrid32494 Hey my bro and thanks a lot for your reply!! Haha,thanks! Perhaps interesting for you to know, The videos of your Savage XL (Ive seen them all for multiple times ) was the main triger to wake up my interest on this version ,so i know excately that you have on XL ,one brand new never driven X and the second hand X which you ran on this video..Aside from that,I have watched every single Nitro related video on your channel:D Your observation seems to me very interesting ,thanks for that! As mentioned yesterday on the Live chat,I think that a video of a direct comparison about them made by Hybrid themself would be unique on KZbin and absolutely epic! Think about it!! The XL is truly a super rare Nitro truck , it was a headache to find one at really good conditions and by far more expensive than the currently prices for the used X ones.. As soon as I have drive it ,I will tell you about that .:-) PS. I will try to bring at near future also more videos showing Nitro"s hoping that this will motivate more people all over the world to run Nitros in order to make Nitro great again..My first one is allready online,a small tribute about my HPI Nitro Rush ..Awesome stadium car!!!

[@theprotube6766]

Can you tell me how to tune it back to stock and get it running can find best position for all tune screws

[@jezzeestewart3712]

[@rcwariat4883]

[@garrettfeury3505]

My savage i purchased in 2015 came with the NITRO START with the hex shaft

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! That's interesting, im thinking maybe the one you got was some OLD stock, because by those years it was the Roto-Start 2 System in them.

[@2040RC]

Nice video 😎🔥

[@bucksrcworld8119]

certified ripper brother!!

[@hybrid32494]

thanks bro!!

[@mainerulesrc9210]

Looking from rear, left rear wheel should be swapped with front left. The wheels are are flipped.

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! Very good observation. Right after I recorded that scene I did notice the tires were flipped and I did rotate them correctly. The running footage in this video was done after the rotation, so rest assured that was the correct setup during the driving footage. Thanks again bro.

[@GoFastRC]

Sweet vid, makes me want one. Kinda as a resto project. It sounds like it was doing a 2 stage idle after you got off the throttle from hitting that 2 SPEED BABY, but when I hear these trucks they always sound like that. Is it normal for those engines?

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude! I highly recommend you get a nice used Savage X 4.6 model, just like the one in this video. It's the most common and lots of engines could easily be used in this truck. The 2-stage idle is a thing yes, I was still in the process of tuning the motor on this truck in this video. Generally I would say it's pretty acceptable compared to many other 2-stage idle carbs I've dealt with. Usually after some high RPM runs it's always a common issue. Could be a improper back pressure situation because the fuel tank pickup is at the top of the tank, a serious issue on the XL model btw.

[@danieldelahaye8502]

Not normal but not dramatic either. This engine needed a little tune to be perfect. Thanks to make nitro great again and your comments are important for beginners. Continue to talk about problems you have on carburation and tuning. 💪👍

[@burlingtonfilms]

What specific glow plug are you using with this savage?

[@LawrenceTimme]

The flysky gt5 is the top nitrogang approved radio. It's great and supports 20 cars.

[@mk4vr6dadwagon99]

Hey how are you? I just bought my first nitro RC , I got a savage x 4.6 for $50 . Didn’t come with the radio controller. But you can’t beat $50. The body is not in the best condition and I’ve tried looking for a replacement savage replacement body but no luck. What other body can I use that will fit my truck? Thanks for your help! I love your videos!

[@TheTommysbeast]

[@shanenitroinmyveins2504]

Did you have to rest set the carb needles back to factory ?

[@hybrid32494]

whats up SHANE! Good question. Whenever I rehab any nitro motor, I always fully remove the High Speed Needle clean it, then turn it all the way in, then back it out about 4 turns. On average 4 turns on any motor will be rich enough to be safe and it will still start. I honestly never even check what the factory settings are, because these things are already so worn in and there too many other variables, the only thing that matters is it starts, and then you randomly tune from there.

[@SargeScum]

Fast too!

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! Thanks for watching! These were not 100% top speed runs, I was in a very limited space with walls everywhere, I think it had about an extra 7-9 MPH left on the top end before hit top speeds.

[@jeremyjuliano1370]

Like your content I started out with nitro I’m in to electrics now but still love when I run nitro I bought Mgt 8.0 when it first came out never even ran it I sold it that is a regret I have I had the mgt 4.60 se and the kyosho mad force I hope your 8.0 is still running strong

The only time you can really smell what the NitroGang is cooking is when you're running SUPER RICH!! Richer than the citizen of Dubai, like I was last night with the Thunder Tiger Tomahawk. If you smellloooowwwwww what the NitroGang is cooking!! We cooking eggs in nitro cooling heads btw (and yes I did that once in a Team Losi XXX-NT video)..
