Prepping my HPI Savage - I have not🚫ran it in years - But Need to Run it Tomm LIVE Nitro Gang

[@Nitro_power_2025]

I like the savage XL 4.6 it's fast luck the gear haven't slip

[@nomusicrc]

I can't believe that tiny little spring stops the nitro from working It's amazing

[@hybrid32494]

yup, this is pretty common actually. That pin (called the starting pin) needs to be able to move in/out and make contact with the grove in the starting shaft. This probably happened because the engine has not been run in over a year and the oils just thickened up and caused the pin the seize itself closed.

@@hybrid32494 Glad you figured it out when you were talking about it I'm like everything looks perfectly fine and then you're like that pen supposed to be sticking out to grab the backplate and when you showed it I'm like oh that makes sense

[@inawrocki207]

We had our Savages out all weekend. My original .21 and this gen 1 X 4.6! There's nothing like them. The new V2's that just came out aren't built the same, sadly.

10:50 yes we say petrol not gas. Gas is reserved for taxis that used to use LPG. Petrol is short for petroleum. Unsure why USA says gas. It’s clearly a liquid. Also for RC we don’t actually say petrol. We say 2Stroke.

I don’t think it is always spinning that shaft when engine is on, because this pin with the spring engages only when you use the drill, because when the engine is on , the pin will go in an out in this path of the back plate, so basically this pin and the spring move in an out as many times as the rpms of the engine

loving the savage mate going to run mine tomorrow :) you inspired me :)

[@djcoolv4084]

I haven’t ran out non of my nitros in in at least 8 to 5 years except for my Savage the rest were locked up engines 😢

[@Wizardscustomotos]

Hey I have a question for you because I think you have tried both? We got a new race track here in ND for racing. I know you’re not a racer but Wednesday I am buying either a Kyosho mp10 or the Serpent SRX8 which one did you think handled better?

[@michaelinzitari]

14:00 I sold my kyosho buggies because I couldn’t find the idler gear

[@davidsinclair8952]

I'm finding hpi savage to had to think about and fix

[@hybrid32494]

Happy to hear that man! BE sure to look for the savage X4.6 model, or the Savage 25. I'd avoid the savage 21, it's pretty slow.

[@Hardy_boy1]

The savage is cinnamon and a noun, got it!

[@rcnitroflux2361]

[@lowellfunk8974]

[@michaelinzitari]

31:50 you need a Futaba then you can enter the entire name of your model. Futaba > FLYSKY 😊

[@josephdelgado3162]

Good job bro!!

[@toyotabogger]

I love my savages you can never own enough savages lol

[@RotoRCol]

So how do we store the engines for years so they don’t get seized ? Wd40 will last for years?

[@djcoolv4084]

I used Marble mystery oil to get mine unsized had to let them soak for days 😢
