[@olds97lss]

I remember reading about the air filter assembly on that thing being really funky. If it's not installed a very specific way, the thing either won't run, or won't run worth a crap, so be careful when taking things apart on it and make sure to put them back exactly how they came apart, since it appears to be one of the ones that actually runs!

[@XARIER39]

That zip tie prank was hilarious!

[@LukeTheNukeRC]

Love your vids Kev! Been watching every video for years! Keep what your doing, it’s amazing!!!

[@jakeydeefpv]

I love the way these trucks look. First time I saw it a long time ago I was blown away. I've never been a petrol or nitro guy always been team brushless but GOD DAMN this truck looks good

[@Reaper_Rc]

Love it Kev, keep it up. We've recently got full on back into Rc because of your videos

[@scousejaz]

Love this can we please have more on this build. I ve had one for years and its really temperamental 👍👍👍

[@muskokamike127]

You'll probably address this when you replace the servos but it looks like the brakes were dragging. Whenever you let off on the throttle it slowed or almost stopped. When you get the ignition sorted, a rule of thumb for tuning the carb is to start how you did, turn it all the way in, then back out like a turn. They have a really good section on tuning it after it's been broken in. Very concise. I tried to see in the parts breakdown what kind of ignition system it has. couldn't really see from the parts breakout. Seems like you're getting a good strong spark though.

[@b1dodge]

I had 3 of them and have videos on my channel. The problem I had was the trans calibration was installed as a nitro xl 5.9. It wouldn't work because the Gas engine didnt rev as high as the Nitro. The trans wouldnt shift and would run out of rpm very quick. Run the set screw out to loosen the preload and it started to rip! Getting the truck out of low gear about a 1/2 second after you pull the trigger is key. Use the torque. It is a great idea just a manufacturing glitch that could have been avoided.

[@BasBoyRC]

That's great to see it working Kev, they were a problem in there day and a lot of videos of them not running. But what a rare truck, will be nice when fixed and in all it's glory.

[@WestOzRC]

Great to see you brought it back to life Kev. Great video as usual mate. Looking forward to seeing once it’s all sorted. 😎👊🏼👍🏼

[@Philipp_S.]

very nice car. I've had the Savage 25 at home since around 2005 and I rode it almost every day back then. Very robust for the time.

[@phildenyer3790]

What a cool truck! I love the modern stuff but that sort of thing is exciting in a different way. Always a pleasure to watch your videos Kev 👍

[@Andre.G]

I'm really happy to have two of these. Both are running well.

[@michaellatini9294]

I am just getting back into the hobby after about 25 years and I bought a Traxxas vxl rustler and it's been a lot of fun. The new technology is amazing compared to the rc 10 I had when I was a kid. Love the videos man I've learned a lot from you guys already so thanks for posting.

[@60MM325]

My neighbors would absolutely love hearing that!!!!

[@Pablo668]

Interesting truck, seemed torquey but slow. It'll probably go better when you give it a good going over.

[@Leonard-hk1nf]

Just think nine years ago you couldn’t afford a rc monster truck and now your driving a real monster truck ! Congrats you’ve come a long way !

[@Mrmarcelfennis]

Awesome Kevin!!! It seemed to run rich in the beginning and lean at the end. Would be helpful to clean the carburettor, 2 stroke gas will gunk up after it hasn’t been used for a long time. New spark plug also helps to rule out a possible failure.

[@muskokamike127]

Yeah 99% of the time a small 2 stroke not running well is the carb. Might even need a tear down and have the jets cleaned out with carb cleaner and a Q tip. There's another youtuber, mustie1 who tears down ALL sorts of small engines and the majority of the time it's the carb. The jets get clogged up ALL the time. I mean, they are like .01" in dia so it's no wonder. Same as the needle valve in the float bowl.....1 teeny bit of crud and it'll flood all the time.

[@jimmy5860jim]

Also never let gas sit in the tank/ motor

That's an awesome little car.. first time seeing you be gentle with an rc.

[@dspencer8827]

One of my favorite videos. You have done with your octane 👍

[@phil251170]

Great vid Kev. Any more classic rc's in the collection worth a show?

[@2wenty7RC]

I'm hoping to get one I built out this summer too, absolute pain but super cool trucks!

[@based_will]

I remember reading about this in some kind of RC magazine when it came out. I could barely afford to fix my rustler XL5 back then but always thought this was cool

[@Mark-mu4pj]

Nice one glad you got it working it's pretty cool.

[@bling1634]

That gas powered RC truck is epic and it was funny your friends RC car stuck at full throttle

[@alexandrelavoie7576]

The glitching servo is caused by the ignition modul. I have a savage octane, I moved the ignition module to under my rollbar cage and it stoped the glitching. The stalling is most likely not caused by the modual. It’s either bad carb settings or bad spark plug. The ignition modul either works or does not, there no in between.

[@KevinTalbotTV]

thanks bro

[@jotcw81]

LOVE the classical music, pls keep!!!

[@crazylarryjr]

Team Losi also made a Petrol version of either the LMT or the Truggy with a similar engine as well

I've never heard of that Savage but it's pretty awesome!

[@simscoordinator]

Looks awesome. Love the sound. Great video.

[@alantoms3263]

I wondered if one of these would show up - loved the idea of it at the time. I do remember when they came out, many who posted videos had real problems getting a consistent tune - others no problem, as it should be with petrol. Al.

[@robertedmondson175]

I've got 3 of theses savages .. not the gas version but the nitro versions.. I love them

[@5thgearedlined]

That zip tie here’s your radio back is hilarious

[@lokkytub3]

Regarding cutting out then this may help - If anyone has an issue with their Octane which makes it stall after a few minutes of running it stalls and then doesn't start until cooled down, the problem is with the Flywheel Sensor, you need to shave off some plastic from the bottom of the sensor so that it sits closer to the magnet. The heat makes it expand and move away from the magnet hence the stalling. I had that problem with my octane and was such a hard thing to figure out. I even got a new CDI on warranty but that wasn't the problem.

[@KevinTalbotTV]

thanks bro ill try that!

[@gamervaze1]

or just try a 4 stroke its more faulty but idles great and has little to no stalling problems

[@neontetra1000]

That losi make A savage look tiny. Amazing.

[@nalley6815]

one of the best feelings is growing up a little bit and getting all the cool stuff you always wanted but could never afford

[@Myhobbies85]

So satisfying!! All that work payed off to a degree!! Run away electric 😂😂

[@zbieguzbiegu]

Had one of them years ago, lots of fun, the only thing I remember even now is how stupidly loud it was. As for glitching, in this one receiver is to close to ignition module witch causes interference, move it out of the battery box and it works fine.

[@yindyamarra]

Well if I can’t have it , why should I watch? Oh I can’t resist bring it on Kev, anyone else off to eBay?

[@timsmith8426]

Hey man I have watched a bunch of your RC car videos and think that you are very knowledgeable about the RC car business. My question to you is what type of spray do you use to clean the mud and debris off of your cars and trucks when you are done playing with them. What do you recommend for clean up to remove mud and debris from your cars to prevent rust. I would also like to know the best place to get these products at and how much they cost. Send me some information there KEVVY my man and perhaps get a video on how to do it, properly. Just trying to help you out to promote more videos for you pal

[@calvinjacobs7908]

Excellent episode!!!!

[@joshlewis5285]

Nice find Kev, i converted my Losi Lst2 to gas so i could play in the winter with something loud, nitros dont do cold🤷‍♂️

[@BLSdesigns]

Wild! 9 years ago you couldn’t afford this and look at you now!! Shows how much can change if you’re determined to make the change

[@simonburrows9213]

I had one of these epic cars and suffered all the same problems you've got, don't wanna tell ya how to suck eggs but the carb needs to be kept super clean and all mixture adjustments in super small increments, if you can find a better ignitor then that should help, if you eventually get it going well then you'll need to suss out the 3 speed transmission adjustments 😂 - HPI made a V2 of this car to fix some "known" issues but I'm not sure if they ever released it. I sold mine in the end and bought a Kraton 6s 😊

[@tubeme4vr]

well done Kev!!!

I was one of the unlucky few who actually purchased this 9 years ago. It came faulty from the factory & it's very hard/impossible to get it to work properly. I ended up converting it to electric. I still have all the octane parts sitting in a box

[@Bacon676]

These things were notoriously bad when they were released, all the way to when they got discontinued. Ignition modules are known to fail, and it causes electrical interference with the receiver. Some guys were moving the receiver away from the engine and just running extensions, other people just dealt with it. Spectrum seemed to have the most interference, sanwa seemed alright.

[@rafrianregor4732]

I love it so much

[@batman785]

[@StewartLeslie1991]

Hey Kev I want to see more HSP or HPI nitro engine running if you can? Lots of people have the HSP 1/10 scale trucks but they have a tendency of stop working due to tuning an such. Would be great if you could show us how to keep them running well and fix if need be. Keep up the great work Kev and catch you in the next one.

[@ygto9740]

good evening I always enjoy watching it. I think that the bad ignition of the Savage Octane is probably the flywheel magnet installation. Please take a look and see.

[@bigblockjess617]

Ive always wanted one of those. So sick

[@ElveZ83]

Quick hint: since a few nitro videos I've noticed that they don't seem to roll, when releasing the throttle. Either you are going throttle-brake real quick or you might adjust the trim/linkage. The clutch(es) will thank you. 🫡
