I was never really all that big into HPI Savages, was always a Tmaxx fan myself. That said I always always ALWAYS lusted after and wanted an Octane. Never could afford it and by the time I could they were all discontinued. That and an Inferno MP5 and or MP7.5 were the three cars from back then that I wanted so bad but never got. Modern electric RC cars are awesome for sure but they lack the X factor, the je ne sais quoi that slow (comparatively) and unreliable old nitro cars have in spades. Thanks for the nostalgia and for the awesome entertainment Kev!

love HPI's old stuff. I have a Savage 25 i bought almost 20 years ago that I dug out of the garage after sitting for who knows how long and it fired right up. Been upgrading it and fixing some stuff and got it pretty well tuned in now. Just wish finding parts was easier. Got the wheel conversion like yours as well and that is the single best upgrade I have done. Much needed. Anyway, I just love nitros and petrols and would love to see more of yours!

What a beautiful music upgrade was that??? I like it a lot!!!!

I simply love this thing. RC’s used to be so much more fun when nitro and gas were a thing

Hey Kev! I’m sure you’re aware how the 2 strokes operate… With that engine being older, if any seals, gaskets or o-rings on the crankcase have expired it’s going to give you all kinds of problems… Tuning included… Now that it quit running all together is more of a sign something isn’t happy… Might need a rebuild… 👍

I really enjoy seeing the old cars being brought back to life. Ive got an old thunder tiger nitro toyota celica I bought back in the mid 90's that hasnt run for over 20 years I plan to resurrect. It wasnt the greatest RC car of its day, but I had a lot of fun with it.

Love how you babied the old beauty. I smiled the entire video. 😎

[Emo_Vegeta]

Kev I think the battery for the ignition box was dead at the end there. I had also a similar issue with the car not wanting to start after long runs and feeling loose, you gotta let the engine completely head cycle and it will run again. And I mean COLD to the touch.

[laybackfixorsmash]

Wow, I've never seen one run so good before. Yes please would l9ve to see more. And would l9ve hpi to re-release this version as well. The tuned pipe it comes with stock is phenomenal!!!!

[hobokid]

I love every single video you make of your HPI savages, can never have enough videos! Looking forward to the X and XL videos coming again

[t_bagxpress]

I always wanted an Octane when I was younger. All reports back then said it was so unreliable. Would be cool to see HPI make a new and improved version.

I really like all the driving segments at the end of your videos after seeing all of the effort and thought you put into the rigs at the beginning. Thanks dude!

[TurbochargedHobbies]

Definitely wanna see more of the savage octane, so glad you got a thunder tiger ek4. I remember back in the day seeing ad's for that truck in the back of rc car action, the engine in them is freaking huge

[frisos]

Definitively want to see more of that Savage!

[Basherqueen]

AWESOME! That looked so much fun to drive around! Hope you get the engine back up running 💪👍

[johnbunkoski]

Yes, would love to see more on that truck, and more !

[sgeb]

That part at 9:48 made my day. :D Awesome RC car again, by the way. Seems pretty robust as well.

[Meisterschnorrer]

The Manta Ray was my first RC-Car...Bought it 1994, at the age of 13....Still have it, and another one for spare parts 🙂

[NiklasAdv]

Love the look of the tires and wheels!

[Serialcrasher]
