Funny how a few years ago, everyone was hating on nitro rc and wanted to completely move away from it and now everyone is starting to love it again.

So glad to see you got yourself the savage. It's definitely stuck in second, you just need to adjust the screw for the gears 1/4 turn at a time until its where you want it

[seandeanchevy]

Screw the grub screw in all the way, then back out 3 1/2 turns.
Also put a little bit of super glue on the pressure tube from exhaust.
Change the clutch to alloy shoes, use factory springs.
Change the spur to hardened steel also pinion to 18t hardened

The Traxxas Eazy Start system is why I never looked back on other nitros. Just a fantastic bit of kit and you have a full body no need to remove every 5mins 👍

[eMrio]

it's unbeleviable that this company is still on the market, with such a quality..

[chriswheatley]

Faffy little issues just like those mentioned is what (back in the day) turned me to Traxxas rather than getting another HPI. Sure they have their own issues but straight out of the box I think the design just seems a little better thought out overall.

I'll live vicariously through you with some of these rc's. I'd need a master class on repairs before I'd ever be comfortable "fixing" a supposedly "complete" product.

Definitely stuck in second, bogging down heaps on take off. Doesn’t look like much room but cable tie the fuel lines

[doersrc]

It’s nice to see Hpi back at it.. the savage looks like a blast to drive. My only complaint is I feel the price is a bit steep.

[philipwebb]

Twist a piece of wire on the fuel tubing to the muffler just tight enough to keep it on. Or if you can get a zip tie on it that would work as well. When I raced 1/8 buggy and truggy I found the wire works the best. Also a longer fuel line may help as well

[Mudsuitable]

Hey Kev! The best way secure vent tubes, vacuum lines and small engine fuel lines is safety wire, get a pair of safety wire pliers and some thin stainless wire and give a couple wraps on the line you wish to secure and give it a few twists until it's tight, trim and tuck and let er buck!!

I looked at getting one of these years ago. Was kinda hoping this was going to be the Electric Raminator but luckily every video on this channel is a good one :)

[rickietatum]

Upgrading parts before even running out of the box is not really seeing if they've made it any better and sorted the original issues.

[Lord_Pistachio_Nut]

I LOVE that little metal "grinding" noise you throw in when hitting big jumps. Adds such a cool sense of anticipation lol!

That is all.

The Savage was considered the TMaxx destroyer back in the Day

[youtubeviewer]

In my opinion, the savage is still king. The longest reigning rc basher, and has had a large cult following since the day it came out. Also a lot of nostalgia value attached to it, good to see HPI keeping this car going for so long. I also thoroughly enjoyed the vid, keep it up!

[stavb]

I got a savage x, then fitted an lrp .28 back in 2000. After 16 years it still better than all other rc cars of today then :P

[crankITup]

12:29 "where is F**king second" sounds like you said kev 😂😅 the rage!!

[RCorDIE]

I had the old one years ago. I recall having to put extra loop of fuel hose on hose length. If not, when using second half of tank level it went really really lean and temp would skyrocket. Perhaps the fuel tank design was improved but if not careful with running lean. Great vid too
