I think your glow plug went bad and that’s why it wouldn’t start or you most likely ran the motor too lean

Funny, having trouble with the ignition interfering with the radio...same problem they had in the 70's in full sized cars.......not sure if wrapping the module in foil would help you or not....I know when they shield magnets they just put a metal shield around them to "disrupt" the magnetic field.....

Idk, I prefer electric over gas on rc. I just want to let it rip, not fine tune and fiddle with everything just for a few minutes of fun just to repeat the process. Gas is fun when you have time to waste 😂

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.

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!

Definitely want to see more of it

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.

I reckon given the age of this old relic , there’s a good chance the piston rings have snapped from wear and tear causing loss of compression , would also explain it firing intermittently and not wanting to stay running

I can totally see kev dancing to this music while working in his rc cars 🤣🤙🏻awesome!

The new music Kev…..ehhh

I still have & run my HPI savage. All the electronics are new & I did 2 aluminum shocks with reservoirs per wheel & a full aluminum roll cage. It’s a blast.

My "old" HPI Super 5SC Flux is one of the most fun RCs I own. They've made some great cars in the past!

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.

Definitively want to see more of that Savage!

That ek4 is an absolute beast, I remember when they came out, most powerful nitro monster truck I've ever seen

Hey Kev, try taking that carburetter apart and put it in a sonic cleaner and then put it back together set it to the stock settings and then make very small changes on mixture screws till you find your tune

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!!!!

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

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… 👍

Kev. Get yourself a hyper go brushless 16208. They nuts and indestructible. Always puts a smile on my face.

Yes more please I absolutely love it

Kev I think I know why hpi used those tiny little hexes on the wheel nuts. I think it was so you could use your glow plug wrench on the wheels so you didn't have to carry around another wrench to take off the wheels. I did this for a while on mine and it worked pretty well... until it didn't. Still a sucky design but that's why I think they did it.

My experience with these engines and the crank sensor is timing. Once you take it off, you now lost the ignition timing. Even if you put it back where the screw indents are, it still changes.

Just left the skatepark after breaking my 2wd Stampede... thanks Kevin! Can't wait to fix it 😊😂

Try adding a heat-resistant tube, sheet, or whatever on the ignition wire or cord. Should prevent it from being cooked on the hot engine fins

The Savage Octane, as well as the 8ight Octane was super unique itself. Sad it went down so quickly

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

I love your collection of rc cars even though I have one rc car I like your videos.

If an RC is this problematic out of the box im really not surprised it was discontinued lol.

Damn I got to say this is the best I have seen one run, right up till the end😅. Definitely a bummer it dies out like that but sure you can get it going good

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

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

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!

T maxx was definitely better than Savage, better features too with reverse and the EZ Start, but do have a soft spot for the Savage since it was the first nitro I ever drove when a family member had one, but probably the nicest Kevin has been to a RC car that I've seen since I've been watching the channel 😂😂😂

@inawrocki207

It's funny you say that. Growing up, Savage .21 changed the game with its legendary durability that Tmaxx couldn't even begin to rival. It was bigger, heavier, faster. Also, Savage is still one of the handful of Nitro's that can have reverse, too. All of mine have reverse channel 3. Including the Octanes, which took unique to a whole new level. It's a shame the new managed HPI is nothing like the original premium company. Not gonna lie, the new V2's use garbage Chinesium hardware, overall not great. But that TVP chassis is still superior in every way.

@@inawrocki207 I was honestly a fan of both my uncle had a savage I had Traxxas, Tmaxx definitely had reverse in its earlier ones and the option to add it in later ones, I had a Traxxas Smaxx which was a 2wd tmaxx basically, later added a 4wd kit which made it like a Tmaxx with a different body, had it as a teen and wasn’t kind to it at all only issues I ever had were a clutch spring and then a one way bearing for the EZ start, the 3.3 and 2 speed was a animal for me I ran VP 15-20% nitro thing was awesome until I let it sit for years

This video does a fantastic job of capturing the spirit of the hobby. Nice work Kevin 💪🏻💪🏻

Love the smell and the sound of the nitro cars, but I don't have the patience to deal with them when they don't want to start. I want to thank you for the knowledge and information about these name brand trucks. I had a few of the bangood specials over the past few years for my grandson and myself, and he's been urging me to get some better and bigger ones lately. He's getting old enough for the big trucks and he's a good driver so this winter we got some good trucks and we're having a blast out bashing with each other!!!

Hell yeah man I was expecting to see this rig!!! Been looking forward to it since the first video!

Just love to see you and your friends fixing, running and having so much fun is great entertainment!

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

I would LOVE to see a complete engine rebuild on it!

I would KILL for a Savage Octane. Thank you for this.

Defo want to see more of it I have an original savage xl nitro that I've converted to brushless with many upgrades including the center diff thicker tvps and its almost indestructible 😊

Awesome ride! Yes I want to see more of it!

Hey Kev, check the isolator block (sits between the carby and the engine) for cracks or gaps. When the engine gets hot it can cause an air leak which throws the carby out and it just won’t start, often the isolator blocks are plastic so it can warp not making it seal flush on the engine / carby… check the gasket while your at it too brother 👍🏻

They where prone to overheating problems, so its gonna be interesting to see what Kevin can get out of it. I loved the idea back then when it was new, but got disappointed because of all the problems with it. Anyway its cool to see if its going to be solved by Kevin.

Love the petroleum powered Savage.

I love this guy who makes my day every day.. Awesome

Those are the kind of videos from you that I absolutely love

just a heads up Kevin, Team losi also made a petrol version of bpth their LST and truggy as well, might be worth checking out if you are interested

Nice HPI Truck Kevin...im glad you got to drive it before the compression loss...great video as always man...Thank

Thank you for uploading today kev I had a really bad day until now!

What a legend!!! Kev, you are amazing!!! 💯💯💯

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 🙂

Man they look tough without the body!! I love that sand rail look!!

I always wanted one of these. But I’ll let kev have one and watch it. It’s a great substitute 👌🏻

This is awesome!!! Covering some of the "holy grail" R/C trucks lol. Another one I was always really interested in was Team Associated 's MGT 8.0. Could never afford it back in the day... 😢

I wish working on RC cars was as easy as you make it look!

I would have to say that the HPI Savage, in my opinion. One of the best, if not the best RC monster truck ever designed. The engine was reliable, truck took a beating. The only thing that was a problem were front and rear steering knuckles.

Loved my savage. Ran 6s converted for reliability my first real beast. Stood up to its name for sure.

Really like the way that sounds. Modern petrol all sound like chain saws

@kevin Talbot Hello from across the pond!! Dude, I have a savage xl with the 5.9 big block. I’ve had it since brand new, and it is by far my favorite rc. There is nothing that bashes like it could. The noise, smell, and of course the frustration of keeping a nitro tuned, is something I always loved. Just recently my one way bearing for starting it crapped out, so no more running the savage. I’ve been searching all over, but parts are so few. I loved this video, I always wanted the gas savage, but never committed to buying it. Love your videos man!! Cheers

Great video kev I love watching your channel.

Love the look of the tires and wheels!

Cool video, hope to see you continue with the HPI👍

Love that you love the gas and Nitro Kev. Would love for you to keep that Savage going ❤

Hey Kev! If you don't have an e maxx you should for sure get one. I have had one for a while, it's one of my favorite out if all my rc cars I think you should do a durability test on it

You can defo catch rc sparks and OVERTAKE him in the subscriber race and when you do it will be well deserved 😊

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!

we have fun watching you have fun kev. what ever makes you smile the biggest does the same for us. keep it up buddy

It looked fun, indeed. We want more :D

Please keep working On it! We need more nitros and gas out there!

Grat video Kev, back in the day i had a Thunder tiger EK4 it was such a torque monster and I couldn't keep the front wheels down the biggest issue I found with mine it would take half a tank to get to running and tuning temp. then you would get 3 mins of the last half a tank. i did have an idea of putting a plane tank on it ( but never bothered)

Can we get another rwd rustler bash video just like back in the day? I used to watch everyday got an rc and it eventually got expensive but glad to see you still at it

If i were you, i would clearance the top of those 3 cooling fins on the cylinder head so the ignition wire can come straight out, then by just using filler rod stack up some weld on the cooling fins that originally were beneath the wire to make up for the cooling, it will likely cool it better, the fins have more length on that side.

@@KevinTalbotTV naw, take it nice and easy while youre welding it only has to be strong enough to not break off, its not structural, and dab it with a wet rag after each bead. make sure its dry again before you run another. theres plenty of metal there to soak up that little bit of heat if you take your time on it. If you didnt do any cooling cycles or anything on it and just blasted it i would totally agree with you!

Great video I had a traxxas revo 3.3 standard gave it a perfect run in I know traxxas nitro engines have got worse but I had my nitro revo standard 3.3 and it blew away a hpi savage 28 but I like both brands it's how you break the engine in keep up the good work 👏
