Back when I used to work for a local LHS it was a common issue - the savage 2-speed was notorious for shifting way too early at the factory setting, basically leaving you with second gear all the time, better to wind the screw in 2 turns and see...... in the vid, was going to comment on the dodgy HPI plastic tuned pipe and then saw the result 😂 as you probably know Kev, The only supercharger that works on a two-stroke is a good tuned pipe! Keep Nitro Alive! It offends the sheep!

@End Government Extremism I get that, I would often rather fly under the radar, but I also dig the sound and smell of running a nitro buggy, plus, out here in the corporate dictatorship of Australia we have a lot of wide open space and very few people. Fewer by the day at the moment.....💉💉💉

I always had issues with the 2 speed trans on mine as well, the 3 speed trans upgrade fixed that problem and made it faster as well

weird feeling that a new Kevin Talbot video just appeared 4 minutes ago

I have a Savage, too. I love the sound and the smell of Nitro RC cars. They Rock 😅🤘

This is why i love my tnx 5.2r. Never had any Problems with the gearbox, engines are absolutly powerfull and you can start it with a drill. Still after 20 Years this thing runs great

Crazy thing is, there used to be a Nitro version of the Tonka/Hasbro ricochet! Hasbro came out with two Nitro trucks years ago and one of them was a Ricochet that runs either way up. Really rare now but search Nitro ricochet on here and prepare to say WTF!!!? (in a good way)

love your vids, please dont stop the great work, i look forward to each and every one of your videos... PS which would you get an Xmaxx or UDR?

Great job Kev! Running great!!

Love your latest videos, so nice that your showing more nitro and petrol cars.

that savage working so smooth now !! So cool !

She's running great! 2 spd is awesome, love it when it drops into high gear. Always rewarding when it all comes together. Man can you wheel the savage with authority. Can't wait for more. We should send you a ERCM (extreme rc mods) pipe for her. Hand made here in Alberta Canada, Stainless steel, skookum and legitimate performance adder. Engine is so much happier when running it.

Wow! Good job on the paint!

It's always great having nitro rigs around, I'm generally half way through a battery pack by the time they get running. Defo worth the effort though!

I love the Chevy cars even the classic 👌

Really love seeing the Nitro fun, especially when they are running well. The smell and sounds are just not the same with electrics, and with a fresh bottle of fuel you have basically infinite runtime unlike waiting for batteries to charge. Though you do have more cleanup afterwards if you want them to last. Since you have both it'd be awesome to see a side by side with the Traxxas Revo 3.3 and your thoughts on both of them.

Hey Kevin! I think you should really try to find a losi muggy! It’s really good and tough, and with the upgraded diffs, it can take 8s pretty easily, but as a nitro it’s an absolute blast

Hey kev it definitely needs a metal exhaust like the one I've got on my savage x. Keep up the good work..👌

We're not gonna hurt that body...2min later...Skatepark!!! :D Good job on it, looks really good.

I loved my HPI Savage XS Flux. Great truck was like a mini Maxx for durability.

I put the same shell on my traxxas tmaxx, about 18 years ago, kev is right nitro is such a pain but brilliant when working

loving the nitro vids

More nitro/gas action please 😄👍⛽️

Question: If it was stuck in gear would you rather have it be in first or second?

Your "booom" transitions are getting better👌

Kev the el Camino idea absolute mad man ,it’s so good I love seeing the end product and nice idea for the chrome , like the red on it aswell.

Whatever problems it has im sure kev can fix them

Love your channel brother!!!

Love the way that El Camino body turned out! Glad you cut out room for the engine cage rather than ditching it. I think it looks better with the cage showing, like a full size monster truck.

looks really awsome kev 👍👍✌

The colors you chose for the body match my 70 Chevelle Ss. Haha. Love it!!

So cool is this nitro savage. You've got the same pb with resin pipe as everybody. Melting it at the entry or breaking the pressure nipple...

Gotta love a good running nitro, especially the runtime. 30 minutes is just getting warmed up when it comes to nitro, 30 minutes you are changing out batteries in an electric.

Id love to see more. EK4 in the house

That's more like it, nice to see your old posse back, only one missing is Stempie.

2:28 the pitch of the chika-chika matches the music :)

You’re the reason my two year old yells tumble rumble 🤣

i like my nitro savage X it runs great now shifts and i put a lot of new accessories on it including the exhaust and spur gear now i think i will change the body style. great video can’t wait for mor great job Kevin.

I had the very first Tmax and that dude always shifted. Had a lot of fun with it

Get a tuned exhaust for it. When tuning you should always see smoke but not to much smoke it's a fine line to get it right, you will get it right 1 day, I still have my savage 25 the first 1 that was released awesome fun they are

Kevin, I just have to thank you for the years of good times and how fun it's been watching zince the start. I remember the day the video came out of you rubning over stuff. The videos are only getting better and better.

Love ur videos❤❤❤ u are best youtuber

That body looks sick man. Good job

If it's a headache for Kev, it's way too much of a hassle for me. Love gas, but I'll stick with electric. Appreciate that you show all the work that goes into it.

Hey absolutely love the videos, you inspired me to get back into it after years and have bought a Wpl D12, going to make a top speed machine 😂 if you can call 45+ fast and as your not new to speed runs see if you fancy a race? Cheers Rich.

Hi Kev loving the vids

Some love from india❤

Watching you run Nitro cars shows very clearly how much throttle control you use. It can be heard clearly. It’s impossible to pick up with the electric RCs. Very educational

Kev is single handedly causing nitro rc sales to spike.

Hey Kevin! Just got a TRX-4 high trail and was wondering what the first thing I should do to it to make it crawl better would be. Any suggestions?

theres just something so nostalgic about a Savage with an El Camino body. Takes me back to 2005

Classic savage look with the elcamino body, looks really nice! Have you ever tryde the old Kyosho giga crusher with dual engines?

Only just realised the park you're at, Biked through it many times too lol Knew the second park right away

Wow❤❤ car body better than before 😮

Awesome paint job on the El Camino! Glad you got that 2 speed shifting. How’s the Savage XL 5.9 coming along?

awesome video kev mate as always i love the savages but not theses ones lol i cant wait to start my channel and ill be doing mainly nitro as i am a big nitro fan always have been and always will be :) 3 speed baby

Hay Kev, I have just gotten an Arrma Vortex 3s and had a crash so looking to upgrade the diff housing and suspension arms. What do you think is the best to use. I am in Australia so international shipping needed or local supplier

Alot of people give chev the credit for inventing the car ute style but ford came out with it a couple years earlier with the ford Ranchero and before that they had the Australian prefect ute

5:50 it looks like kev is doing a burnout because of the nitros smoke 😂
