  • Took the Savage XL 5.9 out for a little bash to a local forest. Great weather, nitro RC’s, can’t get any better than that! Car preformed great, using 25% OptiFuel RTR fuel, it’s such a blast to drive! It’s the 2024 version, had about 20 tanks through it and it runs brilliant, holds the tune well and soaks up all of the jumps with ease. I’m so glad HPI brought the Savage XL back, hopefully they release some more awesome stuff in the future! Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed the video.

    Is the engine stock on this video and what plug do you run it if it is the stock engine?

    • @NitroRC96
      @NitroRC96  2 місяці тому +1

      Yes fully stock engine and exhaust, I did change the plug to a medium glow plug, HPI B5. Runs great!

    What are your carb settings? I don't think factory are even close to right. I took mine apart when I bought it and did the diffs, transmission, and servos. Having a hard time keeping it running!

      @@hellraiser7935 For me out of the box the low speed needle was set too lean, had to richen it during break-in. What issues are you having? I have mine set slightly rich, if I remember rightly the low speed needle is flush with the carb and the high speed is about 3/4 of a full turn from the stock settings. Factory basic settings always need adjustment in my opinion, they’re just a safe, rich setting to get it run in and started then adjust to your liking.
      Check your clutch, do your wheels spin a lot at idle if you lift the truck off the ground? One of my clutch springs snapped literally 6 tanks in, during break in. I never thought it would be that at the time and thought it was a tune issue. It always kept cutting out when I let go of the throttle, braked or came to a stop as the clutch dragged due to a snapped spring putting load on the engine at idle or braking.
      You did good taking it apart, I didn’t. Should have done it myself. Had quite a few screws come loose during my time driving it!
