- ➡️New HPI Savage XL Get It Here - alnk.to/bEhTh7W
This is 10+ year old fully stock HPI Savage XL K5.9. This has the largest Nitro engine ever put into an RTR HPI savage from the factory. It's also the largest stock nitro motor in any nitro RC other than the Associated MGT 8.0, the CEN Genesis CST and the Thunder Tiger EK4. It's rated at 3.75 HP and it got a damn 3-speed transmission. Lets destroy some electrics with this, I just hope I don't flip much, LOL. Support the Nitrogang through Patreon and get your name posted in the end of these videos.

Man I wish I could be there to tune that Savage XL to perfection. It will be so much faster and scarier when you give it a proper tune
Yep!
Word!
I have 3, 4.6’s 1, 5.9 soon to own 2 this summer is all about them hahaha I wanna know how to tune them 110%
I prefer my big block sound ! I broke all time embrayage clutch
I like electric but nitro will always be the past, present, and future of the hobby.
whats up bro! I like electrics too, I like all RC for what they are. But the Nitro is really the Epitome of RC for car guys and people who like auto sports in general. To the Nitrogang we appreciate an engine break-in as much as hitting those 3-speed passes. It's all good!
Three speed baby! I'm going to be yelling TWO SPEED BABY in my tmaxx, and my friend's mammoth!!!! Can't wait!
I sure did alot of yelling in this video, this savage is the loudest Nitro I own. The only louder nitro RC I've ever heard was the Thunder Tiger EK4, the same one as yours. Have you tried to start it yet?
@@hybrid32494 I literally just rebuilt the engine and will break in tomorrow.
You and nitro mike hands down, have the best channels on CZcams. Keeping nitro alive 👌👌🙏🏻
thanks man! Nitro Mike and I are good friend in real life too btw. Time to go to this RC track again with some giant gas RC and destroy more electrics, wish me luck!>
@@hybrid32494 haha no luck needed bro! Gas/nitro gang all the way, stay safe out there 🤘
I finally got it off my friend bro after bugging him for almost 10 years to sell me his xl 5.9and got it cheap for 350..hes only ran it like 8 times..im so pumped
hey bro! Let me welcome you to the 3-Speed Nitrogang baby!! LOL. Make sure to check the RX battery, my original one would not hold a charge well, needed to be replaced. Hit me up with any question ok. I did a couple other vids on this, mostly on adjusting the 3-speed trans, a whole job to do on these things, but highly important for it to shift correctly.
Man I wish that HPI still made the Savage XL because it is the most COOLEST Nitro RC car ever in my opinion. And the Associated MGT and Thunder Tiger EK4!!!😉
They just announced a new XL 🤩
friggin love the savage XL
Nice!! You really got your Savage xl running and shifting perfect. I got to do some tuning on mine to get it running that good again. Great video. Savage xl 5.9 is my favorite rc.
hey my dude!! Oh ye, the shifting part was not easy, I had to do trial and error adjustments of all the gears. I was writing down how many turns more on pieces of paper and reconciling my results, ahaha. Only problem with the 5.9 motor is it tends to self lean out when it's running good, you noticed those high speed passes it sounded lean, but I know for a fact, it's not lean. That's why I have to keep the idle a little high to warm it up at first cause it runs to rich in low RPM, and Lean in high RPM. Still adequate to destroy some electrics tho.
@@hybrid32494 Thanks!Thats a good idea writing down the adjustments on the transmission. I'll try that.Must of taken it apart ten times and got second to kick in I still have to play with 3rd. I use your videos a lot when I get stuck. You always are giving great advice.
The piston ornament cracks me up!!!! 😂😂😂
hey bro!! ahaha, yep! That piston is a good luck charm from T-Maxx Tony! Any nitro that wears it, will always be safe.
Gotta show the electrics who's king! Great to see RC enthusiasts enjoying the hobby bro!
whats ups bro! YUP! the savage is back. I must say it feels quite good racing modern electrics with a 10+ year old fully stock nitro Truck and doing pretty good. Plus I was easy on them if you noticed, didn't want to crush anybody in the turns.
@@hybrid32494 Yeah, you don't want to go savage on them ;)
Awesome RC and cool racing,that thing is a beast
I miss my SAVAGE XL yours was king 🤴 of the track for sure Savage gang 💯👍🏾👍🏾
hey my dude!! You know the Savage XL is King of the Savage lineup! You right about that. After the XL it was all down hill for HPI. Gang 4 Life yo!!! BTW, I'm attempting to break the 50 MPH speed barrier with this soon, so far I got a top speed of 46 MPH.
Lol I love it! You were soooo out of breathe when you ran out of gas.
haha, yes!! that's because for that lap I was running around the track to get better shots. Plus driving a 3-speed savage in that race environment is very nerve-wrecking. Since I have to be hitting high RPM at all times and top speeds to shift into 3rd. BTW there will be more on that 1/5 scale electric rampage in a future video. It needs to repect it's grandparents, cause the savage is for sure qualified to be the granddaddy RC of them all, lol..
You got that savage running smooth 👌
LMFAO! Nitro Boss: The Redcat knocked me off the track, HEY, YOU DON'T DISRESPECT YOUR GRANDPARENTS LIKE THAT!!!😂😂 3 speed got all them electrics scared n shortin circuits! Rcmaxgang loving the sand pass son!!👍👊👌💥💨💨💨
I knew you would love the sand runs! I will make sure to get more of them soon! I can't be doing ti too much because the parks cops always trying to keep the Nitrogang down! you know.
Two speed, three speed and hittin the v8!!! That’s how nitro gang does it 👍
BRO, there were alot of Speeds in this video, ahaha. The only thing missing was the CVT trans in my Prius, ahaha. Gotta tell you tho, it's not easy to get this savage to shift to third gear on such a short track, I had to tune the shift points religiously to get it to work well.
3 speed baby!!!!! Awesome video!
whats up my brother! This Savage really never lets me down, although it's a hungry beast and uses way more nitro fuel than all my other RCs. I am still o the journey to 50 MPH with it. So far I'm at a top speed of 46 right now. We need a damn Honda Civic 5 Speed in this savage bro.
Amazing truck i always wondering to have such a rc truck with 3 speeds
hey my dude! Yes, I love this thing, and it's 100% stock, and yet it's still amazing. Only this and the Kyosho Mad Force/Mad crusher have factory 3-speed setups. Some others models of the savage had it available, but not in an RTR model like this XL did.
The Savage is King 👑! I just got a T-Maxx, there lucky I wasn’t there!
hey brother! Yup, those electrics were Lucky I was alone. Because I brought the T-maxx 3.3 as backup, just in case. But I didn't even need it this time. Soon the T-maxx Gang will be back, and taking these suckers on.
Love that hpi xl, I have one too! Beast Mode baby. Nice video,love it! Off road a XL is a wheelie Monster on grass.
whats up my fellow Savage XL brother! I'm glad you wanted this video, the savage guys gotta stick together. You gotta admit the handling around an oval track on pavement was not terrible, considering this is a giant monster truck with zero mods or any kind. I truly love destroying electrics with a vintage nitro RC, especially when I can yell 3_SPEED BABY.
Great fun Bro 👊🏻👍🏻
I have one. Great MT, fast and strong. I hope parts become more available.
hey my dude! That's awesome! I was lucky to find this one used a couple years ago, the only issues I've had are bad rear turnbuckle links. I currently have zip ties around them so they don't pop off the ball cup, and yet I still destroyed the electrics and jumped on the sand with it, without problems. Nitrogang!>
Great stuff!! 😂👍
Yikes! I didn't know the savage was 3 speed! Very nice video.
hey my dude! Oh yes!! This was the only RTR model to ever come with a factory 3-speed. This engine is rated at 3.75 HP, so it pulls all day long! There was an optional 3-speed kit sold by HPI for the savage X 4.6 also btw. And I think somberly version of the Savage SS kit had 3-speeds.
Dunnow if this is read by you. But first of all great channel to keep nitro rc alive. To adjust the annoying 3 speed of savage, just turn in the 3. speed at maximum and change the 1-2 and 2-3 claw. That way u will be able to adjust 1-2 gear by slipping to 1-3 gear. Get that well adjustet and change back and adjust 3. speed. In fact that way you only need to remove transmission only 2 times for whole process ;)
Hey bro! Glad to have you here, and give some good advice on the 3-speed adjustment, your method will work, mine was mostly trial and error, but now I see your method is more logical. Anyway I still have this Savage, you just can't kill it! lOL>. And yes, I read most of my comments and respond...Nitrogang!!.
That is lot of fun!
You scared the others away🤣. Savage lives up to its name. Lol.
I wish I had somewhere to run like that. I have alot of property but that place seems Kool as hell
hey bro! Yes, I'm lucky to have this oval track nearby. It used to be an electric only Rc track where people raced Tamiya TT-01 style RCs, but then that club dies out (probably all had diff problems ) ahahah.
I got one I’ll never let it go after this video👍
So dope 🙌
3 speed sounds great
hey bro!! Thanks! I love it too! It took me a while to get it to shift correctly, there is a whole series on the transmission shift points alone on my channel. NItrogang!!!.
Lets see that corona free revo rip it up some more! Great videos bro. Keep up the great work
That 3 SPEED is awesome!!!!!!!
I hope you enjoyed the 3-SPEED BABY yelling in this video. LOL. I sure did. I gotta say it's not easy to get this thing to hit all 3 gears on that oval track and still have enough time to brake for a turn and not flip. This is a giant monster truck after all, you know.
@@hybrid32494 :)
I just pick one of those up an hip savage ck just like yours kinda just starting with these any advise.
long live the savage bro!!
i saw that sweet marqista too!! mine is still running gr8 !
getting parts together for my nitro savage "resto-mod"....
whats up my Nitrogang Grand Marquis Supporter! It's all about that classic body on frame RWD V8 4.6L baby!! The savage did good this day, nothing broken and only 2 tanks of fuel were used to destroy everybody there.
@@hybrid32494 koool bro!
i bought a old retired va state police car a couple montha ago...
found out shes pretty sick..as in needing lotsa love...got a low mileage donor car for the parts needed to get this car in top shape!
i have a couple vids about the car on my channel if ya like to check em out....
I just got one a few weeks ago but the button/underhead glowplug got stripped. I had to helicoil it due to unavailable parts. Eventually got some used ones a few days ago but shipping is killing me (US to the Philippines). Hope not to ruin anything in the future as parts for it are hard to come by.
Btw, this thing drinks a LOT of nitro! Really load too. Need to test my 3 speed baby!!!
hey my dude! THat's amazing that you have this truck all the way in the Philippines, I can imagine it's extremely rare in your country. Anyway, make sure not to over tighten the glow plug, once it's tight you only need at most 1/4 of a turn with the plug wrench. Plus did you use the brass gasket the plug comes with? that gasket does most of the sealing for you. Soon you need to be yelling 3-speed baby!! IF you record a short clip of that, I'll use it in a future video. Nitrogang is with you!.
good stuff man
Damn..those 2s rigs were smoking you! lol
Nice video 👍💯🏁🏎️🇨🇵
thanks man! Glad you enjoyed some vintage Nitro Action as much As I did. I pretty much destroyed new electrics with a discontinues 10+ year old nitro monster truck, lol.
@@hybrid32494 Yes, nitro for ever‼️🤘
Great Vid brother! I liked the Gap hoodie rc brother he seemed like a cool dude bro! I wish I had some RC tracks near me!!!Brother I need to come visit you with a baja a TMR engine and some SAND PADDLES!!! What a nice flat beach!!
hey my dude! Yup, the Arrma Gap Hoodie guy is a real Nitro Sure himself, I told him to break out his associated MGT next time. TO be honest with you, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to run RCs on that beach, I do it once in a while, but the parks cops are never far away. The Regulation in NYC is insane. God Forbid I fly a drone, I would probably get a fine.
I have that controller you can turn down the end points on brakes. That truck is great
hey brother!! Yes, I need to adjust the brakes some, I just put this radio in for this video, my original HPI TF-20U radio broke. But yes, you're 100% right. I can also adjust the brake cam itself, no big deal. Part of me likes the fierce brakes tho, not going to lie! ahaha.
WOW my friend what a super vide my like you have 👊😜👍
hey my dude!! thanks again! Im very happy with the performance of this old nitro truck, it did pretty good in the turns and I think it effectively terrorized the other drivers, hahah.
@@hybrid32494 👍😜👊
Is that 5.9 savage only one made with 3spd from factory?
hey my dude! The XL K5.9 as seen in this video came with the 3-speed from the factory. HPI also made an optional 3-speed trans that would drop right into a Savage X, check this link, this is the original upgrade part. pretty interesting. www.hpiracing.com/en/part/87218. I think years ago there was a Savage SS offered as a kit which came with a 3-speed. I've never seen one of those in real life though.
Man you need a pit crew for the savage can keep it kicking electrics butts. Hey I see the electrics were afraid of playing in the sand with you. 😁😁😁😁😁😁
NITRO GANG LIVES ON.
haha, yes! The savage Requites a damn Pit crew, it's so damn thirsty, lol. But once you warm it up that engine is great, and fully stock. I get the most joy out of destroying electrics with a Vintage Stock Nitro, to show them the reality of the Nitrogang! Next time I will do more sand jumping, BTW, half the electrics had destroyed diffs in this video, they cannot hang with this Savage. I didn't even have to break out the T-maxx for this run.
Three speed baby!!
hey my dude!! That's right!! This thing scared alot of electrics in the making of this video, ahaha. Nobody thought a nitro truck could have 3 speeds. Suckers!!!
Hey Hybrid! Great run with the Savage 5.9 truck! A buddy of mine has one but do all of the Savage 5.9s have three speeds in them because I don't remember his going into third gear??? Great video I wish you ran the Rovan buggy more there's always next time right!😉👍💪
hey bro! Thanks! Yes, all the XL K5.9 Models have 3-speeds. Chances are your buddy's one is stuck in only two gears and not shifting into one of the the 3 gears at all. I had to do alot of testing and tuning the trans to get mine to shift like that, tell him to watch the playlist on this truck here, you will see how I removed each clutch and reset them to factory specs.
@@hybrid32494 104! Bro I just wasn't sure I'll let him know about that Thanks!😉👍
@@terrykuehn2686 you got It dude!! I love Nitro questions, hahaha!!! NItrogang!
5:04 "You can't disrespect your Grandparents" LMAO. I have electrics and Nitro. The electrics are more powerful and they have their moments of fun. All that instant torque does have a draw back/ They break themselves more often. When they aren't stripping gears out, they're dead after 25 minutes. You also have to ensure the Lipos don't burn your house down. The plus side to electric is you don't have to drive to your hobby store to get more juice. The nitro goes all day long and because it's not so powerful, doesn't break as often. It's exciting because you have a real breathing engine. Not a boring whisper sound. Nitro proves that you don't always have to be the fastest to have fun. It's not surprising these days that electric is taking over. They're more powerful with instant gratification. These days there's no more motivation to develop a skill and get satisfaction over knowing YOU and your talent (outside of driving skills) are responsible for the performance of your car versus an engineer.
hey my fellow NitroGang brother! I also own a number of electrics, including vintage ones. As you say, it's a completely different thing, running any nitro/gas engine compared to electric is totally different. I must say I agree, the electrics tend to all blow diffs and almost always have driveline issues, actually about 75% of my electrics all have diff problems. Reality is, once you have diff problems they will never go away.
hybrid terrorizing the strip-diff minions haha. A nitro MT will never race brushless buggy. A nitro buggy would destroy a brushless MT. The smiles per mile goes hands down to the Savage - you check the passers by, they filming the nitro baby. 3 speed sounding sick bro
Hybrid if not raining cats and dogs makes me want to go drive my redcat racing vortex ss! Nothing like hearing a nitro engine run and scream!
hey brother!! Yes! I agree, I like the sounds and smoke of any nitro motor. The richer the better, too. I even like break-ins, lol.
@@hybrid32494 same here! Thats a sign you now you are in the nitro gang!
Oh ya 3spd nitro 2spd nitro just nitro it speed! Question losi lst2 nitro or savage 4.6 nitro? Couple deals same price which one for now?
HMM< good question! I would close the savage 4.6 because it's nearly bulletproof and easy to work on. The LST2 is a collectible also, but I rarely see any parts for them and LOSI in general is much rarer than the Savage Line of trucks, you know.
4 speed baby!!
hahah, Grand Maruqis is 4-SPeed with Overdrive, BABY!!! ahahaha. That's basically a 5 speed, lol.
How you liking that bones brew fuel?cant wait to try some
hey my dude! The fuel is pretty good for the money. I honestly cannot tell you it's significantly better or worse, but I've run it in many of my nitros and it performs adequate. Personally I like to run 20% nitro, but there is no cost advantage with lower nitro % when buying bones brew, you know. All the raw components are identical anyway in all nitro fuel, only variables are the oil and nitro content %.
@@hybrid32494 same here i stick with 20% ,i think its got klotz lube package in it ,if so im a big fan already!
Yeah I agree with you yes I agree hybrid
hey buddy!! thanks for watching!. Nitrogang!!.
YEAH they had to go charge them!!!
I think for a couple tanks of fuel they all went through about 3-4 sets of lipos. Plus I'm not counting all the damaged lipos I've seen go on fire on this track either.
Is it me or nitro slowly comming back in the hobby?
hey buddy! I'm hoping it's true, but honestly we can only judge based on RC brands selling nitros and their overall variety. It looks like more and more are dropping nitros and Gas from their lineups. It seems only Buggies which have been around for 10+ years are being made new. But that does not matter, Nitro will never die on this channel bro. I will keep racing electrics till I die.
@@hybrid32494 nice was planning on setting back up my hpi r40 for the past few months I've seen alot more nitro content on you tube i was wondering if it has something to do with novarossi closing
@@racingrivals8934 This could be a good video topic for me to talk about. What I think is going on in the New Nitro Scene. I doubt Novarossi has anything to do with it, most of the market is mainstream brands like Traxxas and competitors with RTRs anyway. The basic bashers like me would not run expensive Novarossi engines anyway, SO I don't feel upset over that. BTW, the R40 is dope!!! amazing 1/10 on-road RC, Nitrogang supports u bro!.
@@hybrid32494i see your point bashers wouldn't bash there expensive top of the line motor ....this could be a good video topic when you say so (is nitro dying in the rc community?)
Dare I say it???
3 speed BABYYYYYYYY
LOL, You said it! I sure was yelling alot in this video. My throat hurt after, lol. Yelling 3-SPEED baby is way more intense than yelling 2-SPEED BABY!.
Can you come to the UK And set up the British version of the Nitro gang I won't in!!! Lol. respect from the UK
Team nitro all day bro
I have two savages but they not stock and when you said that the savage is the fastest nitro truck I think I got the two they was talking about
@@maine1135 whats up my dude! Welcome to the channel and the Nitrogang!! Yup, this savage XL with the 3-speed is the fastest Nitro savage ever made, in fact it's faster than any nitro monster truck I can think of, or have ever come across at this point.
@@hybrid32494 were you located, were you be running at?
@@maine1135 this is in Staten Island NY, if you're in the area you're invited to come RC with me and the rest of the dudes. Usually on weekend I'll show up and destroy some electrics with a gas or Nitro RC, you know how it is!! lol.
@@hybrid32494 factz ill try to make that move once it get hot again im in va
One of the best rtr trucks ever made. I still can't find that darn 3 speed tho hmu if u have one I'm ready to buy
What you really would like to have is g the bullet 3 speed. I had mine done years ago when savage central was up I’m running. They posted how to do it by steps along with what other parts you needed to modify the stock 3 speed.
@@lighttravlerred3016 hey bro! Can you tell me what the bullet 3 speed is? Ive never heard of it. It's different than the typical Savage XL 3-speed??
@@hybrid32494 yea. And I can't even find the original 3 speed to modify lol
@@hybrid32494 man sorry I just saw this. I’m going to have to look it up and see if I can find all the steps to the process. Savage central closed down some years ago and closed out our accounts. So it was full of all kinds of info mods just a perfect place for hpi people. Basically it is your stock trans but you had to purchase 2 gears then shave off one end of the gear the place another gear and it takes away your reverse but it was called bullet proof 3spd. But again. Let me find it if it still out there somewhere on the net...
You should of leaned out the low speed needle for that snappy launch of the line im sure you would blew them off the water
hey bro! You got a good idea there, I do run my stuff relatively rich on both the HSN and LSN, you're right. To be honest with you, I do that to avoid too many wheelies, I want a nice clean launch with good hook up, you know. Plus even in this video when it seemed like I was full throttling it form the launch, I was not, I only gradually accelerate to avoid lifting the front up in the process. This is a monster truck after all, you know . Nitrogang!!
Where was this filmed it looks like staten island
hey buddy! Good guess! You got it! This is in midland beach Staten Island. There is a nice RC track as you can see. IF you're in the area I usually go on Saturdays around 12-3. In fact I'm getting my RCs ready right now, to destroy some electrics tomb. Wish me luck!! NItrogang!>
Right on brother !! Run over the electric rigs !!
hey bro!! That's right, a little sign of dominance and disrespect from he Savage to the Electrics. BTW, I drove this savage over myself a few times, did you see that video a while back.. That's how much power and suspension travel this thing has. Plus it's 100% stock. We don't need mods to beat electrics on nitro RCs, the 2-stoke takes care of it anyway.
@@hybrid32494 I have not seen that video!!! I will take a look !! I’ve don’t that myself with my Monster GT !! I miss that truck .. still have a lot of my old nitros !! And gas !! 👍🏼
i got rid of a savage MINT with the 3 speed tranny because the one way would slip i changed it over and over but this when they first came out so people were haters.
Whats top speed of the 3 speed trk? NITRO RULES!!! Is the idel to high?
hey bro! I have had this exact Savage speed tested to 46 MPH. I think I can break the 50 MPH barrier soon, that's my goal. I was running the idle a little higher than normal to make sure the motor does not bog down and shut off while I was around the electrics, lol. That would have been embarrassing.
I agree with you natural's good
thanks bro!
The electrics don’t want the smoke
It must be the PTSD from all the LIPO batteries going on fire - so they are afraid of smoke now, ahahahaha.
Savage is king, gas is the future!
You just had electrics for breakfast😂😂 👍👍💪💪
ahha!! YES! And a couple doughnuts, lol.
Show those electrics who’s boss!!! 😄
Love the shades. My favorite ever since I was in the joint. Do you know they are the main cheap ones well only ones lol and only cost like 2 bucks in the MN joints? I know it's almost worth the 2 years lol joking 🎤 wasn't worth em...but fun story. 3SPD deserves the name savage. .
Can the 3 speed fit in my savage X 4.6 ?
hey buddy! There were models of the Savage SS which came in a kit that had a 3-speed trans. I would say yes. IT should fit in the standard area just like the regular savage X. The question is, will you be able to find a 3-speed unit at this point. In terms of gear ratios for speed, just install a taller pinion, you will be fine. Nitrogang!>
@@hybrid32494 nice, I wanna try and see what’s available. I got my 2 speed shifting mint, but I’ve always wanted to try the 3 speed
HardCore💯💪🏿👊🏾
hey bro!! thanks man! Glad you can appreciate the Classic Savage XL K5.9. So many people tell me to put another motor in it, I just don't get it. This motor is a beast, why change it. IT's 3.75 HP as rated, really no other nitro motor out there that can match this which isn't a crazy price. Nitrgang!
@@hybrid32494 My buddy got 2 of them.. He said he'll sell one for $600. Is that a good price?
when i do a full speed brake , i will do a front flip on gravel. this car is amazing so loud and powerfull. but hard to maintain
whats up bro! Yes, the brakes on this truck are terrific, I would say the best out of any RCs I've ever driven. I can easily adjust them and lower the EPA through the radio, but I wanted to show the electrics the extreme savagery of this truck, lol. Nitrogang!.
@@hybrid32494 i bought a second hand, i need to change a lot of parts but when you succeed , that car is a monster!
I cant wait to see what happened with your revo os 18tz.
Lol 😂 “what you ran out of
Lipo juice ?”
Where are you located I want to join the nitro gang
hey my dude! This was recorded in Staten Island NY, you're more than welcome to come and RC with the NItrogang and the rest of the Rc guys! Let me know, I will make sure to be at this track. BTW, yesterday I was here again and a Lipo caught fire. Under normal circumstances I'd make fun of it, but I'm good friends with the owner of the RC an he's a good guy. But idid catch it on video, you will see it soon.
@@hybrid32494 yes I have 3 t-Max’s- one I converted to electric and the other two are still nitro - just picked up a HPI rs4 and a jato 3.3 for 30$ at a garage sale by me on Long Island - I want to get them back on the road again - do you recommend a good site I can get parts for these awesome nitros ?
Thanks in advance
you got smoked brother electric babyyyyy
You gotta tune that idle so nitro man Randy savage can line up on the start line with those electric man!
whats up homie!! I saw your design, it's hella cool!!! I love it!! This weekend I'll be destroying more electrics, this time with the "MAD MAX" Rampage. I'ma bit scared of it myself, ahaha. Gonna run so damn rich that they will be blinded by my exhaust smoke. YES!!!.
Den sidste er god😂❤️
One more season for the nitro gang here in the EU, after that it'll be dead thanks to some new regulations.
Nice knowing y'all and don't forget to stock up on fuel before February!
I didn't know anything about that thanks for highlighting it.I don't know if it's gonna affect the uk but from what I can gather you will need a licence to buy anything above 16% nitro after 02/02/21. If it gets too expensive theres always 1/5 scale 😀
@@danielwood4590 The two biggest problems are the following:
1. There's no system to get a license for hobby use yet, not even a single suggestion of how to handle it from the politicians' side. You can get one for your business but that doesn't allow you to use it for your private hobby.
2. They used a wrong volume/weight ratio in their calculations making their suggested 16% more of a 13%. This is really bad for race engines who can already struggle with heat on hot days running 25%, 13% will run way hotter.
You UK guys really dodged a bullet in that department thanks to brexit.
@@KacKLaPPeN23 that situation is really bad for the hobby and the politicians aren't going to care because it doesn't affect them and the fact that they got the calculations wrong just shows you that they are incompetent. I hope that you can get a way around this situation some how
3 SPEED NITRO POWER BABY🔥💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨
hey my dude! I had lots of fun with the Savage in this video, it's becoming one of my favorite monster trucks of all time. The brakes are awesome, the speeds are crazy and it's still fully stock. My fav thing is destroying electrics with a stock vintage nitro RC, they will never get it!! ahaha. NItrogang!.
I hear you. I Regretted getting rid of the 5.9 the first time……… I was able to get one for the low.………and I’m not letting it go again 😂
Your local RC oval is cool as hell. 👍🏾
Why do you not install the
Lrp z28
Or 32 engine?
They got a lot more horses dude
hey bro!, the LRP 32 is more powerful, that is true. If for whatever reason this k5.9 motor needs to be replaced that is what I will get. My main goal is to keep my RCs as close to STOCK as possible, otherwise I'd never be able to convey how great they truly were, in stock factory form, you know. This motor is rated at 3.75 HP btw.
Would you consider selling this??? I want one so bad but cannot find them New
hey my dude! Welcome to the channel, I see you recently subscribed. to be honest with you I have no need to sell this truck because it often comes out for video purposes in many of my videos. I rarely sell any of my nitros, because as you could see I love this stuff. BTW the XL will most likely never be made again, but you could get the Savage X 4.6. They are still sold brand new.
A Bro just waned to ask are you going to examine what happen to the traxxas revo survivor edition.
whats up bro! It's on my video list, don't worry! I just keep getting swamped by electrics trying to race my nitros constantly, will they never learn?? ahaha.
@@hybrid32494 So True LMAO!!!!! Thanks bro I really enjoy watching your vids!!!!
My savage x would kick its ass all day 🤘🏻
come join the Nitrogang and we will destroy a bunch of electrics with a pair of old savages! Nothing feels better than racing a stock old nitro and ripping modern electrics.
@@hybrid32494 that be fun haha but I’m in Canada doin 2speed action never know maybe one day ! Lovin the vids though bro and hey Rich was the man! Always remembered for sure
@@dustyhille3384 YUP man! 4 Scoops for Rich! I gotta put that line in some video, very few people know who he is from my viewer base, but it's worth it. Im gonna do 4 scoops of protein and rip some electrics with the Savage, LOL..
@@hybrid32494 haha ya the good days when bodybuilding was still just hangin on cause rich kept it real! Everyday you get up remember it’s a Goooood Fuckin Mornin!!! 🤘🏻 winter up here now but sunny days the savage 4.6 has some nasty power 👌🏻 I put a golden horizon pipe I found in a old rc shop wow the sound and the powaaaa! But fuck the sound is beautiful
@@hybrid32494 6 scoops of mass gainer!
Dude your freaking louder then nitro rc cars.
hey bro!! LOL, you got that right! Problem is I'm used to yelling by now because in person these nitros are super loud. When im editing video I lower the overall sound and keep my own voice loud, you know! Plus I'm always super excited when running any of my nitros, it's not like driving an electric, you know. Nitrogang bro!!.
Always supporting terrorism of electrics,nitrogang baby! 5 speeds baby!!! (Tmaxx+savage)
hey bro! that's right! The Nitrogang loves to terrorize electrics, that's out hobby. We also like to add up all the speeds in the nitros and shift through them all while yelling the number of speeds we have!! Electrics will never be able to do that, Unless its a vintage E-MAXX, then you can still yell 2-SPEED BABY.
You really need to tune that savage it's running way to rich
hey my dude! What's up! IDK if you knew this about the XL K5.9 models but they have an issue where they start out running VERY RICH and then tend to LEAN OUT towards the middle of the tank, and then run much leaner on their own as you keep running. This is the most AVERAGE tune in order to not over heat towards the end of the tank. There are mods called the (Savage Half Tank Lean Mod) you could do. But for my purposes this is the most average tune for the situation, you know.
what about the t maxx ?
hey my dude! I didn't even need the Tmaxx for this video, all the electrics ran out of lipo power, hahahaha. I came prepared this day and did all my running with just 2 tanks of fuel. NItrogang!!
Do you run a hpi rs4?
hey my dude!! I sure do! The nitrogang knows it's awesome vintage collectible RCs. In fact let me tell you the different types of RS4s I have. A modded OS 12 VC RS4-2. A Super Nitro RS4, fully stock. Also an original stock HPI RS4-3, aka RTR 3. I also have a couple HPI Nitro MTs, not an RS4, but they share alot of the same parts.
When will you bring one to the track?
@@michaelvesely Good question! Problem is the 1/10 scales are too low to the ground to run at that RC track, But I will attempt to bring the super nitro RS4. Its much taller and almost a 1/7 scale RC. But first I have to get it running. That one was donated to my channel, so it needs tons of work, clearly. lol.
Way lean on the top end 😊
Hey man! Yes, it does sound lean at the high RPM, you're correct. So these models have the "savage XL Half Tank Lean issue". It's a common trend on these, they run either super rich or lean to get the 3 speed to shift well. It's something to do with the fuel tank mounting and the fuel pickup being on the top. You're correct. I will say until the engine warms up it runs too rich, this is the only way I could compensate for that, you know.
Your idle is too high and your rear wheels need to be flipped around so the arrow direction are faced forward for better traction like the ones in the front. Good video of the savage dominating the e words.
hey my dude! WOW, thank you for pointing out the rear tires need to be flipped. I just noticed it after you comment! Good looking out! BTW I know my idle is high, I tend to run this truck a little high because it takes forever to warm up, and it will bog down and shut off until the engine is hot enough. I kept it higher than normal here because I could not embarrass myself in front of the E_Word Gang, you know. LOL.
@@hybrid32494 Yes the K5.9 suffers from running rich at idle and low speed then leans out at higher RPMS. The fuel passages in the K5.9 are too small to adequately feed the combustion chamber the right way. You will notice it even more after the tank passes mid tank when the fuel head is reduced and the engine has a hard time sucking in the fuel. This is the reason some do "mid tank mod" on the XLs. Safe bashing.
Lololol this is funny af lol
I need a new 18tz vid man
OMG, I keep forgetting that, unbelievable. It must be all the Nitro and Gas Fumes I keep having to smell. Running Rich like the EX-President Donald Trump comes with some unwanted side effects, forgetting to repair OS Engines, LOL. NItrogang!>
@@hybrid32494 but the real question is when is the vid coming?
I love the nitro stuff! Not enough nitro tubers on this site. Subbed up. Just wish you'd drift away from the shitty Traxxas engines. I'm LOVING my Kyoshos, my Associateds, my OS engines.
I'd love to run with ya some day~
Hey bro, welcome to the NitroGang channel. Thanks for the sub, I'm glad to have you here. The reason I like to run stock is so that I can show even how good a basic traxxas engine is, also I'm a cheap SOB bro. Watch this video and you will see me taking on electrics with a stock t-maxx, tell me what you think. czcams.com/video/ERHsGOS2wkk/video.html
@@hybrid32494 I have been running nitro since 2003, I've got engines in flying model aircraft that are 50, 60 years old that run fine, hell I'm still using the second engine I ever bought well over a decade later! The TRX3.3 in my Slayer lasted **one** gallon. That engine is an unmitigated pile of shit.
I got my Slayer for ~250 because the engine was blown. Replaced the shitty stock rod that was half a tank from snapping like a twig with Davis Diesel's upgraded rod, replaced the toasted top end with OEM, engine lasted a gallon before it blew up again. In that time it blew the clutch *twice in two tanks*, it never once held a tune for more than 10 minutes at a time, it was often fussy to start, it ate glow plugs like candy and fuel economy was trash.
Replaced the engine with the Dynamite 19T 5-port and my engine problems disappeared overnight, but then I had a brake pad shart out its friction lining, had a transmission randomly turn into a maraca for no good reason, I had a shock cap somehow pop off without stripping any threads, steering issues started cropping up. The stock tires on the truck were so awful they nearly broke my better half's shin and anything else I put on the truck got shredded. And atop all of that, when it was working, It handled like a 1972 Cadillac Eldorado driven by a drunken hillbilly.
The truck is now in my RC boneyard getting parts ripped off of it for other uses because I'm sick and tired of having to replace something on it every single time I drive it. Might put the transmission in a Toyan powered Globe Liner project, the engine/nice M2C clutch are in my parts bin, the exhaust...I had been running the stock pipe from my first NTC3...has found itself back onto another NTC3 I'm building for my local oval track, the receiver, on-board glow driver have found new homes in some of my airplanes as well as the servos, the tires are now an alternate option for my SC10GT.
I like being able to take a 500cc pit bottle out there, run the whole thing through the car in one continuous shot, and not have to worry about breaking down or flaming out or having to touch the carb. All of my other nitros can do that, but the Slayer couldn't.
You should look into getting a Kyosho Mad Crusher GP and a Kyosho Scorpion XXL. The KE-25 engine is an absolute dreamboat(I built my Scorp as a kit using a second KE-25 pulled from a buddy's FO-XX). Super reliable, good power, starts right up, takes a beating and just doesn't give a shit. And both vehicles are super fun to drive; the Mad Crusher is a 1/8 live axle monster truck with a 3-speed transmission that weighs about the same as a T-Maxx and the Scorpion XXL is a super scale 1/7 dune buggy that handles like a dream.
My Scorp's also FPV'd; got footage of...well actually I have footage of all of my nitros on my channel if you wanna have a look.

@@TestECull I will check your channel out for sure! I support my fellow Nitro Brothers! BTW, you read my mind, I have been looking to get the Kyosho Mad Crusher for a while now, It's on backorder everywhere, but you can count on it being my next new RTR truck you will see on my channel when it's back in stock.
@@hybrid32494 I've had mine for a year or two. It's boss. Even crawls if you have an inkling. The only thing it's missing is reverse! Mine even gives me one pull starts on the regular.
Sorry for the THIRD comment but all the people watching are all watching you Hpi Savage XL LOL😂
ahah, YES! that's exactly what I like to think! ahah. I mean just the noise and smoke is exciting enough, watching electrics you're always expecting more, because they need to compensate for the "COOLNESS FACTOR"
@@hybrid32494 :)
yo should make a discord server for the nitro GANG!! if u need to i can make you one im good at them!
hey bro! I may be a Prius Driving 3-Speed Shifting Nitro Guru, but I have no idea what a discord is, lol. I stick to the basics in life, high MPGS, 2-stokes, lifting weights and Fast food, LOL! I will look into it, thank you for the suggestion. NItrogang!! Gotta diversify, you know.
@@hybrid32494 yes haha im 15 im trying to do an exercise to get a six pack in the future lol, discord is where u can talk and sstuff in a server with the people u invite, Bless
Hai friend
hey buddy! what's up!! Thanks for watching!. Nitrogang!!.
Why have a wheelie bar if it doesn’t wheelie?
It does wheelie, but I Don't need to wheelie in a race where I'm the only giant monster truck racing against electrics designed to go fast. I need a good clean launch, with good handling down the straight. I never fully peg the throttle from the start, I let the truck hook up and let it shift properly. The 3-Speed is funner than a basic wheelie, which any hobby grade RC can do at some point.
@@hybrid32494 sorry, not “can’t” but “doesn’t.” My erevo does standing backflips but I don’t run a wheelie bar on it when I’m not doing wheelies.
I’ll never ever sell my savage x 4.6 it’s way too nice
🎃
Was this in BK or Staten Island
whats up bro! This is in Staten Island, it's right by the beach called "MIDLAND BEACH".
A buddy of mine told me you were looking to buy a savage X. I know a guy in my Savage group wanting to sell one. I can get you connected if you are interested.
hey bro! Yes! I'm a damn Nitro RC addict, lol! I'm always looking for nitro RCs. Its a matter of how much he wants, usually people want crazy money for them these days. Tell him I drive A Prius for a reason, I'm a cheap SOB. I only paid 100 for the one in this video btw.
@@hybrid32494 I sent Bryan 2 trucks to show you.
