Harthill Savage Bashing - BMX Track Jumps - SavFlow Fuel System

[flobaththegr8]

nice bit of starting kit =] .i've the the savage 3.5 currently in peices becasue the engine is being a crafty fella and not wanting to start i think i;ve cleaned it out but not 100% sure any tips on how to get the perfect start every time?

[jugalo1994]

revo quite a bit better

[gogo12351]

Like the cars mate hmmm i need to get mine started

[xDjAsOnF]

cool fuel pump system

[nath0987]

nice driving. i subbed! are those stock springs or standard savage?

[chopper6331]

hi there. could someone tell me where i can buy the savflow header tank because it is not on ebay uk. pleas help as my hpi savage xl really needs it

[avacreativemedia]

Have you checked your clutch springs ? To little tension (weak springs) allows them to fly outward at low RPM and engage to clutch bell walls to early. I once had the same issue, just replace them and try again. Hope this helps.

[NirvanaRox4Eva]

i need help on idle speeds, i turn the idle screw down, the wheels slow down, but still spin, i keep turning then the rpm is so low it cuts out, is idle meant to be the wheels turn, but not to fast? or have i a problem? thanks

[highroller284]

can some one point me in the direction of this ian! i cant find him on ebay . thanks

[OSSEOslayerJR]

i woulda been done fueling 15 minutes ago

[oxymoron2727]

If there was every a professional basher, it would be you. XD

[2tallbrandon]

i think the girl is better then you mate! : )

[PeeBeMe]

nice !

[Iosis6]

Nice vid. I am looking to get into Nitro R/C and have never been satisfied with getting beginner models and I have been looking into the Savage XL mainly because of its size and the Savages durability. You seem be good with these and I was wondering if after I buy the truck itself is there anything else you would recommend buying afterwards? I am just trying to make sure I don't get hit with any extra expenses that I don't know about besides fuel, broken parts, and batteries for the receiver.

[ABrick2009]

lol i just did the exact same thing like 4 days ago when you popped your tie rod end off! My savage 4.6 has got 8 HARD gallons through and that and the crappy stock steering servo is the only damage that it has recieved! (aside from body hehe)

[OSSEOslayerJR]

jesus you took 5 minutes to fill it up and start it it takes me 1

[erevofreak96]

shes a better driver then him! lol awesome vid

[TheKazior96]

Hi what engine is in this model as the drive a girl .please reply GREET ;]];]:)

[njaln]

ok ive check that out!!! :-P thanx

[guitarhero3rox97]

is that even onboard video? what the hell?

[ClearGhost]

Hi. Whats the model number of the pump panel system? Thanks

[njaln]

ok, it starts, idles and it dosent stop at high speed, could it be the low speed needle?

[njaln]

ive got an savage xss, and when i start it up and speed, it shuts off!! anyone got a clue?? please thanx!! :-)

[avacreativemedia]

Could be many things but ....Maybe check, your tuning ? Air leaks around carb ? Need a bit more info really before i can input. Does it shut off at high revs? Does it not start ? Does it not idle ....???

[guitarhero3rox97]

@njaln clutch spring is broken

[TheRobertB]

@njaln

Could be slipper clutch, very cheap repair. I had the exact same problem yesterday and got it repaired for today. I am 90% sure thats what it is.

[SLASHINANDBASHIN]

i normally hate nitro but today i went out with my firestorm and used 11 litres of feul ran all day try doing that with electric none stop

[amgf360]

hi man

do you recommened this truck????

is it durable? how much does it go?

and how do i solve the fuel tank problem?

[avacreativemedia]

Hi there. I do like the savage from HPI, its a tough little fella !. That s why i have gone the direction of the Savage Flux this year. I am moving to Brushless, Alas my fun with nitro is now over, and new technology takes over.

Also gone 2.4ghz - which i know i'm a bit late but is way better for glitch free operation. - Currently Converting the new Savage flux's to super tough Flux XL's. All fun !

[avacreativemedia]

UPDATE - Dont do the Flux XL Upgrade -..from 1offRC in the states. - It does not do any favors for the Fluxs handling and Fun wheelies. - Just slows it down, makes it diffcult to sort out a shell, and its lost all that Real Quirky Fun that Straight Stock flux gives you.

[Hiervolant]

@avacreativemedia I have the 1offrc flux XL ... with 3s, i can almost do standing tripple backflip ... (sort out a shell) : take 2 min to drill 4 holes ?... (- Just slows it down - and its lost all that Real Quirky Fun that Straight Stock flux gives you): you really think that 10 onz can slow down that truck ??? really .... Sometimes i do backflip at 40mp/h if i pull trigger too fast...

And BTW if you change the frame to XL you need to change the axles to Xl too...

[DrCaveSquirrel]

get it and you dont need all the junk he has

[092601abc]

@amgf360 the savage xl 5.9 engine have overheating problems savage 4.6 is good

[MadOzZy]

i bought the sav flow from ian on ebay.... it works great.... Ive bought loads of stuff from him now and all the items have come in 2 days ! Highly reccomend

[avacreativemedia]

Hi - Ian's been great on supplying stuff to me for the past year. ! Glad to hear your pleased anyway.

[MadOzZy]

i recommend the savage apart from the diffs are very weak... i bought 2 brand new solid metal diffs from ian and 5 tanks fuels later the rear diff is fucked... ian wont replace diffs which is fair enough if id had them a while, but ive had these for 3 weeks and done NOTHING other than go up and down our street and a carpark for 2 sundays.... he never said theres no warranty on the diffs on his ebay site but did offer to have them back, strip them and replace any broken parts

[Hiervolant]

@MadOzZy Lol ... did you realize all the savage on video use low profile tire, witch are not made for bashing ??? there are 2 reason to break Diff : 1) use low profile tire for bashing ... like you did and 2) use wrong WT shock oil ... for the stock shock, never use more then 25 WT oil and for Big bore never use more then 40WT. Dont forget that HPI engeneer are not idiot and that they use 10WT oil in their official Savage XL bashing videos...

[RClife24]

thanks for this vid dude i just made my own little version of the savflow system il have a video up on youtube very soon.

[popcornreviews]

What sort of run time are you getting with that extra mini tank?

[avacreativemedia]

Get about an extra 5 mins if you empty the header tank- but i never run down the header tank (or try not too) . The idea is to keep the header topped up to keep the thing running even and consistent. Handy if you flip the truck on its back 50 yards out!

[RClife24]

@jonasn00ben dude just look around youtube and find out man.

in my opinion, it frekin rocks!

the most durable truck ive had!

i think its great.

just look for yourself.

[RClife24]

so when that "half tank lean" thing happens it damages the engine horribly or just affects the proformance??

[avacreativemedia]

Hi - it makes the engine run hotter and hotter, less lubrication as more air content in the Air and Fuel mix. My savs tend to start to splutter and can start to rise in RPM. If not kept in check then you shorten the life of the engine big style.

So one idea is to run the engine slightly rich or boggy for the first half then it kinda evens out later half of tank.

Harder to manage this solution than you think as i found out - where as this little tank just fixes the problem nicely !.

[avacreativemedia]

I mean less fuel in the mix due to lower back pressure - hence more air to fuel ratio - Got there !

[RClife24]

@avacreativemedia thanks, coulsd you tell me the oz of the header tank you used?

thanks cuz i noticed after the fuel reaches half

it runs leener.

please i would realy appriciate it.

thanks.

[rotostart2]

what is a hedder tank and what dose it do? :S

[avacreativemedia]

Hi there - A header tank is a method of sustaining a smooth supply of fuel to a nitro engine. Used on RC helicopters for a while now. The savage is known for a "Half tank Lean" Problem. The surface area of the fuel in the tank greatly reduces as it hits that lip or "hump" thats sits over the Side of the chassis. When the fuel surface area reduces so does the applied pressure per/cm2 hence the fuel starts to slow slightly to the carb, changing your mixture to lean.

[rotostart2]

do u think you could do a quick vid on how to install 1 plz

[avacreativemedia]

Plus it works a treat when your trucks upside down, has a clunk weight tube inside the tank that follows the fuel. (just like in a heli or RC Plane etc.) So now you don't have to "leg it" Quite so fast to right your truck. ( in fact it will run for about 2mins upside down!). You can buy the SavFlow Kit from Ian's RC - Ebay UK - Search for SavFlow.

[rotostart2]

oh ryt now i understand thanks alot 4 that i'll try it on my savage xl

[WalesHighBikers]

my local bmx track ;) nice vid mate!!!!

[avacreativemedia]

Thanks ! - great track Some tricky little Jumps - Jumping from track to track with the trucks was good fun !!

[avacreativemedia]

Thanks for the good feedback !!! I like the IRC kit on your sav. Just got my self one of those kits but with IRC Big bore shocks. Prob appear in next times video - if we make another !. :-)

[dabombcreator]

Yea the IRC kit and LST shocks are nice but VERY heavy, iv just ordered the HPI alum big bores and im selling the IRC kit and shocks, hard ano threaded bodies, TiNi shafts etc
