    Is anyone happy with their truck?

    I've owned or built cars, planes, and helicopters that have operated as intended, without problems, from maiden. If I want a project, I'll buy a kit. As far as gas engines are concerned, they are not difficult. In most cases you can leave the needles at factory settings for the first gallon, and...

    Is anyone happy with their truck?

    Well I'm not sure this counts, but I'm very happy now. Shortly after I rearranged my electronics box, I started having trouble with my Octane. It would run for about 5 minutes, sometimes less, sometimes more, then just die. I originally thought this was because of the plug lead running over the...

    Big Air Savage XL K5.9

    Looks like so much fun. Wish I lived a bit closer. Do you know how many degrees your ramp is because that's perfect? Cool video, thank for posting it. Going to the hardware store this morning for wood... and plywood :)

    Octane battery box modification

    Thanks Martin, I just rearranged my box similar to yours. Batteries on top... smacks forehead. Awesome!!! And the pic above, I never thought about using a cable sleeve on my plug wire. I did use heat shrink on my steering servo line (learned that lesson the hard way), but there are some very...

    Anyone fly?

    I haven't flown Helis in a while, but this is an Align 600E Conversion to a Helibug gasser (Zenoah G230 with WB 813 carb). Kind of a long video and the camera my son was using was garbage... but that's what the scroll bar is for I guess. Mellow Music, for an early evening session. I don't do 3D...

    Savage Flux XS Bash

    That was on a 5amp 2S LiPo. This little truck is what made me decide to buy the Octane. I couldn't believe how much abuse it took. I'm a plank guy, and my first large scale car purchase was a Redcat Rampage XB. I have yet to get a full tank of gas out my XB without stopping to fix something or...

    Putting an Octane engine into a Savage 25

    You have great oil taste sir!!! I've used Royal Purple in every engine I fly or drive. I admit I haven't tried most of the other oils out there, but I believe in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," in this case anyway. I think you'll find many people out there that are very satisfied with this...

    Anyone fly?

    Reactor Bipe. I still have this plane and it's one of my favorite flyers. Stuffed a DLE 20 into a .40/.60 plane. Flies on rails. Just had to support the gear, keep it from flexing so much, because I kept breaking props on the landing.

    Putting an Octane engine into a Savage 25

    FWIW, I haven't had any issues at all with my octane engine. Getting close to a gallon through at this point. I only had to richen it a few "clicks" (1/27th of a turn per click) just after "break in" because it would stall in the transition from the low to the high needle, so I haven't found it...

    Playing in the in the Arizona Dirt ....and heat.

    My son and I at a future subdivision, playing in the dirt and rocks. We ran it out of gas. This video is a few weeks old, and we were still breaking it in, but I thought I'd upload it today. Still haven't got the gears shifting the way I want. But they shift better now than they do in this video.

    hpi octane

    Hi Patrick, I'm not sure I quite understand the problem. Can you post a video, or a link to a video? That might help.

    Is anyone happy with their truck?

    10 tanks through, so far, and in general, I'm happy. Am I happy about everything? No, but there are many things I that I am happy about. It started in five pulls right out of the box (after a needle setting check). I wasn't expecting that after all the reading I've done about starting issues...
