@@philipsalamone8541 They're all good engines, but avoid the K5.9 as it's hard to find parts and this engine is quite finicky to tune... LRP .32 is an excellent choice.
The truck is amazing, the f5.9 is a little tricky to get it tuned but you’ll be fine. Most parts are the same part number as the old savage so you’re good. The only thing I recommend you to do is to shim the transmission and you will be good. Check out the video I posted yesterday about my XLGT6, its a solid truck !
I was tuning while filming, if you notice at the beginning of the video the engine is bogging and the idle is a little high but look closely at minute 2:00 the idle is on point and the lsn is perfect, I already sold that engine anyways.
Cool! Lose the psychedelic background music and would be even better. Only electric videos need music 😅
Wow the 5.9 with the 3 speed is rocking 💪🛠️👊
Thank you !! 💪🏻💪🏻
Dope run here😎👊🏿 seriously good stuff
What are his shocks tho they lol might fine I must say
Thanks man, those are integy
Sweet! I'm rebuilding an old XL, still have the K5.9 on it, but it's doing good!
Very nice !! That K5.9 is really solid.
So which do you recommend
K5.9
F5.9
Lrp.32
Or big red?

Sounds good! Did you use the pull start version on the lrp?
Thanks!
@@philipsalamone8541 yeah, it came with pull start, but I replaced the backplate, with rotostarter. The SH28 one fits in nicely
Shifting is on point!
Thank you sir !! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Stupendo magnifico💯❤️
Thanks !
Awsesome....perfect shifting! Wondring what body you've got on ur xl...the yellow?? Bg thanks
Thank you !! That's the 1979 Ford F150 body, the paint is Tamiya (Yellow)

Nice...what shocks are u running
What your second third gear set at how many turns
I tune it by ear. I wouldn't know man, sorry
Shifting is good, could be a bit longer although ( from 2nd to 3rd )
Thanks !
I'm considering buying the new savage
Are there any parts for this car?
Do you recommend changing the engine? Thanks

I've already seen a great channel. I follow you 🫡
@@salamakara1845 Thank you !!
@@NitroRcDr Mine was pretty loose, had to shim bottom, middle and upper shaft lol. Does the f5.9 comes with mid-range adjustment on the carb?
@@CtrlAltFumble Oh wow. The F5.9 only has hsn and lsn
Chique bolha 🛻💥🙄🥰💪🏼👍🏻
Idling way too high! You can hear it about to bog/flood out when you hit the trigger from a stop! Retune it bro!
