Doesn't explain some of the major issues many people have with theirs being very tempermental, Chris from Hemistorm did a video showing 3 of these, 2 had the same problems and only one was running for a while.
Jack Manson What the hell?!?!? Where does that even relate to my comment? Besides, you're wrong, even big displacement engines can rev high, the longer the stroke the lower the max rpm...
Deleteknop or a losi xxl 2, its a better engine than the hpi, because it has the size of a nitro motor, exact the same prestations and drives much longer on a fuel tank than a nitro, losi thid not for nothing long experience about the 5cc great gas engine:-)
It wouldn't look anything like a vorza. The motor, gas tank and the exhaust would be way to large to fit under a vorza body.. plus it would flip very easy because of high center of gravity and the narrow wheelbase.. they would need to scale it up. Maybe 1/7 or 1/6.5.
Rodrigo argudo You should do like I do, convert it to eletric. My savage xl octane run faster ( double speed) with lipo 4s. I put my gasoline engine to sleep! kkk
Engine sucks 1000 waste time of money buy a devo they are faster and have better motors. This gasser is shit. And harder to tune then a nitro ughh I have one and can't even break it in it wont start on factory settings. Spend ur money on a well made rc not. A hpi tirde
This is by far one of the best nitro trucks on the market.. mine starts and goes in seconds, never ever issues compared to other brands
not a nitro....
Where is the big cooling fan and the black gas tank that was mention in your original article on the octane?

The smaller the engine, the higher the RPM and the more temperamental. I'll stick with the 23cc+ models.

***** I'm watching vids about the savage octane, so much people have problems with the savage octane, hpi baja for me!

Love to see hpi make a vorza with that same engine

yeah i know.. would be nice if they had a 5th scale like a d8
Ya how hard can it be to get the engine to run??? fuel, air, spark....
I have A lot issues with hpi octane now doesn't work I think is Piece of junk
Because HPI built yet another vehicle that you get to play with for 5 minutes and work on for 4 hours. It's the HPI Cycle. Get used to it.

ABMNS PRODUCTION yes they are junk!!! Way over priced!!!

No info on flooded engine 👎🏽
