Savage XL Octane & the Losi XXL 2 WORTH IT??
Hey guys,
I've read through posts and watched videos on these trucks and what I see isn't all that good. The motors in each truck seem to have issues, and that's even after the 10 or so tanks of break in.
I am about to do a trade for a nib xxl 2 and a 3 tank ran Octane. The trucks would be from the early batch around release time.
What I want to know is have the issues been worked out? were a lot of the problems related to factory needle settings being wrong?
Thanks in advance.

I absolutely LOVE my Octane. I bought it about 6 weeks ago, and I will hopefully do tank 4 this weekend. Tank 3 it woke up a bit. To me it's worth it. I live abroad so nitro is even more expensive and pump gas is even cheaper. I am a basher so the top end is fine. I love it.

I'm a bit late to the party, but I now have 19 tanks in my Octane and it's an animal! I don't know how many octanes have sold as it seems videos on YouTube dropped off after last August. There were really never problems with the engines, it was that the manual had the wrong needle settings. I will say it does take 3-4 tanks before it will get out of it's own way and even at around 9 tanks was when mine really woke up. I feel it's worth the money if you don't mind the break in period. Very happy with it.
