HPI Savage X SS

[Frozenshade]

WOW    That truck is HUGE!  I'm looking into getting a Traxxas Nitro Stampede to start my adventures, but after a year or so I might think about dropping an engine like that in it.  Is that even possible?  Sorry, I'm kinda new to this lol 

Never.  Not only is the Savage a 1/8 scale and the Stampede a 1/10, the Stampede is designed to use a .15 cubic inch engine, the engine in the Savage is .28 cubic inches (4.6cc).  AKA, the savage's engine has almost double the displacement (Displacement does not directly reflect size though-so while it may not be almost double in size, the crankcase will definitely be a bit bigger).  So even if you somehow managed to mod the Stampede to let the 4.6 fit in there, it would burn up the drive train in no time.

Maybe you could try 3.3. I know I could put a .18 in my T-Maxx .15. So if not a 3.3 definately a 3.0.

Dang.  I probably wouldn't do it anyway.  That engine's WAYY too much money.

I guess...It's only $190 and it comes with a pull start, seems like a good deal to me.  As far as engine prices go that is nearing the bottom end of the spectrum.  There are a couple good engines for near $150 or so (like the Novarossi N21BF), but for the most part the general range for a good mill is $200-$350.  Several of the top of the line ones are easily $500+ though.  Price on that 4.6 doesn't look so bad now does it?    At any rate, its cheaper than the engines I use in my buggy hehe.

[Jacob Mobley]

I could buy a brand new car for that much money.  190 dollars is a lot but that engine is pretty powerful.

[Khraih]

I can`t wait to test it!

[Jacob Mobley]

I've watched a couple of videos of that thing doing stuff that would completly DESTROY any other kind of car and the Savage does the same thing and doesn't even get a scratch.  Your going to have a hard time BREAKING it. 

[Jacob Mobley]

Here is a great video demonstrating how tough this truck really is.  He starts out with regular tires and then put paddles on, and then WOW

Thanks very much helikido!

I don`t think it`ll break when I crash, people say it`s indestructible!

I`m not sure when I`ll get a Heli, I don`t think I can get one for Christmas because my mom say it`ll be too frustrating, and expensive (parts) lol. But if I win that video contest I`ll definately get a Heli, probably BCPV2 because I`ll have a lot of money for spares and upgrades. But if I don`t I might get a Honey Bee FP V2 with my own money because it sounds great.

Is it alright if I add you to my buddy list?

Happy late Thanksgiving.

Okay, my Savage will win! When I make my video in a couple days, I`ll make sure I get a couple crashes in just so you can see how tough it is!

I dont think I`ll get the Nitro today because my dad is still helping my neighbor move and the LHS closes at 5 p.m. But there is like a 99% chance I`ll get it tomorrow because I think hes moving tomorrow and we also have to go to town in the morning. Other than that it`s great! I put the masking tape on the body now and it is ready to be painted!

I`m on Christmas Holiday now! Now I can actually start making my video with my other RCs.
