Mel Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 im surprised know one has posted this yet but they Apparently on Thursday 19th January, information and pictures will go live on the HPI Europe.com site of the brand new Savage X but know one seems to know exactly what the spec is gonna be but there are rumours flying about that it will have easier diff access and could even be lowered for racing using the hpi racing tvp's.

Samari Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Hopefully they'll have a properly bulletproof drivetrain that is backwards compatiable with the other Savvy's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzi220 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 why don't they do it right? put a 4,6 in and a 3 spd instead of these 25's all the time £380 on MIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 maybe they have got a load if left over engines, and need to get shot, this might be another way of getting rid? god only knows. I don't find it hard to get to the diffs anyway, once you've done it a few times, it becomes second nature. You can have em ripped apart if need be and back together in no time.

madmanluke Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 dont u find it to be an absolute effort to do it though. even if you have done it that many times. if the parts are interchangable with urrent savages, i rekon il get hold of my self the asy access diffs. tis just nice to have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 yeh i was thinkin i might get some of the parts but as for the truck why wud i wanna downgrade lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 simple answer dazz. dont buy it. wait till its out and the pieces come out for it. if any thing takes your fancy. like the engine roll cage, easy access diffs. easy acceses center gearbox(savour if out on a bash with a stripped spur) etc just buy them seperatly. depends if they are interchangeable with other kits though. which they should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 tbh, the first few times, i was thinking, ahh man, this is a ballache, but now its just, get stuck in and its done. Doesn't bother me personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 i reckon when the next bigger engined sav comes out hpi will release rtr 4.6's all over the place like the 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 the radio tray should be better like, looking forward to see what that and the gearbox look like, although again, i hardly ever go in mine since i use a charging jack, and i havn't stripped a spur since i moved over to the RR Combo. Should be intresting to see what they have done though. The thing i like is all the things they have changed are things the customer has wanted changing, you can't fault HPI for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 only thing u can fualt them over is creating too many savage kits. it reuins what they are. a unique working monster rc truck. yet every one now seems to have them. 6 kits are now availible. stupidity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 so tru luke, but they're a company and at the end of the day its about profit, they make a good truck it sells alot so they sponge it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 you would of thought theyd understand that every one now has a savage. why would they buy another one? just bring your ideas out as hop ups and bedone with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
