Hellooo you lot! I hope you're all having a great weekend!
I thought I would carry on my "Show and tell" thread series again this weekend!
This time we have my HPI Savage 3.5, this one is just great! It's almost mint and I couldn't believe my eyes when I found it!
It all started because my friend wanted to get into the hobby and wanted a Monster Truck, so I looked and come across this! The price was amazing too! He didn't have enough money though so I was like well, I'm buying it if you don't because that price is just unmissable! So anyway I went to Southend, to collect it and well... It was in a block of flats, there were people on every flight of stairs doing drugs and when I got to the flat this was in, it was like a sene from that old TV show "Ideal" with Jonny Vegas. Anyway the bloke and the girl didn't really have a clue and just wanted money so I paid them their £70... Yeah... 70!! and went home!
Bloody hell you lot, this truck is amazing for that price, just look at it!
So, shortly after my friend bought it from me, for £70... I can't make a profit from a friend can I ay?
But shortly after many failed attempts to get him to leave his TV screen and come out he sold it back to me!
I was so pleased to have it back because secretly I love this truck, it's just so mint compared to my 21, you don't find them this clean anymore! Just think in 2002 it was made and today it's not got any modifications at all! Apart from the new pull start I fitted and the failsafe, because these run the 27MHz AM band of course!
I planned to keep this one mint and use my 21, because with these trucks becoming more rare as time goes on it's nice to have a clean one!
Have any of you lot got one this clean?
I spent an afternoon tuning it and getting the gearbox to change gear, it was stuck in 1st, but it just needed to be adjusted!
As some of you might know I collect the older models, really I like anything old haha.
It was a pleasure to share this with you all as usual and now I'm off to decide which one I want to share with you all next!
