I'm not 100% sure what engine that is, but I do know, that is probably one of the loudest pipes I've ever heard. Lots of low end torque, but damn loud, so prepare for that. The engine looks like the nitrostar 25: http://www.hpiracing.com/en/part/1406, which means it's either an alternate engine on a 21 savage (original), or is a later version of the original savage that should have the 4 spider gear diffs. Pretty sure the .25 savage and on had 4 spider diffs to help with durability.
The HPI polished pipe isn't quite as loud and performs really well, can usually find one on ebay for cheap. I like the Losi HT (LST2/XL pipe), but it takes a bit of work to make it fit since it doesn't use a coupler. It's quieter, but makes for a nice power delivery on the 4 or 5 engines I've run it with. Requires a bit of grinding so you can use a coupler like you have there.
quite a few parts
Quite a few???
Just my idea, i can't think of a lot of parts that won't fit a pre-X Savage.When you say quite a few. Can you please be more specific. Thank you.
I stick with my guess that it is a Savage 21 RTR. Assuming the red shocks, TVPs and radio box are stock. It does appear though that upgrades have occurred. That HPI ribbed pipe is an "upgrade" and someone swapped the engine for an HPI F4.1.
?????? the body is a Savage X body..based on the body I'm gonna say 21
?????? the body is a Savage X body..

I say it is an SS http://www.hpiracing.com/en/kit/845
Red springs, ribbed tuned pipe.. And an S25 engine.
The 21RTR had blue TVP's IIRC

Not exactly "Quite a few" as you stated before...
