    Savage Kit History

    The plan was to complete tear down the tranny, and rebuild anyway. During that process we are going to use grease instead. Quick question about cleaning the plastic composite pieces. Would leaving the plastic only parts in a bath with simple green and water be a bad idea? Overnight? The...

    Savage Kit History

    After looking closer and all parts. I believe you guys are correct. This must have been a rebuilt 25 with X TVPs. Everything on it is SS/25/4.6 parts. Even the tranny. The white painted (btw was that a thing to paint the composite parts? I really don't like it) tranny is off the unknown...

    Savage Kit History

    HAHA.... I have two sets of TVPs one original and the other X. I also have two 2 speed trannies, I have had this same thought a number of times over the years. In fact I had (it was stolen) a spare parts box, that I believe other then some screws, o-rings, gaskets, electrics and engine. I...

    Savage Kit History

    Thanks, X, I have read that website before. I was looking (hoping) for something that detailed the differences between Kit to Kit and release date. Just wondering if HPI release a model that was the 25 as far as internals, but replaced TVPs and roll bar with X versions. Jr. Don't I know it...

    Savage Kit History

    Hi all, Is there a good thread or website out there that details the differences between Savage kits that HPI has released? Or a historical timeline? The reason why I ask, I decided to go a different route with my kids builds. That is buy some used trucks and rebuild them. So I found...

    Protek servos

    I never ran them. Probably my main reason for always wanted SS kits, let me choose my own servo's then use the crappy hpi servo's.

    What's the opinion of Savox Servo's

    Hello all, Some quick background first, I'm going to be purchasing a DX4R soon and there are packaged deals of ebay that package more Rx's and Servos with the radio (like this one). Anyways, I've only ever purchase Hitec or JR servos in the past. Just had been more reliable then most. Even...

    What engines for late 2014

    I have about 4 or 5 LHS near me, about 40 miles difference. All of them don't carry any, if not one mill. I completely agree we're the minority in a pool of brushless bashers...

    What engines for late 2014

    I hate to say it. But I completely feel the same way. It looks like everyone and there dad are all into Electric Short Course. Does HPI still throw those Savage events any more? The only engine i see readily available (in terms of MT) are LRP, HPI, Nova, Losi and OS. Did the Chinese low...

    I Want to Build a savy XL SS!

    It looks like from the reading i have done. All I would need is to get my hands on XL CHASSIS CONVERSION SET. Although it looks discontinued. :( So maybe FLM is the way to go. But looks like its only TVP, engine mount plate, and the extended drive shafts. As far as the motor, I just may...

    I Want to Build a savy XL SS!

    Thanks X for the reply and I got my answer. I also agree with you, i wouldn't use those spacers (For the love of god, WHY Purple?). I was just curious. I have purchased FLM chassis for my all metal Savy years ago. I really did like that chassis a lot. So your suggestion would be to do FLM...

    I Want to Build a savy XL SS!

    Hello all, Sorry for the confusing title, but I'm getting back into the hobby (AGAIN) now that my kids are of age. Anyways, I see that HPI released the X in an SS Kit version. But they never release an SS kit for the XL model. I still have my original Savage SS. But wanted to build a new...

    Whats the best engine for late 2010/2011

    lol Thanks. Its good to be back. I had a LRP once on my savy, a few years back. I was happy with it. But I must of had stored it wrong, and unmaintained. As now its performing like crap. But again LRP was great at first. Btw whats the best pipe for the LRP? And are we talking about .28...
