hey guys kinda new to the forum and thought i would come in and stroll.. in the meantime i thought i would share my project savage and how its become one of my favorites.. ive always been that guy that buys trucks and mods them and just sells them before i even get to drive them... well this one is different.. i have been into rcs for over 15 years and ive had everything from boats, planes, cars/trucks, nitro, electric to gas powered 1/5 scales.. and over the years i have come attached to the savage line of trucks..so i think I'm going to keep this one and just make it the way i want.. about 3 years ago i got out of rcs to get into another hobby of building atvs and sleds... well dang it. i been missin out lol.. atvs and sleds are cool but these things never seem to get old to me.. so one day an old buddy of mine called me and asked me what i would suggest for his first rc and i had him sold on the savage, so with him buggin me to help him, made me want another, so here it is...
So i started out with a brand new in the box Hpi Savage X 4.6 RTR which i paid 450.00 for delivered to my door... brand new in a sealed box.. buddy and i got together one day and decided to break the trucks in together and we had fun.. didnt have any issues other then some electrical issues but found out soon after that it was just the weak batteries.. for some reason the stock 4AA holsters suck and they made the truck act funny so we upgraded to the 5cell battery packs and never had any issues after that.. after running our trucks for a bit (half a gallon of fuel) we decided we would go bigger with new and better motors.. so we did some looking around and well, in the past i have always loved lrp engines.. ive had alot of good luck with them and i had to sell him on one, well he was sold lol.. he bought an lrp and lets just say i had to as well.. so i got the lrp.. after doing some research and looking for pipes and other upgrades i came across a member on the savage-central forums that had a nice like new extreme rc mods 221t endbleed pipe made by robin.. i had to have it.. in all the years of running nitro, i have always heard good things about his pipes and always wanted one but its always been a pain to get one in my hands so i never did.. after finding this one i was sold... so anyways.. enough of the boring stuff... that being said this is how my project started...
And now for the goodies... Lrp 30 spec 2 and ercm endbleed
And now for a running video.. Waiting on a servo at the moment so i couldn't drive it.. Awful to have to wait for such a small part just to drive it after hearing this sound and power..
