Hey everyone! I'm new to this forum, but was hoping someone might be able to help me out.
I used to own a traxxas slash some years back and a revo 3.3 even before that, and was thinking about getting back into the hobby. I'm currently eyeballing the HPI Savage x 4.6, but I'm really more interested in a kit than a RTR truck.
Unfortunately HPI doesn't offer any bruiser trucks as kits at the moment, and an email conversation with HPI didn't really give me a yes/no of whether to expect one in the near future. What I did find though is they offered the Savage SS 4.6 back in 2017 as a kit, #861, https://www.hpiracing.com/en/kit/861
Obviously, its an older model, but that's not important to me as I'm really more interested in the building and customization of it than having the latest and greatest.
The only problem is finding one of these things for sale anywhere. I'm not really seeing anything online, and aside from calling every hobby store in a 100 mile radius of me I'm not quite sure what to do.
Let me know what you guys think, whether it be comparable truck kits, the SS I listed, or otherwise.
Price isn't really an issue, but I wouldn't really want to pay over the original asking price of $400+ shipping for the SS.
Thanks!
