Hey, I posted another vid last night. Didn't get to run it long this weekend, it needs some love.

You've obviously never seen an HPI Baja engine. The engines on a HPI Baja is far to large to fit in a Savage or even Losi LST for that matter.I still don't see why hpi hasn't put the Baja engine in it. most ( but not all ) of it's problem's would be gone.
What? Who said it was a 1/5th scale? It's never been advertised as a 1/5th scale RC. The Baja line is the only 1/5th scale RC HPI makes. The Savage, including the Octane, is a 1/8th scale.the xl really isn't a true 5th scale.
Because that's really paying off for users too? Being a Savage forum I don't expect to see many people posting their thoughts here about the Losi but if you look around other sites there are several people complaining they are burning through plugs, button head plugs, and even multiple people blowing through engines.they should make there own gas engine, like losi did with the lst.
Thanks for the well wishes. My plan is to get it hot again and then try pulling it out by wrapping a wire around it and just pulling by hand. It's aluminum... I shake my head at aluminum exhaust parts. Steel gets soft at those temps, let alone aluminum. It's $50 new.... when they'll be available in September! I saw a full exhaust set available for bid on ebay, that may be the only place to get one this summer. I'm really hoping that Jetpro or DDM gets their asses in gear and make a kickass pipe for this thing. Make it durable guys! At the very least, I'd like to see a replacement manifold in a more durable material.

WOW that manifold does stick out in the danger zone a bit.... I would try to pull it out and get it off the cage, maybe soon there will be different exhaust manifolds out there for it, I am not sure how I like how it is out in the wind anyway, Good Luck with it......
I would put my nitro savage up against the octane and whip its butt good for it.I am thinking this is a GIANT FAIL on HPI's part and they should all be recalled until these troubles are worked out.....
btw: anyone else having problems with thread/forum alerts?
I seldom recieve any alerts at all.
