Well the Savage Octane broke today on the start of my sixth tank of fuel. I had just started getting into the throttle a little bit getting it to shift into second gear when BRAP!! The exhaust got very loud, the header pipe broke at the flange that bolts to the engine. I call HPI and report the problem so they can send me a new header pipe and gasket but the customer service rep could not find the part listed on his computer. We both confirm the part # in the book but he could not pull it up. He said it could be a typo on the part #. The service tech's had all already left for the day so he told me to call back tomorrow when there there and talk to them. 3 day's old, not even 6 tanks of gas and over $900 bucks and it's broken. I am very upset, they can't even find the part I need. Did I mention that on the 9th of last month I bought a new Savage 4.6 and the trans or clutch or something went out on it in less than a month and I sent it back to HPI for repair. Not got it back yet. So far the HPI Savage line of trucks has not been so great for me.
