Finally some nitro content. Been following your channel for several years now and glad to see some nitro here. Nitro is all I run these days. Tried getting into electric but they were boring. Been in the hobby for 17 years now and nitro is still king!
More to come!
I feel the same as you do. Have lots of electricrc cars to in my collection,but only use my nitros outside both bashing and racing. Find electric very boring,but its good for racing inside in the winter. I dont care that electrics are faster,its more than enough power in a good nitro engine. And much more driveable.
nice! how did you get yours so early we still gotta wait a couple of months here in the uk
Yes we want to know too!
Hey bro, not sure. Maybe cause it's the nitro version. Shipped from China, normally gets to Australia pretty quick.
Yeah Steve what’s up with that
@@RCTanksTrucks247 cool! where did you get it from? i cant wait 2 more months i want one now! haha
@@KevinTalbotTV it should give the Revo 3.3 a good run for its money
The smell when you open a HPI RC is just the best. I remember when I got my HPI Baja Kraken and after opening the box the room had that smell all day
Yep, definitely bro
I cant like this comment enough. I still remember my hpi firestorm smell nearly 15 years ago
That thing looks beautiful, now i really wish team associated and thundertiger would folloe suit and re-release their MGT 4.6 and rival 1/8
That would be cool
Couldnt agree with you more

One of the greatest RC designs of all time. HPI have made so many good cars and yet barely stay afloat. It's unfortunate.
Hope they keep it going
It’s the Traxxas Business Tactic, Drive Hpi off the map so they can be the “Best”. I still think HPI is a way cool brand. I love variety in the RC world.
I feel the same way with team associated with the monster gt 4.6..hands down my fav rc of all time. I hope team associated brings the mgt back
@@Jham1994 Brooo !!! I almost got one of those at one point. The Monster Gt ! MGT.... my neighbor had one he wasn’t using at one point. Laying in a storage rack in his backyard. Man I wish I could’ve gotten the thing. I think it needed a servo and lil TLC. You can still find those used I think
@@josefastboats5874 i look just about every week on ebay lol. Ive seen them on there every once in awhile but people want waaaay too much for them. I had one i bought in 2019 and then i had collected brand new sealed parts to build another and i sold it all like a dumbass and i went out of the hobby. That only lasted about 7 months before i got back into it with an xmaxx and while i liked it i also hated how expensive it was and sold it to get a tmaxx classic and ive decked that out now and just got a revo 3.3 used im going to be fixing up as well. A savage is one ive never owned but i feel like once i get done building the revo ill get the savage 4.6. Fuck electrics lol
So good to see the Savage back
The king
YUSSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISS😍
Same bro
I am SO stoked that they re-released the savage again, cant wait to buy one
Awesomeness
This also means that spare parts should be available, which means my savage x 4.6 will be able to rip again. 😀💪🏻
Yeah good point
They need parts
man I cmt wait to get my hpi savage XL bck running it use to run then I moved and lost the cord to charge the servo I believe that's what' it's called..what ever charge the lil black box on the truck is what I need ..does anyone know what that is called??thanks !!!
The savage has been around since I started RCing back in 1999
Classic
i still have my hpi savage 25, 4.1cc monster and parts are still available for the most part👍
I just hope the classic upgrades will be back in stock soon. Lets say tuned pipe 3 speed gearbox and metal brakes.
That would be great
I recently bought a HPI truggy with that same motor. You'll love it easy to tune and keeps it.
Sweet
Nitrogang!
🤜
Like to see the break in process. 👍
Thanks for watching
They just gave it to you? New body looks wicked. And seems like heaps of the old upgrades will fit, wheelie bar, engine flywheel brake, led receiver battery monitor, electric start, three speed gearbox, full metal brake disc. The savage is pure awesomeness! The only problem I had with my old one was the pull start one way bearings and ripping diffs apart from doing backflips. And motor started to leak, I lost the rebuild shims so it’s just been sitting on the shelf. Time to dust it off, maybe a new motor and the better diffs and dog bones from the new one yeeew🤘
Yeah, super pumped. Just need to get a starter kit and fuel
Finally hex hardware!! Looks amazing, Savage has to be one of if not THE greatest nitro car ever. Love it!
👍
I wouldn't say the best but definitely reasonable price..The best to me is Traxxas
I got 2 older models, they are insane, so much fun, can't wait to get the New one
You need a third 👍
i had one of the original savage 21 when they were first released. And ive had a nitro savage ever since, and still run my 4.6. great trucks and a great design. When they first came out the tvp was pretty amazing. especially compared to the t maxx etc.
Yeah man, classic
Looking forward to you getting this one running. Hoping HPI's new management/owners get them back up and building badass rigs again.
Rips now
Nice!!! I know Hybrid is juiced to get one of these!!
It is!
Although, I am not into nitro I do love seeing them being run. That savage does look real sweet. Can't wait to see you running it.
Cheers man
Love it, this was my what got me into rc. My first nitro as well. Can't wait to see more
Thanks 👍
Nitro I love it , I'm building my own custom nitro trophy truck can't wait to hear her rip ,enjoy mate great video as always 👍
Much appreciated brother
HPI SAVAGE NITRO BEST RC 2021 || I like your video guys 👍😎
🤝 1 Hobby 🏎
Cheers man
Very nice! Can’t wait to see you run it. I’ve never had a nitro, so I’m still timid about getting one.
Yeah Tony, used to have them when I was younger. Been a while now tho 😊
Great overview Steve👍 Hopefully the lockdown gets relaxed and we can see this running.
Thanks bro, much appreciated
Still rocking my SS K4.6 kit with all the good upgrades. I like the new bumpers and the hex hardware throughout instead of the phillips heads. Might convert mine. Lol
Awesomeness man
Cool to see this stuff again Steve. I actually wanted to get one but I think I have my hands full with my nitros Tmaxx, Slayer pro 4x4, Rustler & the 4tec. Maybe one day meantime I look forward to your run video. 👍🇨🇱
Right on
Great review bro!!!! ❤We just did the unboxing of the v2 Flux version and we'll soon test it a the skatepark!!!! 😎
I will check it out
i got my savage back in 2010 never even started the motor got a $100 credit swapped in a novarosi.28 with a ths pipe . tossed the 2 speed and got the 3 speed with robinson racing gears and carbon fiber brakes . stock shocks toss for proline 5 inch threaded shocks . upgrade to rpm x wide a arms and ajustable upper , best tire i got was proline x wide 40 series h pin . servo lasted 3 months upgraded all to jr racing with 2.4 radio . swapped out side plates to carbon fiber xxl . put a grave digger body on it . with all that said and done price was $900 . happy to see it back but witha $800 start price
Definitely one of my favorites. Love the savage!
@@RCTanksTrucks247 need a 1/5 savage with a hot chainsaw motor
This thing looks like a ton of fun. I've never tried nitro, so I can't wait to see you run it in and give it a good flogin'. It looks like it can take a beating.
Yeah we will have to find out
I always did 30 foot jumps with my savage x. I need a new engine for it and cant find one anywhere. Im itching to run it again.
@@nitrofyed715 Get a .36 Force Engine or a .32 LRP, those are your best choices.
2 speed baby!!!!
Yeah for sure
Yes! Hopefully that new 5.9 xl comes back in that sick green color
Other colors would be great
So glad to see they are back.
New it would happen. Eventually lol 😎🇦🇺
Nitro baby 👍
Yes I always believe in hpi I knew you guys had something coming soon 🙏
👍
Looks like a great truck👍🌟
Agree 👍
Just bought one of these today never owned a nitro , the shop I bought it from is breaking it in and tuning it for me , thank goodness because I am way over my head on this but am excited to learn .
Enjoy it
Definitely buying one looks like not much has changed loving the new wheels and body awesome video !
Much appreciated brother
Looks well smart might have to save up for one of these next
They are awesome
This thing looks mental love it! Looking forward to getting my one hopefully not much longer if you have yours in Australia already 👌
Cheers mate
What happened to nitro? I haven’t been into RC for a few years, adulting sucks. Went to my LHS, (Graves in Orlando) to buy my nephew a 1/16 Revo for Christmas and didn’t see any Savages. I lived in that shop back in the day. I always loved the ritual of nitro. There’s very little better than a 3 speed savage for the type of buffoonery I was into back then.
Nitro is slowly getting out of the market unfortunately.
Will likely get the Flux version first, because I need a new secondary 6S car (if I break my Kraton), but consider getting the Nitro afterwards. I got a modded Hobao Hyper VS with a Force 4.6 and love the nitro feeling and want it in MT format.
Nice bro. Yeah 98% of my cars are electric
i hope they improved the front and rear diffs and drive shafts as they were junk on the original 4.6
Apparently they did
Steve you're that kid that opens his present and waits to play with it lol. We need that running video! Talk about suspense mate!
Uploaded a the first start video just now
Just got my xl running today hopefully post a few videos 👍
Sweet
rc differential review please
😘😜
👌
Wheels are dope!!!!!!
Yeah great design
I still have my HPI Savage's one aluminum & the other stock.
Sweet
Excellent bro is this a new realise like 2021 from hpi??? I absolutely love my savages have. A 25 pre X model and it's a weapon 💪💪 if u don't mind me asking how much was it New
Yeah man, brand new model
Whattttt!!!!!!!!
Absolutely amazing brother, I'm so excited to see you run it. I think if hpi would get rid of the maverick line up and focus on this 1/8 savage both nitro and brushless and redesign the jumphot series to a 4x4 platform to compete with the granite 4x4 and the rival mt10 and traxxas 1/10 4x4 lineup and price them accordingly they would be golden. Also if you don't mind me asking what did this set you back $$?? I'm in the U.S.
Thanks man
All my trucks are brushless but that's 1 sexy a$$ nitro 👀✅
Yeah man, totally
Mate I'll have to bring my OG 4.6 down yo the local reserve for a brappp brappp
Lol
Don't forget me when you decide to offload the new one 😄😉
Cheers mate
Just need to find a local spot worthy of the savage nitros ;)
They need to bring back the hellfire come on hpi please bring it back
Nice
I see there is a wheelie bar on the savage x box under the lip of the top flap. What's the name and part number of that new wheelie bar?
Nope
I'm interested in the captured hinged pins, wheel hex and bumper sets for my XL. rest are pretty much the same
Hopefully they fit the older models
@@RCTanksTrucks247 yep and if the under chassis cover from the flux version fits, that'll be awesome as well!
I like my Savage XL.
Solid
I own the savage and it's the boss in my rc collection. ;)
All hail king savage
@@RCTanksTrucks247 yes sir! ;)
Nice you got one Steve! I was interested in the electric version till the price was announced lol. Little expensive for sure
Yeah bro, got to love ve nitro
Probably was supposed to come out 2012 or so, had law suit with traxxas and had to halt everything
Haha
Hpi needs to make a center skidplate
👍
new wheels and body not bad, still got the o.g x4.6 new in the box lol
haha sweet
I'm awaiting my nitro gt-6 I would love to see you caption the run in procedure. I can follow what you do. Also where do I buy upgrades? Thanks
Nice man, congrats. They are great from stock man.
Still waiting for the follow up videos on the savage..🤷♂️. And btw do you think the 3 speed transmission from the savage xl can be swap in to the new savage gt6??
Swapped it
Practically the same as the old one just way better body on the new one
Body definition looks good
Looks like arrma designed the grill.
Awesome looking
When you have a family it's hard to find the extra time to maintain a nitro car and nowadays with the noise it is hard to find a place to drive them.
Yeah the noise annoys people, meh they van block their ears, haha
I'm hoping the re-release the hpi baja
That would be cool 😎
I still have my Savage xl from 2008 as we speak guess ill hold on to it. Ill buy this new savage
Cheers mate
Looks way better overall, mine had 8 shocks and eventually a snapped off motor when I was jumping roads and landing upside down, enjoy!
Cheers
Thank you for the review! Could you show us the diff?
Might open it up later on
@@RCTanksTrucks247 Thank you.
Did it come with receiver batteries? Looks like no nimh battery or spot for AAs
No battery, you lift up the top hatch and the battery fits in there
Do we know if the parts will be interchangeable with the original Savage X?
Not sure bro
What the must have first upgrades
Bash it until it breaks and then decide, haha. They are great out of the box!
Ich warte auf den XL.. Der wird sicher genau der gleiche Abklatsch des alten savage X sein.. Der Flux ist interessanter
👍
Nitro the best 👌
👍
I thought HPI was gone now. I cant find their trucks anymore. Nothing HPI in hobby shops at all. Only left over parts.
Hopefully they will bounce back
They still have that same typo in their manual after all these years? Nothing like running in the 3th tank of fuel...............
hahaha
Whats up! How ya doing? Will you ever do a giveaway on a traxxas x maxx?😂 Would be a dream to get a chance to win one some day! Im planning on converting an rc car into a long range fpv car, and deliver candy/joy to kids!😂 Btw i absolutley love your videos, and id love to see some more content of this car! That car looks super sick!
Sup, yeah never giving them away. Over 1k each
Are these on normal dogbones or cvd ones
Sold it now, sorry
Are u on the US 🇺🇸 is this thing available here
No, Australia
I've got my new savage , I've got my bones brew break in fuel and run fuel , I'm ready but going insane cuz we have a foot of snow and below 10° temps , can't even break it in !!!!!!🥴😡
Enjoy it man
Nitro needs to stay alive...
Yeah man
Let's heat up our fuel by installing as close to the engine as possible.... BRILLIANT
All nitro cars are like that man. Lol it is no problem
Quite large, but it's good in the hands. 😂
Haha I was waiting for someone to note that 👍
@@RCTanksTrucks247 I caught it. Lol. Savage is a great truck. I put the sh.31 gas engine in mine. Still breaking it in.
There’s no roto Start?
No
I love the savage. I have run savage's forever from the 21,25, x4.6 xl5.9 right through to the flux and even have a couple of twinzilla's and enough spares to build a few more trucks🤣 but it's great to see it back and it looks to be mechanically compatible with previous models which means more spares😆👍👍 only thing I have to say about the new model is that it's probably the ugliest rc body I have ever seen🤣🤣 what were you thinking of hpi??😂
Haha 😂 Glad to hear that you love the HPI brand bro
Also kinda sad they switched to pull start from the ezstarter ;/
I prefer pull starts
@@bingcringing Well, they sometimes hurt your finger skin cord tends to snap ans the spring sometimes breaks... Lets just say im a not a fan. Tho on my savage i have remote electric starter so all i have to do is push a button.
I have 12 vehicles with pull start and another on the way. They only take a pull or 2 to start. No need to carry something else around.
Pull starts are better imo
@@RCTanksTrucks247 Here we can only agree to disagree :P BTW are basic tools and glow starter included with the new savage?
Is this the only nitro savage gt-6 anyone in the world? CZcams landscape is devoid except you!
Haha not sure bro. Kinda surprised
Nitro nitro nitro
👍
Listen I love the Savage. I just pestered HRP to sell me a Savage X 4.6 that was sitting in a warehouse for 2 years. It was $499, HRP has a $30 off coupon on their home page and they didn’t charge me sales tax so all, out the door I got it for $470.
Now how can they expect any sane person to buy the new one for $709??? And the Flux for $769???
I could buy an Outcast or Talion EXP for $749
And I could buy an E-Revo 2.0 for what $650
and with the difference buy batteries.
HPI has to rethink the price point on this or they’re not going to sell a lot.
I emailed them and HRP begging them to reconsider based off the Comps
Thanks for the comment mate
way too much money cool tho ill stick to my old savages nice vid
Cheers man
Make Nitro Great AGAiN
Haha totally
Best has got Better iv got two 25
Bam
Let's make a frame that can take any hit, and put the wimpiest shittiest A-arms we can on it.... BRILLIANT
Never know, they might be strong. Flexibility is the key
Went back to pull start no thanks lol roto start
Cheaper and more reliable I think
You were lucky enough to get one and you still didn’t get a starter kit? Fail. Just toying with us.
Lol okay
Body has an Arrma vibe, not a fan.
Yeah looks a little similar in some aspects
🚘🏀🍎❤
👍
Let me guess they've changed nothing on the rig apart from a different name
No they have made several changes
They always give cheap knobbly tyres, last 2 seconds in a carpark
Haha yeah
