Vintage Nitro RC Restoration - HPI Savage X Is This The Worlds Best Nitro? & Plush First Start!

In this Video we restore a old Nitro Rc Monster Truck a HPI Savage X 4.6.
We dissemble clean and rebuild ready for a bashing, not before un sizing the stuck nitro engine after been left sitting for years. After rebuilding we start up the engine for the first time and let rip bashing the truck around a field.

Would like to see nitro make a comeback, especially monster trucks 😎👍

[@conceptBuilds]

That would be so cool!

I have a "MINT" 2012 HPI SAVAGE. When I built it out of the box, I replaced the 4.6 Nitro and put in the HPI 5.9 Engine. It's NEVER been started or ran, I even have that exact same RADIO. It is literally still like BRAND NEW!

[@conceptBuilds]

Wow Really what you waiting for, fire that beast up and it rip!!!

[@JeffreyStrader]

@@conceptBuilds honestly, my health is slowing down my hobbies. I still have a gallon of the racing fuel I purchased, sealed. (probably no good now)

[@RCDEPENDANT]

Wd40 and heat gun, boom ya done.

[@conceptBuilds]

Thanks I'll defiantly use this trick on the next one!

[@danielrequejomartinez9887]

@@conceptBuildsthis isn’t just a savage x.this looks to be the top of the line savage x ss.I have one.go it for $200 never run.was someone’s shelf queen and also had to un seize the engine..yours has the same pipe tires rims steel spur ajustable turnbuckles steel discs and most likely the alloy diffs

[@conceptBuilds]

@@Oldcupcake6012 Oh nice just checked and yeah your right it is an SS Kit!

[@BenshobbyStuff]

just picked up a savage x 4.6 up of ebay. it was in bits so only cost 100 pounds. its in mint condition now its back together and the engine hadnt even been run in mate. good video thanks dude

[@conceptBuilds]

Wow sounds like you got an absolute steel there!

[@BenshobbyStuff]

@@conceptBuilds yeah well chuffed with it mate. New servos and a metal spur gear gonna test it out today now its stopped raining. I think they took it apart and forgot how it went back together lol. Bought a blank shell for it so i can keep the original safe too 🙂

I just bought 2 savage .25s from marketplace for $160 USD and got a bunch of spare parts and bodies with them. After some tinkering, then adding new flysky receivers, battery packs and 1 pull starter, they both run like new. One of them has functioning reverse, too! I'm into both of them for about $100 each in purchase price and parts. Hard to believe you can pick these up used for sub $100, especially considering $100 USD in Biden terms doesn't buy much of anything..

[@allaspectsrc4178]

Looks to be all there ..

[@conceptBuilds]

Thanks!

[@MaJestic1988]

Would heating up the block while the engine was seized help un seize it?

[@conceptBuilds]

It dose help yeah, most times a squirt of wd40 with some big pliers gets the job done

[@narongrachmareongsit1978]

❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊ไฟแอดพ์.

[@conceptBuilds]

thanks!

[@craiggough3272]

You shud of used petrol not wd40

[@conceptBuilds]

Thanks we know for next time!

[@hansd-uu9nw]

Best ever made!

[@conceptBuilds]

We agree to!!

[@lowellfunk8974]

First of all, go and get yourself some proper pliers! Needle nosed pliers are totally unsuitable for what you are trying to do! A small pair of chanel locks will work much better.

[@conceptBuilds]

Thanks will do!

Cute he unscrewed one wheel for the thumbnail.

[@conceptBuilds]

Always!
