- 3 days, 3 Fails.... Stock Savage X 4.6 GT6 is very disappointing with his bad servos and plastic spur gear. The LRP 32 is too much for a Savage!!!!!!

Sometimes the RC nitro hobby sucks but most of the times you absolutely love it 😀 Great video as always ✌️
Thank you! I've been through worse with my rc's but damn this spot is 45 mins from my home 😕
@@TastyBRC Sure looks like a great spot but 45 min is a long way 😱
@@rcrelatedstuff6092 45 minutes and I couldn't even run a tank, two days in a row..
Seems like these companies couldn’t care less about nitro monster trucks and cheapen them out, then sell at max profit.such a shame. As a teenager I had a tmaxx 2.5 with a sirio .18, a traxxas revo with an o.s .18, a tamiya terra crusher, and a team associated mgt. the tamiya was the only truck that was junk, awful thing it was. My traxxas trucks though, I jumped over sheds, ripped it on the grass and the street, and beat the crap out of them and never had one problem. Same with the team associated, not one issue. Seems the new Savage, and the new Kyosho USA-1 nitro monster trucks all have MAJOR issues straight from the factory. Incredibly disappointing to see these companies slap a product together that you can’t run for a couple tanks without breaking. Rant over. Awesome video either way brother!
Thank you. I totally agree, kyosho and hpi are using their names to sell crap at a very high price. Regarding the savage, it turns out that it also has problems with weak differentials as in the past
SAVAGE life brother !!!
My savage life is very short for the moment ^^
I don't really have many problems with the plastic spur anymore. Excessive heat is what seemed to kill them, but if I run the engine a bit fat never really have the problems. I think the heat just did a transfer through things. And also I think a clutch spring maybe .8 or .9 that grabs quicker with these high power engines helps with heat too. LRP 32 for example.
It makes sense! Ill try softer springs with a .32! And maybe à bigger motor, i wpuld like to buy the force 38 🤔
The „new“ version of the Nitro Savage shouldn’t be named as GT6 ,but as DGV ->Downgradeversion…In my opinion the old version many years ago,named as Savage X „SS“ was a lot tougher due important upgrades like the steel spurgear and so one..😐
Anyway,the video is epic 😍
My Savage XL (2014 edition) is really close to be ready for the first start,I’m serious hopping to have some more luck in respect of his realibility 🤞 One of the things which I was forced to change was the crappie SF-1 trottle servo because it wasn’t able to open trustable the carb,sometimes it had fully opened,sometimes not..What a shame!!!However it would be irresponsible to thrust such servo ,because it if decides to fail,while the carb is opened it could means a dangerous runaway with catastrophic consequences 😵
It’s in fact unbelievable how much I already spent on my Savage Xl rebuild project although It hasn’t moved by himself lol 🤭
The near future will show if all the work and money was worth for it or not👊😎
A couple of years ago HPI went out of business, they have not been able to withstand the competition from traxxas, arrma and others and now they come back with this trash... selling it at very high price. So disappointing. Good luck for your build, hope to see it running soon.
@@TastyBRC I guess that the main reason of the downgrades are based on the attempt to save costs in order to be able to get enough financial gains to survive even with all the competition..Sadly they forget on their mental calculations that exactly these politics could mean the death of they self..😞 However I’m happy that their are back due the possibility to get spare parts for my HPI models 👍
@@TastyBRC actually no it’s because they got sued by traxxas and they eventually went bankrupt
I’m almost not even sure if I should finish my video on the savage it’s just going to be me trash talking most of the video🤣 very disappointed with hpi. I could have used that money for another high quality kit. But unlike everybody else I wanted to give the savage a fair chance because it’s the most hyped up rc truck for the past 20 years
Same for me, i could have bought a tekno truggy 😮💨 make your video, hpi deserve it
Ran mine for 6 months and got a full refund from HPI. RETURN THEM.
Please finish your video.
Man this is why I don’t have a savage lol do they ever work right? Great vid nonetheless brother
Thanks 👍👍 I don't remember bashing my savage without breaking something 😆 brakes, pullstart, gears...
Everyone can have their opinion but I love the new savage. Spent $700 on mine new when they came out and I’d do it again
I have 3 savages, my first was a savage x 25, i also have a Flux and i was really excited about hpi releasing a new nitro savage so i did not hesitated to spend 800$ for this truck, for this crazy price i was expecting something better, a steel spur gear, better servos, same diffs as the flux and why not aluminium shocks and pipe and if not at least a reliable truck. So im disappointed 😔 but it's good that you're happy with yours, I hope you have fun with it 👍
@@TastyBRC completely agree there. for the price it really should come with some better parts. im glad to see hpi coming back and making improvements but yeah an aluminum pipe, some decent servos and the one thing that really made me shake my head was not including any way to power up the truck out of the box. had to go buy a hump pack for an "rtr" truck. cant complain though i really like the truck
perfect bash champ😎
I had bad luck with these trucks but they are fixed and ready fro another rip!!!
The savagex is a completely different animal which is difficult to compare with another type but it is one of the best despite the small flaws that this model has the new model of spur gear is really a problem a good old model with double friction disc and metal gear now difficult to find is best it is very important not to screw the spur too tight that the discs do not slip otherwise the transmission explodes I suggest lubricating the gears inside it helps me for mine I have a lot of experience with this model also add some locktite just below the engine mount not just on the screw
I've always been a fan of the savage, bought my first (the one in the second part of the video) in 2006, it was a .25, it wasn't perfect but could be improved and at the time there were few choices. The problem is that this one is sold for more than $800!!!!!! For this price, small quality or design problems become unacceptable. Thanks for the tips! i will add some locktite below the engine mount and some high pressure grease in the tranny
N'utilisez pas uniquement de la graisse pour roulements dans les roulements à sens unique Believe me, I've been used to it since 2004, just grease for the bearing, it's not enough, try to periodically oil the gears inside the transmission, if possible, use a two-piece transmission box, not the model with access from above. made of three pieces that have a tendency to loosen on the main chaft this seems to be a detail but this is one of the problems that hardly anyone cares about that's why it breaks 50% of the time that's the reason and that's why it happens again
@@davidlavergnelacasse2356 i will add oil and seal my 2 pieces gearbox with silicone. Thanks for the advice, it makes sense lubricating those gears just like a normal car gearbox, with oil not grease.
Do not overfill and in any case the bering will surely leak a little me it is from the center that I have leaks but I add oil each time really little just needed at the bottom the oil will circulate and I place a cloth when storing I am due for good maintenance 😅
@@davidlavergnelacasse2356 oook so silicone will be useless, ill try anyway, i will also gear it up and give another try with the lrp, a higher gear ratio should make the engine a bit smoother with the gears
Wow lots of issues. 🙁 Hopefully you get them sorted and get it running again. I'd recommend getting a thicker engine plate. If you watch the nitro RC nerds savage videos he goes through everything wrong with the savage in amazing detail including stripping many many plastic spur gears just for science. The spur gear is actually fine. It's the engine plate bending or flexing that is the problem.
You are right, the engine plate is slightly bent, if it wasnt the case the plastic spur gear would have survived but a steel spur gear would have been ok.. i will order a innovative rc 4mm engine plate, maybe a thicker chassis (a bit pricy) Ive heard of nitro nerds but cant find the channel 🤔
@@TastyBRC well it sounds like you found the problem and I think he recommended the innovative RC engine plate. I think he got the 4mm tvps as well, but later switched them out to 3mm to save some weight. :)
@@TastyBRC he might have hidden his channel. Unfortunately his wife died of cancer quite some years ago and he went mad, his last videos were crazy and he was obsessed with hiding things 😅
@@LawrenceTimme oO thats sad but also weird! Iwould have liked to see his videos, i heard quite some people talking about that channel
@@TastyBRC yeah I watched 90% of his videos a year or two ago and it was really wholesome to start with, was just starting out learning with his son. Then he got really into it and made some amazing and unique in depth content.
Then towards the end they really went off the rails. They were really hard to watch as he put some weird effects on his voice and strange music XD. If I manage to find any I'll try link them, but I can't even find his channel which I'm sure I was subscribed to.
That's why I kind of gave up on bashers and now I only own proper race cars. Stuff like this just doesn't happen and I feel like in the long run it's much cheaper. Did the chassis or motor mount bend when you flipped over for the spur to strip?
I never had this kind of issue with my tlr buggy and i burned a lot of nitro with my hobao truggy and never broke anything... You hit the nail on the head (hope its the correct english expression🤔) the engine plate is slightly bent.. a steel spur gear would have been ok.
I can feel your pain
Thanks bro..
I think they missed a few tricks on this, so close to being a great truck but so far away. I think I'll stick to my three year old Fo-xx, it just goes and goes.
Love the fo xx, best looking truck, sad they dont make it anymore
Get yourself one of the flm 2 speed metal gear kit. It'll solve the plastic gear shredding problem.
Cant find a 2 speed kit, 3 only. Are FLM44200 44t and FLM44339 39t ok to replace the plastic gears??
@@TastyBRC flm44339 for the 39. And flm44200 for the 44. Should be for the 2 speed.
Thanks 👍
@@TastyBRC your welcome.
Where did you purchased the LRP? is it a great difference vs the stock 4.6?
lrp.cc 👍 There is a HUGE difference between those two engines!!! stock .46 is a good, easy and reliable engine, .32 is a beast
@@TastyBRC it came with a pullstart? I checked and the pullstart option is the 4.0 not 4.1
@@mojarnugget didnt come with a pullstart, you will need part 38557 and 38556 (spec 4 pullstart). In the video im running a SH28 3 ports backplate and pullstart
Definitely I don't like putting big engines in savages anymore.. it's too much.. lots of gears shredded... Think I'm going to be putting a point 21 in my Savage XL.. get some good use out of it.....
Way too much... couldnt agree more. I took this lrp only one tank to shred the tranny, 3 tanks with the modded picco 28..and i really thought the picco was more powerful 🤔 stock 28 is really good and the picco 24 the best upgrade for this truck
@@TastyBRC where can I get a Picco .24?? first time I've heard of one... Love the JP pipe
@@kawiman31 Check this out czcams.com/video/cR_QxjDFOaU/video.html
Best pullstart engine i ever had, picco quality..got mine in France (rsrc biz) but search Picco Rebel XL on eb@¥ you will find italian sellers
❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊. ไฟแอดพ์. ?ใสร
You want to make ur savage a beast get every tyranny gear from the savage xl octane problems will be limited any more ? People
I didn't know the octane transmission was compatible! Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out for sure.
@@TastyBRC yes the gears are all harden steel
Damn this really sucks. I know how far the drive is for you. And then broke so quickly. Sacrebleu. Are there no metal gears for the Savage? . This isn't even a basher. It's toy quality. And to think that this costs 850. Bunch of scammers. 😡 This is really terrible. HPI junk. Before you can run decently, you have to spend a few hundred more.
Price-quality ratio is very disappointing. Ridiculous.
Hopefully you had some fun with the Hobao 👊
This purchase was a big mistake.. I've burned so many liters with the hobao with 4 different engines!!! and not a single issue...
@@TastyBRC It's all David's fault. lol He said he expected us to buy one. Glad I didn't. He once told me he had a potential partnership with a big rc company . Think he's in on it. lol. What a rascal😂😂😂
@@kings-racing 😆😆😆 we have the culprits! HPI and David conspiracy. I was going to buy the kyosho usa-1 instead of the savage, i still think I chose the lesser worst of the two.
