  • hey how often do yu replace the diff gears?

  • watch this video with the captions on, youll laugh.

  • @SavageRC1 LOOOOL

    

  • man this car is sick, i have big brake problems on my savage x 4.1, i wana put a 4.6 in there too, don't no if its worth it though. need help on the brakes though. do you no if those fibreglass brakes work?

  • @3aaadddzzz0, I run the 87150 stainless steel dual brake kit on mine, works great and only $16.99 on towerhobbies. Another tip is to use NiMh batteries, they give more power to the servo than alkaline, which gives you more braking power.

    There's no huge reason to change engines until you wear out the 4.1. The 4.6 is definitely faster than the F4.1 and it's an easy bolt-in upgrade.

  • @strykerstruck just ordered the dual fiberglass brakes man! can't wait for those to come! oh yeah i need a more powerful brake servo and throttle as well as a more powerful steering servo, any suggestions? and thanks for the help much appreciated.

  • @ the gold ring in the throttle/ brake servo can prevent your brakes from fully working, ive cut a grove in mine and the brake now moves freely without the throttle servo stopping it, theres some how to vids of how to do it... called brake mod

  • wow i only drove 1/4 gallon =)

  • why does my savage 4.6 bog out when i hit the break and it dont pick it at all its really slow can some one help thanks

  • That could be a lot of different things... idle set too low, bad glow plug, old fuel, low compression, exhaust problems. Most likely it just needs the carb adjusted properly. Try setting it back to the settings in the instruction manual. If that doesn't work, see if your local hobby shop can help you get it tuned.

  • @cruz4me dude, all it is, is your low needle needs to be flush with the casing, and the high end needle needs to be at least 2 mil in, this gives a SICK ass tune, but setting them to factory settings is also a good idea then just adjust the high needle, don't need to bother with the low, only a lil 1/16 tweak maybe clockwise after its been reset.

  • k thanx

  • what are O Rings???

    because my arm fell out of place once because of that metal rod moved back.

  • thanx for the advice

  • every time i drive mine, my sper gear usally breaks, they are the plastic ones tho, is it good to get a metal sper gear?

  • if they keep breaking then your not putting your motor back in line.

    if you add metal then your just gonna break something even deeper.

  • The plastic spur gears should last at least a gallon. If not, adjust your gear mesh per the instruction manual. Check to make sure that all of your chassis screws that hold the engine plate are still there. Check for a cracked engine plate.

  • my spur lasted way longer than a gallon, thats if your riding it hard. make sure its tight, cuz if its too loose it'll slipp too much and be gone before you know it. tighten it all the way and just loosen it 1/4. my rule is tight it to where it gets tight. thats it. not too tight

  • your motor is to close to the gear or it is to far from it.

  • hell ya bro nice vid... i cant wait ta get mine,5 more days...

  • i like the body!

    Is that body costume or did you buy it !

  • That's an HPI GT-2 body that I sprayed with Pactra Flo Orange. It's a runner so I kept the paint job simple.

  • A small side swipe from my savvy xl(low speed)distroyed a rusler VXL at top speed and scrached the HPI sign off my polished exhust not even the lipo battery suvived in the rusler it hit and went up about 20m then it was all gravity spew no footage of it IT WAS GOLD he was biggin ug traxxis at the time

  • is that a nitro engine?

  • yes

  • lets see you drop your t maxx from two stories high and then lets see which one is better ans 83 mph ha lets see it then ill believe you

  • neither will survive, things break...

  • true but the savage is way more durable then the maxx

  • I know the savvy will survive, mine did. low vic' shock oil and hard springs

  • 83 mph?? lol

  • no, no, its a completely handmade evader, with a trx 3.3 engine, completely custom! lol

  • i'm geting myself the rear exast cuz it pisses me of that the oil and junk from the exast get all over the brakes and great video thanx 4 the tip about the thing between the fuel tank and car

  • and dual rear pipe? if so dont they suck

  • i hope not

  • i suggest a plate for the bottom in the middle from integy it screws right in to the chassis

  • Lol, you made yourself a savage X 4.6 before it even came out! I got the 4.6.. Ugh had so many problems with the engine.. but most of it is my fault, i dont blame the truck at all. and somehow i already bent the chassis right beside the fuel tank with less then 1 gallon threw it.. sad huh? I didnt think I was that a horrible driver XD. Like i said I blame NOTHING on the truck all me. Great truck.. love it.

  • sorry.. you probuly get asked this allot but how much wold you expect to pay for one of these in the U.S.?

  • The o-rings you talk about on the upper control arm pins....how do yhou utilize the o rings. I started to have a problem with my arms coming out.

    Thanks

  • Put an o-ring around the two bars that go to the front bumper. That will keep the bars from spreading apart and prevent the pins from accidentally sliding out. Most hardware stores have an assortment of o-rings, I think you need one about 2" in diameter.

  • I've seen this mod also done with zip ties.

  • At 0:35

  • I noticed that you have different colored shocks. Does this show any kind of a benefit for you?

  • nice but my truck has twice the drive shaft urs does

  • Why does the european hpi site say that the low cg plates do not fit on the savage x.

  • did you have to buy a new fly wheel with the new motor

  • sometimes

  • when you upgraded to a 4.6 did you have to buy a new fly wheel?

  • sick truck but the body looks kind of funny

  • ANY R/C CAR IS A BITCH TO CLEAN. thumbs up agree, thumbs down dont agree

  • actually a good tip

    i use the simoniz foaming tire cleaner and spray it all over then let it sit and wipe it of comes out good as new and u dont have to worry about it screwing up any electrical stuff.

  • savX = toughest truk in da world! :D

    i got da 4.6

    went through brake pads like a mad dog, even went through steel plate ones quick as hell, now i have a single disc, which is as thick as 3 of the savX4.6 ones combied, works greatest, longest lasting of em all so far

    i use RPM arms and skid plate, but then i wanna try that low cg chassis plates from integy, the finned ones.

    Also my dogbones literally bent, as in twisted, the spikes at the ends arent aligned with respect to each other anymore

  • i bought a stainless steel full dual disc brake system from hpi, wearing the stock ones out then putting those in i cant wait, the stock ones suck ass. i got the savage x 4.6.

  • Rather booring video, can you drive a little? Nice information video though

  • this guy sounds like dave at hammers hobbies in springfeild,il

  • even when displaying his car hes bashing

  • you probobly dont even have an rc car and that motor is not crap.

  • nice savage, i also got a savage x, along with a jammin x1 crt, revo 3.3 and axail ax 10, savages are aawesome!! ohh and a micro t,

    and by the way, crazymazy u do not need heavy duty cupjoints and dog bones!! i got the aluminum cases on mine with the spider gears and every thing work perfect!

    sweet truck!!

  • you sound exactly like the guy off the show survivor man.....im convinced its him.

  • mine is not turned perfectly yet because i've only finished the break in about a week ago and havn't had time to tune it but it will reach a good 50 55 or 60mph yea i don't really now how fast it will go but i know its fast. Accually i know it will touch 90KMH as opposed to 80 or 75

  • why does nobody have a 5.0 in there savages mine does and the difference in the 4.6 and 5.0 are like night and day

  • where do you get a 5engine from?

  • order one from O.S engines The one you need is a O.S vg30 5.0

  • Mine came with my savagex (I live In Korea) so getting an O.S might be a problem but ask your local hobby shop owner about it and if he dosn't know about it go online and search O.S Max-30vg 5.0 rc engine.

  • i know what you mean about the o.s engine now since you told me ive looked it up and it looks heaps better then anything on the market at the moment!am gona get an x ss without an engine the put one in!!! how fast is yours?

  • my savage 4.6 is a fucken monster, all i did was put in a all metal gear servo because the stock ones arent that strong (broke it on the first day i had it)and thats all i had to do and i beat the living shit out of it and it still runs and drives like new... best investment ever

  • are you going to bye alloy parts for your truck or is it strong enough?

  • no you dont need it unless you want to do like 30 foot triple backflips and land it like upside down. lol but if ur thinking about buying one its the best thing for the money.

  • if you're doing 30 foot jumps with alloy parts, you'll end up with an aluminum pretzel

  • haha, thats funny

  • nice u really know how to make a savage x dirty

  • Great video man, really professional imo.

  • ...

  • SAVAGE X is a beast. got a 4.6 savage X SS and i abused it many times and hell its about time to do some mods on the shocks. any suggestion? Nice Video mate.

  • I've got the HPI Alu Shocks and they're really great and easy to adjust.

  • Nice to hear a lot of the old Savage parts are better than the newer Savage X parts... my mate has just bought a Savage X and my tired old Savage 25 was feeling a bit inferior :(

  • grande questo modello enche io cèlò questo modello x rò a rispetta al tu e molto + potente il tuo al mio

  • I need to buy a 4.6 big block for my §avage 21

  • Your whole drivetrain will break if you don't buy alloy diffcases, spiderdiffs, a steel spur and some heavy duty cupjoints (and dogbones).

  • I wish I took the time to browse YouTube for videos like this before I bought my T-Maxx 2.5. Nothing against the T-Maxx and all but I like 1/8 scale MTs better and I also like the Savage design over the T-Maxx.

  • hey where is your antenna?

  • HOLY HELL!!!

    you wore out shock caps?!?!?

  • fuel em -n- beat em good

  • Well spoken and knowlegable young man, nice vid

  • Savages are great, no doubt about it

  • im thinking of buying a savage now because it seem its more better that a revo no offence for the people that has a revo im just saying but how much does it cost for a savage x

    PLEASE REPLY

    THX

  • i got mine 4 £310

  • savage x is the best thanks for the tips im still trying to make that sardine can skidplate lol

  • i need this car where can i get it for less than 3000

    call :083 481 6595

  • lol he trows hit hole the time when he turns the savage .. he slams it on the ground

  • k te calles gilipoyas

  • no sea mamon puto

  • id like to see a modded sts .30 in that!!!

  • nice nice

    for those swinging arms i use zip ties..

    besides that i see u have the integy hdmotor plate, u should get the hd tvp 6mm chassi splates + integy alloy shassis braces with an axial .32 runnin on a 3speed tranny..

    then ur savvy will be pretty much untouchable..

    and m surprised ur stock shocks lasted u over 8 gallons, lol mine (on in the front) gave out at the end of the 2nd gallon..

  • all what u rote is wack puto

  • I just got mine from trading an old laptop (Savage 25 the guy did not needed it anymore) it had the chassis upgrade and dual disks brakes but no engine there for im looking for one o i forgot and it had costom new painted wheels and body too LOL.

  • i can only reccomend 2 engines. lrp z28r spec 3 and os 30

  • the axial .32 would be the sikest for a savvy X

  • forget the .30 only 3hp the z 28r is great 3.81 hp hmm if you want a high quality cheaper engine with a bunch of power id drop in a sh m28p3 3.6hp nice engines i like mine alot i have a z 28 also and thats a nice engine but ive seen the os 30 if you want bigger id go to a sts .30 modded ... ya

  • do u think a savage motor will fit on a .18 hsp tyrannosourus ( sorry i cant spell it)

  • nope, the engines fitting range are ??-.18 and .21+, so i think urs .18 tyran0 is in th elower scale, the .28 on his savvy wont fit there..

  • wow you know neither of you know what your talking about omg ok you could fit it with maybe minor mods yes but i wouldnt bet on it dropping directly into a smaller scale truck

  • he dosn't know what he is talking about of course it will fit

  • nice truck m8.i might get some mods 4 my savage 25 to catch up with all the new models that are out.

  • i dont no if u have snow where u live but if u do have u driven the truck thru the snow with thos tires? if so are they good trackshen in snow? i wanna buy one of thos trucks and put my homeade rc plow on it (just for fun ) and plow the driveway in the winter have a lil fun ya know
