HPI SAVAGE X SS K5.9: SAND HILL BASH with PADDLE TIRES

[JamieSkerten]

This is a brilliant video.

I found myself smiling the whole way through.

Good job. Looked like a lot of fun.

Bet it was a bi*ch cleaning out the sand afterwards though!

[Revomad1]

Thanks! I still like watching this video once in a while. It never gets old! That was probably the most fun I have had with my Savage so far.

[jeroen3nl]

if you want to break it try a top speed run with a brik wall for finish line ;D

[Revomad1]

@jeroen3nl Yup! that would do it! lol. I wasn't actually TRYING to break it, but I was expecting something to give with all of the punishment I was dishing out! If something does break, it's typically just a small part that costs less than $5, so it's not the end of the world if something breaks. I have a lot of spare parts, so if something does break, I can usually fix it and be back up and running within a few minutes. Testing the limits of these trucks is what makes them so much fun!

Hey thanks for your comment last month. Your video is awesome! I was really impressed with the sand paddles, I never thought for an instance they would make as much difference as they do. It's funny I was gona write in my comment to accelerate after your jumps to do a backflip flip, then in the next frame you did exactly that! You control your Savage way better than I do. Did you cut the wind-shield out for engine cooling? Keep the vids coming!

[Revomad1]

Thanks for the comments! Yes, I cut the windshield out for cooling. It's a good idea to let some air pass over the engine.

[jummyjunka]

haha, awsome. im goona go take my dual VXL E-Maxx out now! 5/5

[Revomad1]

I hope your diffs and transmission hold up! lol

[CRAZYTHUMPSTARS]

sweet savage man and awsome paddles. i just bought some paddles for my baja 5b and cant wait 2 try them out wen they get here in the mail. gd job on the vid anyway ;)

[Revomad1]

Thanks! A Baja 5B with paddles on sand dunes would be the ultimate R/C thrill!

[AVIDRC]

Awesome RC bash site...some great fun to be had there.

I love how your paddles chuck that sand so great! Awesome lil vid man 5/5

[Revomad1]

Thanks. It's too bad that sand pile is gone now.

[Jakearoo14]

How old is the cameraman he is pretty good?

[Revomad1]

The cameraman is my nephew, Braden. I think he was about 10 at the time. Your right! He did an awesome job!

[0kowalski0]

those tires really throw around the sand

[Revomad1]

Yup. I wish I lived close to some sand dunes. 5ft roost coming off of all 4 tires is an awesome sight! lol. That sand pile was gone the next time I went back there.

[marcmyster]

Cool Vid .....yeah the music police suck i've deleted 10-15 vids already i like the sweet sound of nitro ....but i still use tunes

[generalcastillo38]

thank you , cya

[iamcyberpunk68]

YOU WONT BREAK IT IN SAND BRO

[Revomad1]

LOL. Yeah, it absorbs the shock really well.

[ryno490]

4 wheel sand paddles throw the best roost.. man thats awesome

[Revomad1]

Agreed! lol

[beergut1022]

Why spend $ 500 just to try and break it ? Don't worry the sand might have done it for you. 1 Grain = New motor...

[Revomad1]

Thank you oh wise one! lol. Parts are cheap. Go big or stay on the coach and watch TV!

[CodyOebel]

I liked the video.. so how far away from the radio have you had the savage? I'm scared of a channel lock and the savage just takes off in one direct full speed if I let it get to far away from me, but how far have you let the savage get from you, and have you had such radio problems ?

[Revomad1]

I use a spread spectrum transmitter, so frequency issues are not a problem. They also have great range. I rarely go further away than I did in this video though.

[hypa7mach28]

wow nice savage man nice to a savage being taken to the max with its rigidety lol 5* m8

[Revomad1]

Thanks

[matthewmarrs123]

they are built to withstand this kinda beating man thats awesome imma get me a 4.6 bigblock soon

[Revomad1]

Savages are. T-maxx's and Revo's?...Not so much! lol

[burtonkidd]

Nic! but why did you upload the same video twice ?

[Revomad1]

Read the video description. The other one has been deleted.

[burtonkidd]

h i get those copy righted emails all the time i just disclaim them !

[Revomad1]

They blocked the video so it could not be played.

[burtonkidd]

Oh, so they didn't even give you a chance to audio swap !

WOW!

[Revomad1]

Yeah they did, but it was blocked until I changed it. All the songs they allow you to use suck and audio swap would eliminate the sound of the engine, so I just removed the song from the video on my computer and uploaded it again.

[xxStratxx69]

Nice

[Revomad1]

Thanks
