HPI SAVAGE X SS with K5.9 engine: MASSIVE WHEELIE SESSION!

[mattft86]

yea m8 i just put the 5.9 block in my savvy x and it rips nice 1

[Revomad1]

Thanks. The 5.9 is a beast once it breaks in. I think it takes about 2 gallons of fuel to reach peak power.

if u run over ur foot with those tires youll rip ur foot open!! lethal tread lol

[Revomad1]

HAHA! I love these tires!

[crazyudder]

does it not wheelie because it boggs?

but anywayz beats mine anyday lol!

harry, 15

[Revomad1]

I'm not sure what you mean. It wheelies on command unless I ease into the throttle.

[xXHPIxXXxRACINGXx]

whatch my vid me with a firestorm doing a 50 metre wheelie

[Revomad1]

OK. I will check that out.

[jlake01]

how'd you stop the titanium spur spripping the clutch bell coz i have a titanium gear and the clutch bell keeps stripping!!

Thanx.

[Revomad1]

You need to use a hardened clutch bell. I am using an Axial vented clutch bell, but the the HPI vented ones are hardened I believe. The HPI non-vented bells are VERY soft.

[jlake01]

Oh right. Ok i'll try a hardened one. Thought i had a hardened one to begin with, obviously not. Hows your titanium gear, is it showing any wear at all??

thanx for the reply.

[Revomad1]

It looks like the teeth are rounded a bit. I tossed the HPI steel spur because it is too narrow and eats clutch bells.

[AEbuggy]

What do those sell for?

[Revomad1]

The Savage X 4.6 RTR (Ready-to-Run) is about $420US and the Savage X 4.6 SS kit is about $370US. The X SS needs to be assembled and does not include a radio system.

[AEbuggy]

Thanks.

[scrogathon]

Great video man, looks like you had a blast out there.

[Revomad1]

Thanks! I did have a blast!

[PATURMANPLUNGER]

I also think that it would be nise if there was a way to avoid weelies because i think its cutting into the speed.

[Revomad1]

You can gear truck higher to cut down on wheelies and improve top speed, but I like low end acceleration and wheelies!

[PATURMANPLUNGER]

Man,! It would be cool if there was a special pipe system that were smoke staks! Dont you think that would be cool?

[Revomad1]

It would be!...Until you land the truck on it's roof from 15ft in the air (been there, done that!) and crush them! lol

[Yoda1124]

really nice truck, whats the top speed

[Revomad1]

Thanks. I'm not sure about the speed. I haven't radared it yet. It's fast enough though! lol

[101bod]

The 3 speed I brought for my truck, I brought off of ebay and I didn't get a manual with it. My second and 3rd gear seem close together is there a way in altering this.

[Revomad1]

I PM'd you a link to the PDF (digital) manual.

[101bod]

I have nearly the same set up as this, but for some reason mine don't wheelie from off. It only wheelies from second. Sweet video I wishes mine ran like that.

[burtonkidd]

one thing i dont like about my 3 speed is that i live in a city and there isnt really alot of space to go though all 3 gears lol exept up the street..

[xxStratxx69]

Rock N' Roll Train - AC/DC

[Revomad1]

Yes, that's the song. It says so in the end titles. I'm excited to hear the new album "Black Ice" which comes out Oct.20.

[LikeAVideo]

Oww. can't wait for my savage x 4.6...

[MrRs4]

AWESOME vid mate, that thing has some speed lol, what fuel you running

[Revomad1]

I use 30% "Sidewinder" fuel by Morgan fuels.

[Revomad1]

Thanks for the kind words guys!

[Gkmatts]
