It's been out for over a year an you don't know what motor comes in it? Come on dude show some enthusiasm towrds an hpi product , I love your reviews an it's obvious you favor traxxas wich is fine but do be so blatent about it, your sarcasm while funny doesn't do the kit justice

[rcnightmare]

@EasyDozit13 lol HPI fan boys strike again....ya'll think we hate HPI...we don't it's just some of their kits suck...just like Traxxas and others, this doesn't seem to be one of them....but it's little brother was a pile

Interesting to see this. I bought the XS Nitro back in 07 and vamped it up and loved it. The crap I ran it through like clay pits and all sorts - amazing truck. So interesting to see a few years on that batteries are noe good enough to run the beast.

[rcnightmare]

@iio58 Yeah Lipos have come a looong way no doubt were spoiled =]

[iio58]

@rcnightmare They actually scare me you know! haha. I have a B4.1 Factory Team here but I havn't put any electrics in it yet - the whole lipo fire and NiMH's exploding actually scare me hahaha. May just flog it and get a Losi 8ight nitro or Xray or something haha.

@iio58 If you are comfortable jump starting a car Lipos are no problem. Get a hardcase name brand pack and lipo only charger. Store at half charge in an ammo box. I've never ever had a lipo go up in my 10 years of using 'em. But hey to each their own man enjoy the hobby!

[EasyDozit13]

Can wait for your review on this, it's taking long I'm guessing there's a tone of stuff you hate about it, still love your reviews though,

[lilmorris656]

the only thing i dont like abiut hpi is that there rcs are packed and its hard replacing stuff without taking it all apart

[jhuffmanjr08]

Sleepy731 yes you can

[Sleepy731]

Question for whoever knows the answer, I'm getting a savage flux hp today I have a few lipos on hand 2s 3s, but none of them are exactly the same mah or brands, can I mix and match the lipos I use on the savage? 2+3s or diffrent mah?

[EasyDozit13]

Hey I'm really not a fan boy at all I actually have more traxxas,losi an ofna's then hpi, it's just kinda obvious when you review an hpi product that even at the unboxing before you know the kit you can pretty much see you don't have any care for it, the flux hp is a great kit the flux xs is junk , anyway love your videos an I'm on your forum too with the same name, thanks for all your work guys love the info
