Just bought two used savage x4.6 myself. MAKE NITRO GREAT AGAIN!

[@hybrid32494]

NICE BUY bro! the Nitrogang is happy to hear that! We gotta buy up these older ones and make them run again, this way there will be more on the used market down the line! We can't let any nitro suffer and/or die!>

[@BASSstarlet]

wow!

[@thomasteigen2793]

I just bought myself a used hpi hellfire RTR. The engine is probably shot,but i have plenty of engines. For 25 dollars its a good deal anyway. Have a pristine ss i dont want to mess up,so my tought is to use this to spare the other.

Happy Birthday from the Nitrogang bro! And major congrats on the T-maxx 3.3, you're gonna love it dude. In my opinion it's the current best nitro monster truck you could get, in terms of overall speed-reliability-fun factor and parts support. Plus you can yell 2-speed baby!!.

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! You gotta be checking eBay/FB marketplace/Offer up on the daily. That's what's I've been doing, but I also like that kind of thing, you know. Best recommendation is the Savage X 4.6 if you could find one, it's highly standardized and still sold brand new, you should not have parts issues with them. In terms of 5th scales, look for a normal ROVAN Baja, great cheap way to get into the Gas Scene. Lotta cheap parts for them and tons of people who know alot about them willing to help u out.

[@rcshowoff5427]

Great deal on the Savage. I'd love to find that truck for that price. I did just purchase a T Maxx 2.5 for 150 on Ebay this weekend haven't received it yet .It was for parts or repair all the pic show it is complete with no broken parts..Can't wait ti it gets here I love a new project to work on.

[@nhansme]

Great buy bro 👌👌👍👍

[@jooonsRC]

You have convinced me to buy a savage x4.6 with reverse but I won't use the reverse babee, il get up and walk to my car, I bought a used savage, but in tip top condition, still with original parts, rx and tx, hump pack, roto start, 2 sets of glow plugs, spare brake discs, 2 bodies with minor scuffs, seller ran the savage infront of me also, added a 2 litre beetle juice fuel,glow plug ignitor, oem hpi spanner tool, instruction manual, a whole lot of spares and a huge carry box with all the chargers needed for around 280usd well in my money thats R4800 or zar4800,but I'm happy with it...

Yo! it’s been a long time dude. I’m the guy who bought that brand new (3 or 4 year old sitting in a warehouse) Savage X 4.6 directly from HRP and for that super low low price of $370 ($30 off coupon, no tax and no charge for shipping)…Thank you Chris from HRP!! Love the video as always. My Savage is running great! How’s yours been? Gonna get the Savage XL 5.9 when it’s available! Yea man! Nitro sound and smell…Just awesome!

hey my dude! glad to see you're checking out some of my vids! Sickening! Anyways, I rem back when you and I both got those NEW last gen Savages for super cheap. Mine is still in the box, I really have no need for it because I have another used one that I Run mostly. anyways, the new XL is a good value for the 699, and 30 dollar coupon. Considering th last gen XL cost about 590 when it was new, not bad.

[@williamoleary9330]

Yea man cool. The discipline you have not to have run than “new” (3-5 year old sitting in a warehouse) 4.6 is amazing….lol I started having kids and that stopped the RC hobby for a while so I missed out on the XL 5.9 That is not happening again. That beast is gonna be all mine and my sons. Heck if it’s that great I might just get him one for Christmas. Getting my original Losi LST & LST 2 back up and running by the weekend. They’ve been in storage for a while, but they are gonna be set loose soon and will never be back in the storage unit again. And they are in really good condition. I might even say great! Me and my son will keep watching! Thanks to the Leader of the Nitro Gang and the continued movement to make Nitro great again💪🏻

Those old tires have nice looking tread

[@hybrid32494]

yup man! those are the original SAVAGE 21 tires, they were terrific when they came out. Unfortunately the glue and the sidewalls of the tires just break down over time, and that is the main issue. If I used those tires, chances are they would just rip apart from the bead in a couple runs.

[@grandmasteryoda8588]

I saw this in the live stream teaser and that’s a great price for a 4.6

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! not bad right! But trust me, there are lots of surprises on this one too, it's never that easy. Even a basic thing like the Roto-start back plate being different, if I didn't already own so many nitros that would have been a disaster.

thanks bro! I got lucky on the deal, but trust me dude there are tons of things that needed to be fixed and worked on for this thing to run. I'm doing the second part video right now, and ran into even more issues.. Turns out the exhaust gasket is bad, the servo saver needs some work, and the radio was fully deal. Plus the included Roto-start is from a different model. No big deal tho, I'm taking care of it right now.

Looks a nice buy, save the new one for later👊🏻👍🏻

[@OzzybellaJenna]

I have a question for you hybrid have you ever had a runaway? also nice video

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! With a nitro I've only had a runaway 1 time (15 years ago with an old AM Radio). Currently I use very good FLYSKY radios with built in Fail-Safe features. There is almost no chance of having a runaway. As a backup on a nitro you could install a throttle return spring that will close the carb if servo power is lost. I did once have a runaway with a gas RC, ended in a bad crash and damage tho. A result of the servo itself having mechanical damage and getting stuck in full throttle position.

If you know of a piston or sleeve who are being subjected to constant abuse like this please report it to your state nitro commissioner, all submissions are treated anonymously.

Fact is, if he performed a proper break in and treated RCs like they should, the content would not be viewed by millions of kids, basically his main audience. They don't realize the effort and detail that goes into tuning a nitro at it's peak levels. Not good or bad, just mis-leading to those who know the reality. you know!
