HPI Savage X4.6 GT-6 Top SPEED Runs With 2 SPEEDS & Sand JUMPING - The Best Savage Video on Youtube

[@soblessed6438]

Hey Dmitriy. I enjoyed this video so much. One of my favorites you have done. The Savage is such a good looking truck. Tough and performance is really good. Great place to rip. Have a blessed day!

[@hybrid32494]

Happy and Blessed NITRO SUNDAY to you and your FAM Marion! I'm glad you liked this video, it was quite fun recording and running it, as you saw, I recorded it on XMASS EVE, lol, so it's truly BLESSED! in more way than one! aha . Anyways thanks you for being here and supporting me as always..

[@jerelima]

I have an tomahawk st for more than 10 years and wasnt running since the covid started. And last week I just got my engine clean and drop it (it broke a fin on the cylinder head) seeing the damage I almost got an heart atack . Nice to see nice people with love for old nitro rc !

[@foorcscale]

I just pulled the trigger on one of these. Took a chance on a used one I saw on ebay. Making nitro great again in the UK!

[@garrymiller8702]

Awesome vid man !

Glad you liked it!

Dude that thing is sick man! Thanks for entertaining us :)

hey man! thanks for supporting the channel and the NItroGang! I'm glad you enjoyed the video..

Sickening torque!!! Love that 2 speed!!! Awesome video hybrid!!! 👍

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! Thanks so much! Glad you liked the SICKENING Savage! More on this soon, including a real TOP SPEED TEST! with real Data.

[@Nerm78]

LOVE IT! The slow motion clips kick ass! 2 speed baby!

[@hybrid32494]

hey brother!! thanks man! Glad you liked it, this isn't the end, there will soon be a ramp on top of that sand jump, then I will really SEND it!! IT ran great, no issues, and nothing broke! So I'm happy!..

[@a.j.fresh3513]

Dude! I love it! 2 speed baby! Put it in the mailbox and sent it, priority status! Best running video’s hands down..!

Savage is back baby

[@hybrid32494]

you know it bro! 100% Savage 2-speed ACTION, lol! You can;t kill a nitro!

[@rcengland8227]

great video, I'm glad there are still big KZbinrs using HPI. Your vids help HPI users alot. Also you should somehow get Kevin Talbot to buy this truck and bash it. It is good advertising for HPI and when they have customers then they might restart production of some classics!

[@hybrid32494]

thank you for your support my dude.

[@craigengelman4534]

kevin just put up the video of the better savage wich is waaay better

[@sakisSAVAGER]

Hello brother! Great video.. I hear the cluch lose??? It's OK?? Because no whellies and sound rpm to high..

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! glad you're here! Always happy to have a real HPI guru collector like you here. Anyway to answer your comment the clutch is fine, it might seem like a different sounds because of the newer clutch springs engage later, but trust me the truck was running 100% good, nothing broke, and nothing needed adjustment from the factory at all. Next video I will do some wheelies for you, I was not going for this this time, you know.

[@motorkev]

Love it!! I'm still trying to get 2nd gear on mine. I did the 4 turns out today. And unfortunately it's still not shifting... and then before I try more adjustments the damn spur gear went out on me. Haha! Gotta love it! Nitro gang baby!!

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! Im sad to hear your savage is PISSIN you off!, this isn't good.. Anyways try the setscrew again, tighter it all the way in, and then back it out exactly 4 turns. Try again, let me know. Once you get the spur gear that is. Anyways, I'm sure you gonna get it running right soon!..

[@jeremiahrobles4038]

You are going to need to replace the clutch like I and a lot of other guys did. Almost all new ones come with a defective spring inside the clutch. It’s part number “hpi 86368” once you get that part take it out the package and go all the way in and 4 turns out. Then install. Guaranteed shifts, then you can dial the shift point from there.

[@fsauvage9281]

We clic and we have what we want : noise, smoke, nitro ! You are the best. Just bought an old 5.9 ! Not tested yet !

[@tonymanna9160]

Sick video bro!

[@hybrid32494]

thanks my fellow Nitro Brother!! this was a sickening video to make, almost ran into myself a couple times during the recording, lol. But the savage is 100% solid, nothing broke, and I only need new shoes now, hahaha.

[@SoulPurposeGarage]

Great video brother! Loving the Savage content! 💯💯💪🔥

[@hybrid32494]

thanks bro! Glad you liked the video, I dont jump often, but when I do I make sure its a Sickening Savage!!>

Hello nitro brother Do you use fuel filter??? What is your opinion about.

[@redblue40rc33]

How durable is the truck?

Great video bro! Makin me want one!! Oh btw are you planning on doing a exhaust upgrade, i think a aluminum tuned pipe would make her have some more pep. Also it would make it sound great to!!

When are you going to make a video

[@GoFastRC]

@@bill5934 i got one in the works rn, just need to record a bit more then i will start editing

[@teksrcs3464]

Howdy bro, cool video. I bought an HPI Savage X back in September, 2011, bought it for myself for Fathers Day, still got it and I like it. I should not have watched this video, now I would like to buy the latest one, just to keep nitro alive, mmmm, thinking about it. I think it shifts at exactly the right point.

[@xKmotx]

This is a fun, cool video! Your enthusiasm is infectious. Having a beach all to yourself is awesome.

[@wiwmusic1]

Love the style and your energy man. I was laughing watching you open the box with that kitchen knife. When you got to the zip ties I thought, this is gonna be hilarious. All your videos so far have been great! Don’t stop burning that NITRO man 💣💣💣📹📹📹🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!

[@Bikes_N_Adventure]

Nice bash brother! How would you say the Savage big block compares to the Revo 3.3 in terms of torque and power?

[@realazliving]

Is the gearing different on this vs the old model? I'm wondering if the gears are closer ratio maybe it doesn't sound the same. Another possible reason might be the adjustment of the slipper clutch. Real nice running truck though. The shift seems like it's at a good rpm to me.

[@noodlesracing117]

According to information at HPI website, the gearing is the same.

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! thanks for watching! Great comments, I will respond to the gearing question. I also though it was different at first, but it's the same. HPI claims to be the same gearing, only some extra reinforcing parts for the spur gear they say, which are not visible anyway. Anyways, I'll be doing top speed runs with this soon with accurate GPS data, thanks for being here..

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! yes! it is supposed to be the same gearing, thanks for the response to another fellow viewer! I appreciate it..

[@realazliving]

@@hybrid32494 well it seems to run really well. I wouldn't mess with anything but cleaning it then getting it dirty. Seems like a really nice truck.

[@realazliving]

@@noodlesracing117 thanks for the info.

[@tommest9934]

Between the hpi savage 4.6 and the traxxas 3.3 which one is better?

[@hybrid32494]

Hey buddy, what’s up that is a good question. They are both very similar. I would say if you want a big block, then the Savage is the way to go if you’re OK with the smaller track is 3.3 then the Tmaxx will not disappoint you. I love both to be honest with you. The Tmaxx is a little more user-friendly and more fuel. Efficient also has better parts support. They are about the same top speed. Click the link in the description you can check both of them out. They should be both in stock right now.

[@tommest9934]

Between the traxxas tmaxx 3.3 and the traxxas revo 3.3 . Which one is better?

[@mojarnugget]

hey @hybrid32494 do you think this new Savage can get a roto start?

[@manuelmaldonado6304]

Awesome video!

[@hybrid32494]

thanks bro!!

[@TheGhostman132]

Sound like a lot of slipper slipping... Or the thicker clutch springs are the reason for that....

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude! I though that at first too, but the reality is the thicker clutch springs engage later, so it sounds like it's raving alot and not moving. But trust me, the slipper is set to the factory specs and it's fine. It's the springs, for my purposes I like it. Thanks for watching and good observation bro.

[@terrykuehn2686]

Hey Hybrid! Great video of the Savage 4.6 out in it's natural elements ripping around! Love the handling of that Beast and fly's pretty good off the sand berm at the beach and nice adjustment of the 2 Speed Baby!😯😉📹👍👋💯

[@robeyckens8226]

Hey bro I've got a savage it doesn't shift can you please give me some advice on how you fixed yours ?

[@robeyckens8226]

I commented to early bro I'm sorry love your work!😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@hybrid32494]

LOl hey bro! Glad my advice was where it needed to be, lol . 4 FULL Turns from closed..Give it a shot. That was my first adjustment and pure trial and error, it's been good since.. NitroGang!.

Hi there big D, happy new year man, that’s an awesome truck, two speed baby , no doubt about that man. It’s a beast of a rig, lovin it lots, Nitro rules guys. That thing jumps like a pro. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧🍼🍼

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! Happy new year! This is the year of the NitroGang! glad you liked the video, I have tons more planned for this truck, it will blow even myself away! lol... I have commissioned a RAMP to be built for the top of this sand jump!! YES! truly Sickening!

[@jerryhagel2466]

Love your vids. I have a Savage 4.6 as well, where do you find parts as I am afraid to run mine and brake it, and not be able to find parts?

[@cwatson42785]

Epic bash brotha. I know what a mess the cleanup must've been with the sand.

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! Yes man, I'm not too big on SAND bashes and cleanups, therefore I didn't clean it up! This means we need to have an even bigger and better SAND BASH, probably have to put a ramp on top of that sand jump and SENT IT even more!! ahah, I'm serious.

[@cwatson42785]

@@hybrid32494 Heck yeah bro! This was great and that would be even better! Look forward to it!! Good idea to wait to clean it and take it for another bash! Smart man!

[@voneboy]

How your Doing Dmitriy? This should been one of the most epic footages which you ever make till now,what a pleasure to watch it!!! However, this isn"t the end result of the poweroutput of the engine,especially at the low end region ..I"m used to let the carb even after the regular break in procedure during the first half US Gal. relatively rich like yours.Only after the first half galon I"m starting to tune the carb in order to get more or less 90%-95% of the theoretical max. power development.Anyway I prefer to have 5-10% less power and a significant longer engine life,since it"s only for fun purposes. I"m pretty sure that this Savage would hit after this period more than enough torque in order to push some serious wheelies ;-) Thanks my bro for your amazing editing work in order to demonstrating all the world out there how great our Nitro hobby could be😎👍

[@shiftgear190]

How does this new motor compare to the old f4.6???

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! This is the same rating in terms of HP compared to the old F4.6 motor . This one has mostly cosmetic differences and the clutch springs are thicker. Also major difference is it's a pull-start engine. I'm very happy with it, it runs cool and starts easy.

[@GavinY]

the way it just idles and goes full throttle smoothly

[@mcjdubpower]

Gud vid 💯💥

[@youtubeviewer9523]

Holy crap, what a beast of a truck! I have a tough choice between a savage and baja, which would you choose? (I already have a nitro buggy)

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! welcome back! glad to see you here again! That's a tough choice, your really need one of both. But I will tell you that if you go with a 1/5 gas RC you will need a whole new sort of extra investment, a fuel mixing container, good 2-stroke oil, a kill switch and just lots of learning. But you gotta love the BAJA! The savage and a gas RC are totally diff, also the savage is a little faster than most Bajas RTR.

[@voneboy]

I would advise you that the only right answer is to have them both..A nitro and a Gas one are simply to different to compare between each other..The only thin that they have in commun ist the fact that both makes so much fun!!!

[@Mrefficientkobe]

Best to get both my guy tuff choice

[@youtubeviewer9523]

@@hybrid32494 thanks for the reply bro, I had my eye on a really nice savage, but I think that I want a gasser because they need little to no tuning and they are HUGE lol

what's up my dude! I see your JATO is running Rich & Loud these days! lol. Yes this savage is running pretty well now, took a couple tanks after break in but now it's making good power and the tune is fairly constant too. NItrogang!

quick little random question, that you had a vid out there 8 years ago. Do you still own that Honda CR-V? (2013 vid)

Hey dimitriy, have you seen the savage xl video HPI released? At first I thought it was gonna be a flux, cuz that’s what was on the body, but they were showing two xl’s with one of them having a different body color scheme, I think a new nitro savage xl is coming!

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude! yes! I talked about it in a live video about 1-2 weeks ago. It def was 4 savages and one was definitely a flux of the 2 XL models. this leads me to believe that one will for sure be a nitro. Lets wait and see. Good point!!! The XL models seem to have the double Cab style bodies, so could very well be a nitro..

[@superaidenproductions1870]

@@hybrid32494 I got a good feeling hpi wouldn’t let us down, been with that company forever, love them, so hopefully they hold out and hook us up with a new nitro xl, NITROGANG

[@chrisgonzales7857]

You should see which is faster the savage or t maxx

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! Good request! To be honest with you they will most likely be about the same, it will come down to how LEAN or Rich you run them both. The Savage has tons more LOW-END power, and they are both rated at the same top speeds of 45 MPH. But soon I will test the REAL top speed on this savage with a telemetry system.

[@4077661466jp]

Dam it cant do a wheelie !!! Man i really been wanting to try nitro,have all electric but for the price they want for that truck it better wheelie on demand !!! Ive seen the older xl or x savage nitro runs and they was wheeling none stop nearly backwards sometimes lol,dig the vids bro !

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro, how you doing! I've got it set up to avoid wheelies, there is no reason this truck can't do them. But the reality is, they are pointless, they get ZERO for speed runs and results in about a 50% flip rate. I drive the truck in such a way to not do wheelies you know. Anyways the NEW XL might be coming out soon, that I will wheelie just for you bro! thanks!!!.

[@katarinapeet9572]

Hey bro. I recently bought one of these savages and noticed a hole behind where the pressure line goes into the exhaust near the rubber boot that connect the header to the exhaust is this on yours?

[@hybrid32494]

hey! I honestly cannot find the hole you're referring to near the pressure fitting on the pipe. Could you please post a picture in the NitroGang Facebook group. I will take a look, and we could get other people's opinions too.

[@olivierplayer1633]

great truck but no wheelies capable ?

[@hybrid32494]

Wow that’s runs great 2 speed baby

[@cblack3470]

is it to rich on the lsn mine use to wheelie all the time

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude! I tend to run all my nitros rich and personally I dont really like wheelies, it's a waste of a nice planted speed run, and is tough on the gears. If I wanted to lean out the LSN and HSN it would be a wheelie monster though, you're right.

[@rooseveltrainesjr7618]

Way to go hpi.

[@furocity]

Sounds good. Feel like it should be wheelstanding on take off but. Maybe low speed needs a lean out

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! I was not going to for wheelies in this video, that's why the body is still in good shape, lol. Honestly wheelies dont do anything for me, even a basic old Tamiya lunch box can wheelie easily, you know. This savage has very good straight line speed and stability, id pick that over wheelies. Also I was running very rich as you could tell, any my goal was just to yell 2-speed BABY! ahaha.

never turn in all the way, sometimes it can stick in 1st gear!! just do a quarter turn at a time

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro how you doing! I've done the turn IN all the way method many times. As long as the spring inside isn't damaged, its the only way to re-set the clutch without removing it. Trust me, it works. The 1/4 turns at a time works when the system isn't somehow jammed, in this case the small adjustments didn't do anything, this is why I had to fully lock it, then go turn the screw back out. IT's weird, I know..
