New HPI Savage X 4.6 GT-6 (2 Year Long Term RESULTS) Is the Savage Still Awesome?

[@Dylan-og9lv]

Had a Savage X 4.6 find me, it was left for dead under a pile of dust, dirt and rubbish for 5 years. Made the fellow an offer and he let me have it. It seemed to have only run a few times before it was parked and forgotten about. Came home and cleaned it up, replaced only the air filter. Soaked the engine in nitro for 3 days. Had my kids shouting 3 SPEED BABY !!! Sickening. Another nitro to never let go of, a family heirloom along with my Revo, Havoc, 3 Jammin buggies and a Hobao buggy. Keep the videos coming, I have learned so much about nitro and rc from you my dude. Thank you and keep it running rich. From sunny, nitro loving South Africa.

[@hybrid32494]

What's up my fellow Nitro Brother! Sounds like you got PROOF of "you cannot kill a nitro" lol. Seriously! Did u say the Schumacher HAVOC? classic right there, and very rare (I dont even have one, lol).. Greetings from NYC to you my dude, and keep representing the NitroGang over in South Africa!!

[@Dylan-og9lv]

Thanks for the speedy reply Nitro man Dimitri, Shumacher Havoc, also a rescue animal. Got my hands on a Kyosho Fw05 yesterday, Still original but in need of lots of love. Keep the videos coming. I've watched every single one of your videos, some more than once. Take care of yourself and the nitro hobby.

[@Dylan-og9lv]

How many nitro cars do you own ?

[@Dylan-og9lv]

Apologies, not 3 speed, 2 speed BABY !!!!

[@hybrid32494]

Only the REAL Truth Here - Thank you for sticking with this channel everybody. So tell me what you think, savage GOOD, GREAT, or SKIP it!

[@playanddisplay3636]

Great video very useful. Been a subscriber for years now. Will buy a Savage once my bank account looks ready. Probably an XL. Been in the nitro Gang Air Force for about 3 years now and even built a hydroplane with a .40 OS nitro engine. Need to have that 3 speed baby!

[@Andries.Buskenz]

It's good. Gonna need aluminum clutch shoes and the upgraded diffs

[@lowellfunk8974]

I've had my Savage .25 SS for 20 years this year, bought new in '03! I just bought a new Savage X 4.6 (gt3) on Saturday 28th Oct '23 in Calgary! Can't wait to break it jn and run it with my SS. Keep on Nitro truckin gang!❤❤

[@AntiHero4.6]

Thank you for this video!! I have every HPI model except a 5.9 and was nervous to buy a V2, I only have V1s. This video changed my mind and my 5.9 V2 was just delivered today! 3 SPEED BABY!!

[@Lucas.stalcup]

Thanks! NITRO GANG FUNDS 2 months

[@hybrid32494]

Sickening bro! thank you! Telling out the nitrogang keep it REAL!!!

[@brandonpfister]

Thank you for this long-term-use review. I appreciate you doing this! It is interesting for me to compare reviews of this new Savage iteration.

[@hybrid32494]

Hey my dude! Im. glad you found this video useful, that was 100% my intention to help viewers out decide if they should pick up this newest generation savage and to give a truthful long term review. The. bottom line is the Savage CANNOT BE KILLED!! I hope you get it someday.

[@brandonpfister]

@@hybrid32494 I appreciate what you do for this part of the RC community, and also the industry, and finally, the companies. Yes, I would like to have one of these!

[@nomusicrc]

Glad to see it's still running good I like that you take care of your nitros like I take care of my RCs

[@hybrid32494]

thank you dude!! Yes, this savage really never let me down and it's still like new even after all those runs in the sand and jumps. After the sand it wasn't even tough to clean, just some minimal cleaning really and it still looks like new!! Thanks again!

[@lawrencewinter]

Cracking content as usual Dimi. The nitrogang appreciates your efforts. I like the 4.6 because it wheelies very nicely, the gearbox seems more reliable and the fuel consumption is less than the XL. Good point about the throttle trim knob. I installed a fancy reciever for a high end sanwa radio for one of my nitros. Adjusting the damn throttle trim was a pain and I really missed the HPI trim

[@hybrid32494]

Hey my dude! I really appreciate you being with the channel over the years and your through comments (I hope others read them and learn something). Anyway, totally agree on the efficiency of the 4.6 model, the XL is a Nitro Guzzler! LOL, the things which need to be manual KNOB trims are throttle and steering trim, totally agree.

[@motoguy7832]

Great video bro.

[@hybrid32494]

thank you my fellow NITROGANG brother!

[@boxingmma6458]

Just picked up a 3speed transmission for my 4.6 can’t wait to install it for the summer 3SPEED BABY big love from 🇬🇧 England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@xNicholasWolf]

16:05 curious to see the hump pack mentioned. link wasn't provided, yet. Might get a 5.9 eventually and I haven't owned a new Nitro in a while so I need all of the things. Getting parts for a Nitro Stampede got tough, it turned into a shelf king.

[@hybrid32494]

Hey my dude! I forgot to add the link, here is one. just for you with the identical humpp pack I use. amzn.to/3ZnWvGM Yes man. trying to run a vintage nitro like the stampede is not CAKE anymore, I hear ya! I highly recommend you look into the traxxas t-maxx 3.3 also.

[@Andries.Buskenz]

Still loving mine. Been through quite a few of the plastic pipes though! Metal hpi one on the way. We meed more Savage Content!!!

[@hybrid32494]

And, happy to see you here, I will have a couple more awesome Savage videos, coming out shortly, including the original Savage 21 and the last generation GT six model. I’m curious, why are you having plastic pipe issues I have never ran into issues with those tights ever.

[@Andries.Buskenz]

@@hybrid32494 The nipple for the fuel line for back pressure to the tank tends to break free from the pipe itself. Leaving you with an exhaust leak and no way to prime it! Love the savage content!! Good thing youre keeping the older models and hobby alive. A bashing video with the new xl would be appreciated. I plan on picking one up and just wanna see if its worthwhile adding to the collection on top of my 4.6

[@craigengelman1369]

the best thing to do is toss the exhaust and get a rd logics mid pipe , steering servo over 500oz and a controller with a gyro . personally i have a gt5 and a reefs 500 in mine . after that its a whole new beast .

[@pichurrc]

Yeah man! Savage for the win! I also have this one in particular and it's amazing! I have to break in to see the gear change if it does...although I should! Greetings from Spain Nitrogang!

[@bongdudugenio9947]

HPI was best back then (2 have owned Cerca 2009) time owned again probably XL. Thanks for your time and ideas.

[@Savage7468-p3v]

Awesome! Two speed baby!!

[@hybrid32494]

Thsnk you my dude!! Nitrogang truth is here!!

[@layback209fixorsmash3]

Yup, i will buy a gt-6 v2 one day. You can NEVER have to many Savages. It is ubiquitous as the nitro monster truck basher! I got the wr8 re-release, ill get off my wallet the second there is an SS kit option. 😀, remeber those. I know its dwarfed by the rtr market but, i think there is market space hear. Hope the baja kits are doing well. And am always excited to see what hpi cooks up

[@b4dt3mp3r4]

I thought theu came stand with the bullet proof diffs? And the truck no shifting could be due to the 2speed clutch put in wrong way round from factory maybe

[@Andries.Buskenz]

I can't seem to find the body's cut out for the nitro, can anyone else?

[@electricnitrorc]

Nice going through. Have been looking at this truck since day one. It's pricey but hopefully worth the price. You think the 5.9 is better value for the money? You haven't had any problems with the plastic spur?

[@TRuffin]

Peace brother My neighbor has a basically stock brand new savage x that i might purchase. (He ran 3 tanks and placed back in box for all of these years) Is it worth buying this version over the current model? If so What upgrades can i purchase for better handling and lower center of gravity and speed?

[@jnyc10306]

Hey. Wayne left a starter and glo plug at the track today. Maybe you can help me get it back to him.

[@FIPackage]

Do you have th XL too with the 3 speed? Any plans to get the 3 speed?

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! Yes, the XL has the 3-speed and the awesome larger 5.0 engine. There is a link to it in this video. Im about 50% sure I will pick it up.

[@harlemNYCrc]

Two Speed Baby!!! 🔥 my next pick up. 💯

[@hybrid32494]

Whats up my bro!! Happy to see you here, this is a great nitro truck!! You're gonna love it. From all of my driving and vids not a single thing has broken! You literally cannot kill it.

[@firedog9113]

Think I'm gonna wait for Black Friday or Cyber Monday and order me a few new nitros and maybe one electric big boy, just gotta wait and see what is offered

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! thanks for checking out this video. Unfortunately there are rarely any NITROS on sale for the shopping holidays anymore, because we are just super limited on the brands we got. Last I remember only. ARRMA goes on sales, and crawlers. The nitros are pretty consistently priced the past few years. Although we can look forward to it, I know I am!!

[@firedog9113]

@@hybrid32494 I hear ya, just have to wait and see. Besides, some sites are scammers when it comes to nitro prices, if they below $100, more and likely a scam

[@AlCasa52]

I understand the XL was having problems with staying in stock and some people went with the 4.6. But the XL is much better value in my opinion. For $100 more you get the 5.9, 3 speed, aluminum tuned pipe, extended chassis, rroto start with the starter, and I think an upgraded radio. Great value for $100 With respect both are sickening 🤙🏻

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! YOu're totally right, at this point the Savage XL is the best one to get for the 100 price increase. The newest models have had all their early issues corrected as well, and the 3-speed is no longer a problem. I will begin savage for one myself.

[@robotic502]

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! I value your viewership and opinion but I will say the Savage will never die! I mean comparing it to an electric is not justifiable and wrong in my opinion, especially some arrma granite. You just gotta accept nitro Vs electric differences and be happy you know!! Anyways bro, see you again on the next one!!

[@hardtobear4876]

deben cambiar esa caja central de cambios de plastico a aluminio porque los tornillos se barren del sistema de frenos, los frenos de papel son una basura por eso no compré esa camioneta de nitro...

Great

[@hybrid32494]

the question remains, should I pick up the SAVAGE XL?

[@LOVE2RC]

Nitro. What ever floats your boat i guess. i used to like it back in the days but iv moved on from all that sticky nitro rubbish that makes an absolute mess and All the tuning an pull cords snapping glow plugs failing an not to mention people moaning about the noise and the fact its a hpi savage i have a hpi savage xl flux it's just as bad as the nitro savage 😂

[@michaelinzitari]

I’ve moved on from being a total noob who doesn’t know how to use a fuel bottle, who doesn’t know how to tune, who doesn’t know the importance of preheating and doesn’t know how to tune rich and loud. Let us know when you are ready for a raw visceral encounter experiencing NITRO correctly because unlike you we are not haters and are here to promote the truth about running RICH & LOUD

[@michaelinzitari]

I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you’re after tuning advice all I can tell you is TRIAL & ERROR. But what I do have is a unique set of skills that makes tuning a nitro a nightmare for a noob like you. My tuning screw driver is very long and only has a 4mm flat tip. No matter where you are, I will find you and show you the roto start and heat gun so you never break a pullstart again
