The best savage race by... Rico from France !

Hello everybody !

This is the new race savage which was born in France this year with a weight of 3.961Kg without body and nitro !

You will say... how does he make it ?

To know it... read this post and i’m sure you will understand why my friend Eric can make this project of a race savage.

Time to do it : (depend of your banker Laughing

) 3 month and 15days, because you need time and money... and sometimes bits aren’t in stock....

Let’s take place at the pictures :

The engine :

He used the stock engine : HPI K4.6 of the savage X SS kit
And he puts :

- rotostart backplate

- HPI engine mount option
- HPI low cg engine plate option
- Nova Race Pro "Cool Weather" Head
- Vantage racing exhaust pipe in-line
- Pro-Line air filter

The 2 speed transmission :

- savage X speed box
- derlin 48T spur gear
- Integy brake stopper alu
- Integy spur gear adaptor alu
- Integy carbon brake
- HPI titanium gear shaft
- HPI titanium idler shaft
- HPI titanium drive shaft
- HPI light weighy idler gear 29T
- HPI light weight drive gear 32T
- HPI aluminium drive gear 18-23T
- Aceracing bearing

The radio box :

- home made carbone plate 0.5mm
- Spektrum DX3.0
- Lipo regulator
- Lipo battery 800mah
- Hitec HS 5945
- HPI SF4
- Ofna servo linkage kit
- GPM alloy fuel valve mount

Chassis :

- HPI lcg tvp carbon fiber
- Aluminium screws
- Ofna 125cc fuel tank
- GPM alu motorhaltestrebe

- Vantage carbon arms
- HPI suspension conversion set
- HPI Hellfire shocks

- Savage X skid + shock tower + bulkhead
- Original diff
- Jdcarbon carbon fiber arm pins
- HPI 17mm hex hub conversion set with cvd dogbone
- Kyosho wheel 17mm hex
- Pro line crime fighter mt tires
- 3Racing titanium tire rod
- GPM Titanium hinge pin set
- GPM titanium tie rod black

And to finish the body... he doesn’t know yet what colour he will paint it like all people I think ! Laughing

But here he wants somethings good but simple... not a lot of flamming or I don’t know what. Ohh I forget it...the body is HPI Dodge Charger !

It's wonderful no ?

And a few math to finish and see how the project is perfect for the moment :

His savage without nitro and body : 3.961 kg

His savage without nitro and body but with HPI cooling head : 3.990kg

His savage without nitro, body and wheel : 3.165 kg

His savage without body but with HPI cooling head and nitro : 4.096 kg

I think we couldn't make better for the weight for a savage... Twisted Evil

He doesn't buy it but he think to buy HPI Phlatline tire and wheel... :

Other pics of the finish version :

And his family... you can say... HPI poweeerrrr ! Twisted Evil

And here you watch the video of the first fuel tank...

That is a very beautiful truck!

Simply outstanding!

That is a beautiful truck good luck with it. I actually really like how the C-10 truck body looks on there, simply beautiful

its a ford f100

Meh what ever it is still looks great, eyes are bugging me from heat cycling the LRP, lots of smoke haha

lol know how u feel

wow thats a nice truck. no expensis spared on this one.
that will be a most excellent racer

i have to say, that is one of the best looking trucks i have ever seen. best of luck to ya. any other vids? i love tlooking at this thing lol

That is a beautiful truck. Nice layout on the radio box and carbon cover. Almost too pretty to even get dirty.....I like the look of the anodized screws until they start falling out and you don't have any more to replace them....but Nice truck!!

That is definitely one of the prettiest sav's i heve ever seane ! Wink

Nice work men =]

awesome truck.

Gorgeous! Beautiful! I love it. I think perhaps being a racer it should have some 40 series dish tires and low profile bow ties or similar, but apart from that it is stunning.

Great job!! Come back with some more videos when you get more fuel through it!!

Well done!! Lots of time and money!! but a sweet ride!

Just wondering how well those derlin gears work/last? I have seen some on ebay to do the tranny for like $40... Worth it??

Hello all,

Thank you for your comments, my friend is happy that you like his savage Wink

For the videos, my friend bought a camera but now he has to test it etc... and after that he will post good videos !

KiZ : my friend puts standart wheel and tires because the principal aim was to have the lightest savage for the best racing sav...

But he has to test it and see how the savage feels and regulate what isn't appropriate.

Don't forget, it's a project ! Laughing

jlmoto : he has just doing the statics fuel tanks, so no prob for the moment with derlin gear Laughing

I don't understand what you say by "the tranny for like $40" ? You want to konw if he pays $40 for the spur gear ? Noo, just 5-10$ ! lol

there is a guy on ebay selling a set of gears only (not the whole trans) made of derlin for the transmission for about $40....I was wondering if they are worth it for the weight savings or stick with the steel for strength...

News !!!

My friend receive the HPI phlatline wheels bought on Liquid-rc shop.

There are wonderful ! It gives to the savage a great look ==>

The weight without body and with

- stock cooling heads : 4.278kg
- nova " " : 4.249 kg

He has also buy the painting for his savage's body... and he waits for it now !

Bye.

*censored*.... that thing is sweet... I LIKE! reminds me of an on-road car with those big wheels. Nice setup, but i would ditch that body. thats my 2 cents.

I was not impressed with HPI Land Rover Defeneder body. But it looks awesome on your truck. The colors you picked look alot better then the red hpi did

How do the Hellfire shocks work on the savage?
