i dont care how many times ive done it before but doing a standing stop complete back flip is awesome every time, always puts a grin on my face......if they used the xl drivetrain and 3 speed and had good battery trays i think theyll have a hell of a competitor for the erevo for burshless mt bashers.

this looks very very interesting... hope it is based on the X and not the e-savage though.

ooh just went to HPI Europe and it is going to be the X chassis oh boy this will level the playing field traxxas

I want one! I guess the layout isn't all crap though. The motor is inside the tvp's which is a plus.

I like the single speed tranny with motor brakes. I may have to get that for my flm savvy... Sad to say that I have never even run that truck, and it must be at least 8 months old now...

very nice, maybe if the motor/esc set-up is for sale, i will buy it instead of the MMM combo...

btw, is it the same as the CC 2200Kv combo with the MMM v3:lol:

Just the same as the flux bl set...

Joram

yes it is the same but for some unknown reason as soon as everything gets HPI stamped on it the price goes up by $100

Joram 12.01.2008 02:26 PM

yes, but we aren't stupid, CC 4 ever!!:yipi:

I do like those motor mounts. Looks like a nice truck

If you had a choice for bashing the BL E-Revo or this Savage? I have only run a REVO. Never drove a Savage....

That should be a MMM V3 - V1 had no plugs on the ESC, V2 had only plugs on the ESC, earlier V3s had all plugs on the ESC, and newer V3s should have wires on the battery side an plugs on the motor side.

That's a tough one... If HPI had given this truck a proper longer chassis like it will NEED, then I would take this truck. In my experience the Savage just seems more of a beast, more authoritative.
