conversion kits for the hpi

[coactjet]

Was wondering if anyone knew who make the conversion kits for the hpi savage to turn it into a twin nitro engine. Thanks in advanced!

They did and are long discontinued. They pop up on ebay for outrageous prices. I think it's the hpi truckzilla.

I actually have an older savage xl I'm looking at building up as a twin.

Yes, long discontinued, at the time it was the hpi sister brand hot bodies that listed them. I think it was for two.21 engines. If you want less hassle and more power, drop in an lrp .32. Two nitro engines adds so much more fitting and then the tuning. But for the cool factor it's irresistible!

But the pissed off wasp sounds is priceless.

They now have adapter to mount 5b baja wheels and another company has a baja gas motor mount conversion kit.

The wheel adapters I've seen, the short lived savage 5t had them, a really stretched savage xl with the 5t body on it, and it was electric only. I just had a jaw drop moment thinking of a big gas engine in a savage, then my eyes popped out emigining a Taylor big block. But I think some dreams are best in your head. Lol

My savage x with the .32 lrp is of the charts with power, and I can barely tune it lean enough to get to a good running temp while keeping it on its wheels, a gas big block would just be crazy

Gonna have to look up the savvy 5t

Still learning on Taylor. Below is a savage xl with a 29cc baha motor. I'm sure a taylor would fit.

I'm thinking of putting an lrp .28 or .32 in my xl before I make it a twin motor.

Just dropped a LRP32 4.1 spec into my savage. Still breaking in the motor if the rain will ever stop. Ton of power even though it's running really rich.
