Pic is just a promo shot of a nitro Savage.

I can't wait to see more on this and I hope it uses the Savage platform.

Oh I will be getting this when it comes out. Hopefully it will be in a good price range.

 

[robmob]

I'm thinking it will be priced about the same as a Savage XL. At least I hope it is.

I can see myself getting one of these and getting rid of my ERevo Brushless. There is nothing easier and cheaper than running a gas powered rig.

What a sec, an 1/8 scale gasser? SWEET!!

This is big big big for noisy r/c lovers. :thumbup::thumbup:

If the engine can be fit into any big block nitro chassis then the 1/8 world is saved from becoming the biggest rc segment using blender parts

Wow... guess I'll be selling my savage to make room!

Anyone want a barely used baja? lol

 

[HPIguy]

I'm curious what they'll do to get the diffs to take the abuse from the TQ of a gasser.

It's about time! I've seen a neat 1/8 scale car that was gas. There may be a sell off in my future.

The torque of a gas motor is nothing compared to the torque of a brushless mamba monster on 6s.

True, but the Flux has had diff issues too when running 6s.

Oh my....I might be getting aroused. I LIKE the idea. I was a part of a focus group for HPI about 3 years ago and one of the biggest inputs I had was a Gasser MT. I guess enough other people had the same input.....oh man I DON'T NEED ANOTHER RC!!!....but I already want it...lol

I hope they base it on the Savage platform if they do I'm definately in! It would be nice to drive across town and get a gallon of gas for 3.49 than it would be to drive 50 miles for a gallon of nitro for 26.00. Is that Snookie getting punched in the face? Love it couldn't happen to a nicer girl!

 

[robmob]

Yep, that's Snookie the troll getting dropped. LOL

In the words of Peter griffin "pow right in the kisser. Pow right in the kisser. Pow right in the kisser..........."

 

[truggy83]

looks like he maybe grazed the dude in the middle with his punch but I would say most of the power transferred through middle guys face to her face. The more I watch this the more it almost looks like he punched her head clean off her shoulders.

I mentioned it in another post, but that was the only second of Jersey Shore that was worth watching. He was a summer lifeguard there and a gym teacher during the school year. He lost both jobs.
A small price to pay for clocking that dumb ass orange meatball.
He didn't hold back. That shot dropped her to the floor.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

Yea. It was amazing. Almost like a 1/8 scale gas powered monster truck from hpi smoking her grill at full speed. Lol

 

[cwal1774]

I can't stop watching it! It gets funnier every time!

 

[2revo1maxx]

They were gonna call that show "tool time" but it's already been used.
I hate those people!
