HPI is a great company you can't go wrong with any of their products. I have the Savage XL and it is super tough and fast with LRP .32 engine. Don't know much about the bullet but from what I've read from a few people on here it's a great little basher. If I were you though I would pop for either one of the Savages, but I'm a go big or go home kinda guy. Chances are if you get the bullet you may after a while find yourself wishing you had went ahead and got a Savage. Both the X and XL are great trucks but I prefer the XL because of the longer wheelbase and wider stance.

or I'm thinking the HPI Savage X 4.6 for $600

I think that would be you're best way to go. Like I said if you get the bullet after having it for a while you may find yourself wishing you had went ahead and got the Savage. If you're thinking the X 4.6 the n why not save up another 60 bucks and get the XL. I have had both the X was great but I found myself upgrading to stuff that already comes stock in the XL. The 3 speed trans, aluminum clutches, bullet proof diffs. About the only thing I didn't do was get the XL chassis plates and heavy duty dog bones. I figured by that time and money spent I could just go out and buy one, which is what I did. I personally prefer the XL to the X because of the longer wheel base and wider stance plus all the stuff I mentioned that comes on it right out of the box. What ever you decide HPI trucks are awesome and you won't be disappointed with any of them. If you do decide on the XL I would suggest replacing the servos and selling the 5.9 engine and getting an LRP .30 or .32 both are great engines for under 200 bucks.

are there upgrade parts for the savage x ? iv googled but theres not muchh

 

[cwal1774]

Yeah but not much needs to be upgaded they are tough as nails. I've had my XL for two years now and except for the engine and some rear aluminum hub carriers and aluminum tie rod ends it's all stock. I love it it's reliablle as a hammer and just as tough.Iit doesn't need hundreds of dollars in upgrades to keep it running. And I bash the crap out of it. I'm talking huge air jumps like 15ft. in the air and distances of over 50ft. with some pretty nasty landings sometimes. It just keeps on coming back for more. I have landed straight on the nose, on the lid, cartwheeled it, flipped it, hit a tree and it just keeps on going.
