Unboxing the Savage XL!

[Brian_BigSquidRC]

Hey guys!

I figure a few of you would appreciate these. I wont post them all here, don't want to kill and of the dial-up dsl people, but here are a few pics of me unboxing the new truck! It's huge! I posted a bunch more at BigSquidRC.com if you want to check them all out.

I'm charging batteries now, and getting ready to start the break-in. I'll post more after it's been run a little.

Nice! I cannot wait for HPI to release the K5.9 separately.

Just out of curiosity, while you're waiting for batteries to charge, is the engine part number listed in the manual?

edit; nevermind:

Early May. I wonder how long it would take me to wear out my F4.1.....

 

[GH Racing]

[Mattyfats420]

i say that in my local hobby town usa. they have one on display there. looks like another great basher as only as HPI can dish out.

man...........I'm jealous

I was told the one I have was early production. I don't think they ship in mass till May.

I'll get some footage soon.

just let us know how that mill runs,very interested to know how it pulls and tunes. not really worried about speed as much as torque.

def. keep us updated,please!

 

[BOUTCH]

You LUCKY, LUCKY man...and ya let us know how it feels....mmm 5.9...

 

[Scrogg]

Score! Be sure to give us plenty of feedback on it.

man, I'm thinkin about buying that one and selling the one i got, i dont know much about them and i think i need somethin i know will start up ...

 

[HeartBreak]

A 3 speed trans right out of the box.... That makes up for the wheel extensions.

 

[Brian_BigSquidRC]

Just posted a updated about how it's going so far.
You can read it all HERE. The short version.. it's rockin! The engine halls! It's got some serious torque, and when I have traction it can wheelie, which is impressive. Its been very durable so far, and fly's nice in the air.

It definitely draws a crowd at the track, everyone was coming to check it out.
More testing in the next few days.

I think they should have molded a body to match the wheel base of the truck. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking down about the truck or anything like that, it's an amazing RC. I just think that it would look better if the body matched the wheelbase better.

 

[joneser4u]

i believe it is longer than the regular savage body isnt it?

that trucks just really long.

 

[whipnet]

YEEEEEAH! Right on man!
