HPI Savage SS 4.6

What is better than a Savage? Two of them!!! I got a good deal on a Savage SS with engine K4.6 and I couldn't say know. Whats best ? While I have my X 4.6 with F4.6 engine with problems in the spur I could rip the SS with my kid and have great moments! I don't know how many liters have gone through the engine but it's strong and no problems at all, after reading some engine problems in the K4.6 I was a little apprehensive but I cannot confirm them.

I will post a picture soon but the kit is the following: http://www.hpiracing.com/en/kit/874 .  

HPI Savage X 4.6 Spur Gear

You know what is worse than a striped spur gear? Two striped spur gear!!!!

Eeermmm I mounted it and withou checking the motor place started and striped the spur gear right away!!!

After checking the screws were really loose and I don't know if they had threadlock... I need to buy threadlock and adjust the gear mesh, lets see if this one will hold!

After this my alternative is to buy an hardened clutch bell and spur gear.

HPI Savage X 4.6

It's been a long time.. I sold my Vorza (now I regret it) and was away from RC world...

Now I bought a Savage X 4.6 ! I never had a nitro but it was what i dreamed since a kid.. I should have bought a nitro in the first place but I have it now and it is great!

I have only played with it for a while and I love it! It's a monster, it eats up nitro pretty fast but hey that sound... I just bought my first replacement part, it seems that the clutch bell and spur gear weren't meshed properly and I striped the spur gear, will place pic soon.
