Wow this brings back memories from 18 years ago when got my first savage, the smell of nitro is bliss...the sound, it was all very exciting.. I fully updated all the drive train and bigger hexes everything on the car and the raido gear.. Sold it all in 2021..I wish I kept it..
The entire new Hpi savage nitro line up needs to be global news! The electrics too! It’s like actually a thrilling saga of the best toy equipment perfected over 3 and a half decades. Just tiny adjustments and changes make it perfect! 🎉
Good stuff man I just built my own savage from the ground up! I love the savage so much nothing beats this truck bashing when everything is dialed. The extra gearing is sickening.
Having trouble deciding between this and the regular X. Alot of extra goodies on the XL for just 100 more, but I do like how the smaller X is more agile and nimble. PS: saw you made a small hole in the body for the glowplug igniter! Good idea, dont know what HPI thought.
I’m like ecstatic! Take mine to the gravel and sand pits! With my bike, they’re like equally as amusing if not more worth doing 😂😂 the new 4.6 rips as well!!
Tune is dialed man, perhaps a touch lean but loads of power hey. You know I played padel here in Dubai with a friend of mine who knows you well. Saif? Anyway, it was nice to hear of some of the mischief you and him used to get up to. Keep ripping dude
Everything looks good out of the box? Or did you already fix the 3 speed transmission? Nice video man … can wait till nice weather coming than I’ll work on mine before that need break in first 😅👍🏼👌
Did you find you had to tune the gearbox later on at all? I'm looking to buy one of these but the gearbox issues put me off a bit maybe they did indeed fix gearbox on the later ones
So, after a year of ownership, whats your verdict on this car? Is ti worth the 700 bucks as it comes, or are there better choices for Nitro Monster trucks in your opinion?
I think this is the updated version for the same model because the logo on the side of the chassis look different some people complain about the transmission and diff can you confirm that please?
It's not too lean if it continues to work after how much he beat on it. My F4.6 savage sounds the same and it's still going strong after 2 years of bashing! 😅
Maaaan. I got a savage 5.9 i crashed years ago and i cant even find parts for it anywhere. Anyone got a good place i can go for them? Cant even find parts at hpi
There should be some o-rings under the fuel tank mount tabs. Assembler must have forgotten to put them on. Part number is 6899 Edit: Just saw you added some later in the video
@carbonelement77 my savage came out of the box missing the body clips that are supposed to hold the tank down. Rubber o-rings were underneath the tank but it was just sitting there.

Nice review and bashing
The legend rc truck😅
I'm not mistaken. The controllers are made by tactic
You should still be able to find an aftermarket battery meter that you could find a way to mount
Yes i think so !
You gotta love it!
I’m like ecstatic! Take mine to the gravel and sand pits! With my bike, they’re like equally as amusing if not more worth doing 😂😂 the new 4.6 rips as well!!
Awesome video I love the way you have it running and the it shifts gears. I the first Savage xl and I regret selling it . 🔥👍🏽🤙🏽🤩

Thanks bud :) haha yes we knew how to have fun
very nice video thanks !

i didn't need to to much honestly just adjusted 3rd gear shift point.
14:06 Dude! What is that orange sports car you have?! It looks INSANE!
😮
lands so smooth
You got some nice stuff man. I'm pretty sure you have some scale race cars too. Don't you? I'd like to see those sometime
Bad ass machine 😮 seems to delivers everything great about RCs... Almost
Awesome Truck and Review !!!!
they used to make fuel tank mounting upgrade for this. I think hpi offered it back when i had a xl 5.9 2 gen and it made the tank way more stable.
Nice ramp. Did you DIY or was purchased?
Great video!
This video makes me change my mind on this new XL 5.9. Like I always say you have wonderful toys man. How about fuel consumption?
Its not bad honestly just savages are not the easiest to control at high speed
@@carbonelement77 yeah because of the high, same happens with tmaxx
I have been trying to buy one for months and literally can't find a single truck in stock anywhere
Quá tuyệt vời 😊
When was this?
Did the 3 speed shifting right out of the box, or did you have to adjust the shifting point?
I prefer the look of the single shocks
Did you find you had to tune the gearbox later on at all? I'm looking to buy one of these but the gearbox issues put me off a bit maybe they did indeed fix gearbox on the later ones

Great video. I was thinking then same thing give it a coat for extra protection. I subscribed just off that 💪🏾
how has it been? Still reliable or not reliable?
I think this is the updated version for the same model because the logo on the side of the chassis look different
some people complain about the transmission and diff can you confirm that please?
You need to richen it abit lower your idle aswell
Kuanto kusta está makina em real por favor
Does it have half tank lean issue?
it did but what i did to the tank in the video actually fixed it
That is way too lean buddy
It's not too lean if it continues to work after how much he beat on it. My F4.6 savage sounds the same and it's still going strong after 2 years of bashing! 😅
No he's right, waaay to lean
Still can't argue with the fact that it's still working for him despite what all the experts think. FACT! @@VictoriaJones-gy8es
No preheat or nothing on break in huh? Wow guy.
any giveaways? 😅
it's 2023.. use lipo
Nitro all the way! Go HPI
Maaaan. I got a savage 5.9 i crashed years ago and i cant even find parts for it anywhere. Anyone got a good place i can go for them? Cant even find parts at hpi
EBay!
This truck has almost all the same parts. Just order off Amain
1/8 turn richer on high speed ..1/16 open on low it will be perfect its a touch lean everywhere its running on the ragged edge !!!
By now I would bet that engine has burned up being that lean. Nearly no smoke and sounds wayyyy lean.
Running fine so far with 50-70+ tanks ran through
There should be some o-rings under the fuel tank mount tabs. Assembler must have forgotten to put them on. Part number is 6899
Edit: Just saw you added some later in the video
There were but they weren't enough had to put another set above :)
@carbonelement77 my savage came out of the box missing the body clips that are supposed to hold the tank down. Rubber o-rings were underneath the tank but it was just sitting there.
low speed needle too lean! you can damage the engine
Sure. Works great after you fix everything and set up the transmission. Locktie every screw. $700!!!????? No thanks. Thats about a $400 truck 🤷♂️
im not sure but your engine doesnt sound goood its tooo lean there is no smoke coming out hes not getting power
