A small bump, I've been doing some googling since nothing has been heard about this truck. With the passing of rcx and another EU hobby show I was hoping that we would have some more light shown upon this beast.
The best that I've found is this [link=http://www.hobbymedia.it/43901/hpi-savage-xl-octane-4wd-monster-shizuoka-hobby-show]Click Me[/link], one or two new pics without the engine and there info platter talking about sometime in the summer for an unveil of some sort.
The only other thing i found was these links that i'm not sure if they mean anything but one of them has hands on pictures.

Since user [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=11487531]Crop[/link] talked about OS being the manufacture behind this engine, I thought I would check O.S. to see if i could find anything and I came across this. A heli model but this is the closest thing that resembles hpi's. [link=http://www.osengines.com/engines-heli/osmg1915/index.html]GT15HZ Gasoline Engine[/link]
The last thing worth noting is this facebook page that shares the model sport link but he posted a date? :[link=https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?id=121577511247980&story_fbid=439801179430973]10.6.2013[/link] Which is a possible release date?
Here's the pic of the facebook page for people who don't want to go to facebook.
