I got my savage x broke in. key word here is broke I got done braking it in. Got downto a half a tank of gas and my servo took a crap. One of my dog bones bent and I didn't even beat on it yet. do i have to send the parts in to Hpi to get my warranty or how does that work. but this truck is a beast.

ok thanks I will post pics of my truck when I get it back together this truck looks cool with all the stuff i put on it and the new body. Has anyone used those on board temp gauges before I want to get one but I'm not sure tower hobbies has those?

When ever I have to get in the diff to do some work. As long as the diff is good I dont worry about it.

Then maybe they wont send you anything. Really? complaining about having to send back parts in order to get replacemnts. Ask for an Inch and take a mile.

Try the spit test, a drop of water or spit will sizzle on the head at about 230F for 5 seconds or so before it evaporates.
Temp guns and the like can easily be off by 50F seen it many times..
If it takes more than 4 seconds for a drop of water or spit to sizzle off your good to go.
If your gun reads 230 @ 5 seconds on the spit test, just move your loop up the head until it reads the same as your gun.
Water don't lie.

What did you hit to bend a dogbone and kill a servo?

savage105

So, the servo was defective out of the box?

And you still drove your new $500 truck?

I will be getting one for my son for his birthday next month. We both have onroad cars (mines a hpi rs4 18tz, his hpi sprint 2 flux) we are ready for some off road action. I hope this truck can take a beating and hope the engine can hold up too.

Car-Tune

What size engine does it come with? a .21?

My Feedback: (2)

the engine is a. 28 and it will hold up, the savage is the most durable monster truck so u will be satisfied with the purchase of the savage x

That's weird that the dogbones are coming bent outta the box. Got a picture?

Also, that sucks that the servo died during breakin. Every first-run product has issues, they changed quite a bit on the new X4.6s.

SavagedXXL

Without a doubt, Savages are the toughest monster trucks out there.

Car-Tune

Thanks Guys!!

I had bought a spare servo for my truck so when the one died I just put my other one in there till I get the servo from hpi. I got a question on the new savage x has anyone been have a problem with the set screw falling out by the brake discs on the tranny cup mine fell out and now i only have front wheel drive. it also took out the threads but I got one coming from tower hobbies. let me know thanks
