That is a great looking MT, and one that I actually envision of a gasser version of the Savage. If such is true and HPI does bring that to market, I will definitely buy one, even if it costs $2K USD (I am a serious Savage fan). And if this truck come out before -mas, I will snap one up immediately and even delay my goal of purchasing a Cleon I wanted to by by early next year!

If HPI indeed buy the rights and are cooking up a version to market, I do hope it is not watered down form this proto and I do hope they keep the 4WD shaft drivetrain in it. That is one of the key aspects of a Savage.
