HPI Savage 21 and Traxxas T-Maxx 3.3 NITRO BASH

Out having some fun with these 2 trucks. Savage .21 was recently acquired in very near new shape, T-Maxx is my trusty Go-To that has several upgrades, THS Pipe, RD Logics shock towers (adjustable), RPM all around and upgraded servos.

    Wow 3 tanks back to back I always consider myself lucky if I run tank & 1/2 without breaking anything lol great to see these 2 Riggs ripping it up my savage broke in half but the moter was still great & of course I’ve had umteen moters on tmaxx now it’s got the savage moter but I cant seem to get past 3/4 throttle without breaking anything in the tranny & parts are getting more expensive every time I use it but it’s such a blast great vid guys

    My Tmaxx has been very reliable to me. Last year I ran 3 gallons through it. I have broken things on it but it’s to be expected. I’m not gentle on it. The Savages are a new platform for me, I was always a Losi guy with the LSTs. I’ll be running the Savages more this year and posting some vids. Thanks for watching!

Did just see they’re putting out a new Savage Flux Hey HPI how bout updating the Nitro Savage? Say Savage .30 and bring it into the 21 century!

    I’ve been having success by replacing the bearings and Carb. Some say it’s not worth it on those engines but I like how they perform and after replacing the crappy bearings they do last a good while. If you keep running them with the OE bearings the engine will destroy itself because they will 100% start to have play and that play will destroy the con rod and then it usually takes out everything inside. I’ve been getting into the habit of just keeping the stock bearings in for break in and then swapping, or maximum 1 gallon, any more and you’re looking for trouble. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

They both run equally well just the metal body is the difference. The 3.3 in this video has Ceramic Boca bearings and an 11k carb, I’m loving this combo with the THS pipe, feels way different than a stock 3.3.

    Savage 21 engines last 8+ gallons because big blocks have lower rpms and never get overworked. Small blocks are lucky to hit over 3+ gallons because they hit higher rpms and get overworked.
