Rob_Mitchell Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hey guys i have only been into nitro cars for a couple of years on and off. i have a HPI Savage. Alot of my mates have started to buy new cars and stuff, just for a laugh and something to do in spare time. Im looking into getting a new truck but whats on the market which is rapid in speed? I know there is a small minority on the forum who are into the nitro/petrol cars. help is much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I got one but it's been sitting pretty in my room. Isn't it to do with the one with the latest engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Ill have a ask around Jamesy. Alot of the stuff around now is far better than the savage 25 truck i have, i fancy something a bit better now and newer. The hpi baja is a bit too much for me but that buggy is insane lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rajinder Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 If it is petrol and 1/5 scale you like then Losi 5ive T 4WD is the hottest thing around. Expensive at £1000.00 or there abouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest i do BUT the price tag is a put off for something that is only used for a bit of fun. Losi 5ive T and the baja hpi are for serious users. anything decent for around £300-400? i was looking at getting another savage but a better/later example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy James Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 In Canada my mate had a savage and he got an updated gearbox with three speed w/reverse and a bolt on supercharger. Makes a hell of a difference in power and speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 In Canada my mate had a savage and he got an updated gearbox with three speed w/reverse and a bolt on supercharger. Makes a hell of a difference in power and speed. Drop a mini 2jz in it and strap on a single turbo !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Im thinking about selling the savage25 and getting a Savage X 4.6, they look like a decent replacement for fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulley Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Go for a traxxas rustler vxl 8000mah 3s lipo brushless setup 80mph+ hilarious fun Electric is way faster than nitro, lipo+brushless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulley Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 My Schumacher Cat sx2 running a 5.5 motor and 60c discharge lipo would do 0-80 in 2.5secs lol Awesomely fast cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
