HPI Racing's General Getting Started Guide

Here is a brief look at how to get up and running with your HPI RC car or truck.
Be sure to check out the Big Block, Small Block, Baja or relevant getting started guide after this to ensure you get the most from your kit!

I modified my top caps by modifying the cap to take a bleed screw you can buy alloy ready with bleed screws from Fast Eddy until I went over to Threshold remote ressie shocks on my 5B and Innovative-RC big bore shocks on my 5SC.

I second that Aussie RC! I would like to see the 2.0 versions on all their 1/8 electric off road kits.

I like this but there's no mention about the new transmitter/receiver technology, not everyone is running on old crystals now, my truck still does and I highly recommend that you change to new electronics because of the reliability, on my truck the crystal in the truck fell out while driving over mildly rough terrain and it went full pelt across the field into a fence, thankfully though it didn't go the opposite direction and into a road well away from where I was.
Either way there's 2 things you should do that is a high priority subject.
1. Prevent a RUNAWAY! Get yourself a kill switch, visit KillerRC's website for kill switches for nitro and 2-stroke. It doesn't matter how new your technology is, a good kill switch like KillerRC's will save your vehicle even if the on-board battery fell out like mine has a couple of times.
2. Upgrade the technology if it's still using crystals, using 2.4ghz is by far better due to the flexibility, you don't have to change anything to run with other models, it has a bandwidth that automatically adjusts the to serial number in your car's receiver.
Apart from that this video is great for all type of vehicles, not just HPI brands and that is the great thing with this channel, they recommend and not restrict. but the principle as mentioned can be used for all models.

Wow crystals! When was this video first made.

Release the Octane! I want to sell my Revo and run all gas. I bought a 2014 5B SS kit and love the run time and ease of use of gas.

If I do a schoo. project it’s on hpi savage 4.6, if I do a science fair I do a upgrade that wasn’t done before on hpi savage 4.6

hello please help me I have a mustang sprint 2 flux and although I charge the battery I do not hear the beep beep I used to hear when I plugged in the battery and although I move the direction the vehicle does not start either forward or backward, just move the direction. What could it be? I measured the voltage of the battery with a tester and it says 9.6v...regards!

We need a new Savage

[@KingAhimz]

i still kept the crystal type of radio :)

[@kerrymcmaster3643]

Hi could you please help me find a code for my hpi savage x f4.6 . Think it needs a crank shaft bearing. Thanks

[@Nickwillfixit]

Do they still supply the plastic tool to fit the nyloc nuts into their seats, I still keep a couple around but mainly not needed as most of my parts are alloy so nuts not required.
