- Seriously! I've driven many, many RC cars and trucks through the years, and the HPI Racing Savage X Flux V2 is probably the most FUN rc car out of the box I've ever driven. It drives perfectly, this video is pretty much one continuous take where I only had to flip the car over once. This is only my second battery pack through the truck!
I have other concerns about the truck, but there's no denying this thing drives AWESOME! I paid for this truck myself, so you know I'm giving my honest opinion!

What a truck. That was a solid bash session!
Great truck and excellent driving skills, love the long clips, shows the true story 👍
I wish i could like this twice! I have one and look forward to following along with you as you tune and upgrade. I have nowhere like this to run mine but its definately #Savage even in my parking lot!
thanks!
Backflips for days. Great vid!
Thanks!
Great spot mate...perfect line jumps...keep going👑
epic bash! even saw sasquatch came out of the woods to check it out at 3:09
Very impressive.i cannot believe the beating that truck took on those jumps and landings
I don’t care what people think I bleed savage they will
Always be my go to truck !!
Excellent driving
Thank you 👍
Amazing driving skills. Very well controlled, even with double flips. 👏 wow 👌
Thanks 😁
They are fun I used to love my old-school nitro savage!
makes me want to get a nitro!
@@RazorRC Go for it!! I will have a nitro RC video soon! Took one of mine out actually two of them the only two I own now.
Man I love the track your at looks like so much fun and that truck did you just show me my next truck
Cool rc and awesome run
thanks
needed my sunglasses to watch ;)
imagine trying to drive the truck at the same time, and you'll be even more impressed! 🤣
more savage content!
I only owned 1 Hpi, the Wr8 Ken Block Rally and it was AMAZING and incredibly fun!!! ONLY RC I could full throttle on road and do a full 360 without it flipping it. I'm pretty sure I saw fresh-squeezed RC do it as well. Anyway, I got it when it was 500 and only sold it cuz the body was like $100 to replace and parts were very hard to find! I couldn't find any Wheels and the stock wheels I couldn't buy again. This was 2019 and now it's like it sells for like 200 more. I had a friend that had the Savage xs and that was also insanely fun and brutally tough.
the WR8 is legenday, wish they still made that car
Ohhh the little XS was mini monster. 65mph out the box on a tiny monster. Thing would do standing back flips at speed. I also had the wr8 flux and it was build like losi 8b with shorter arms and rally wheels. Boy was that thing aggressive. Miss the hpi rigs
@@RazorRC this comment aged very well
I remember building my savage mini or whatever it was called. Super fun
Too many years ago to remember all the names maybe xs it was called
Yes XS
I have the same opinion. This truck drives awesome. A little bit to pricey and there could alu shocks and some other things. But the fun faktor is on the ride side
for sure! needs some improvements, but what a great driving truck.
Are there steal diff cases for the savage X XL v2 flux ? i know this one has a centrer diff the old ones dont i hear.
Been wanting this truck for so long and watched this video so many times .... finally seen it here in Australia going for almost half the price and pulled the trigger ! Cant wait !
half price, that's a steal!
@RazorRC for here its a good deal .... normally close to 1100 ish dollars new 😄
How did you go with it, looking at one for $800, looks like a great truck but so many negative reviews
Dang!
Wow that's a bold statement Razor lol. I'm looking forward to final thoughts. I wanted one so bad but 2 things have turned me off...The price, almost 800$ seems pretty high for a 1/8th scale and 2. I'm worried about long term part support as let's be honest while hpi is one of the more older companies it seems this revamp might not be cut out for the long term which also concerns me.
the price is high, I ain't gonna lie. parts support can be iffy, but the new ownership seems to be putting money into it and trying to get parts support up to date.
@@RazorRC Yup I agree. What had me concerned was those budget model jumpshots that came out about a year ago I guess alot of owners had trouble finding parts for months. Time will tell, im gonna try to be optimistic as I want them to succeed for sure!
Amazingly, its not too expensive in the UK £629 vs the typical £649 of an Outcast EXB. Looks fantastic fun and almost always seems to land on its wheels. One shock after such a lot of big jumps seems pretty reasonable ! Cant wait to see how it does against the even cheaper MT8.
I'm stuck between the 2, typically I've always had hpi, but not sure which to order.
Talk about "send it"...Great video..Now I have to look myself in the mirror and admit I'm not going hard enough! lol
🤣🤣🤣 I watch Rich Duperbash videos and then say the same thing!
How is the XL comparably?
I must say, that truck looked dialed as few brother👀👊. Speedwise, seems more then nuff?, awsome jumps🥰
yeah, enough power for me for this location, pretty dialed out of the box!
@@RazorRC looked killer, made me want instant brother 😱, sadly we have fee HPI stuf ova here 😢
@@TpPartsRcXtreme Wait, Vestergaard is Scandinavian and it costs more in Sweden than other countries?
@@RazorRC ahh, sorry, ment "Few" HPI parts over here.
Broke my rear upper a-arms...are they same as original Savage X/XL?
Hey razor, how do you like stock servo. I have nitro savage x 4.6 and stock servo was very weak, and servo saver from the factory was very loose, could barely steer it. They didn't install central drive shaft from the factory :). Throttle servo stripped on the 3rd run. Steering servo works fine in stampede, but not savage. Hopefully they improved electronics and quality control from back in the day
That stock servo is weak.
it's pretty weak, but doesn't hurt the driving too much
Would like to know what you think of it when outfitted with a center-Diff.
I probably won't get one, it drives so good already
How would you rate it compared to the 1/8 outcast? Durability is my Question for HPI, the power I know is lame in the Arma but durability?
worse? I don't know, this is only the second pack I've put through it. but there are some weaknesses for sure.
Makes me want to go buy an HPI Savage. Great Video. Are parts easy to come by?
not really 😅
Plenty on ebay
That's what worries me. I don't know if hpi will last another 10 years or 10 weeks tbh. That's a big concern for a 800$ truck that could turn into a paperweight in 2 years.
@@cwatson42785 a possibility...
@@RazorRC That's why we live vicariously through you Razor! Lol
In your opinion, how does this compare in durability to the maxx?
other end of the spectrum
Man u look young in skinny in your shadow 🤣. Man I thought u would been kinda Chucky guy way u talk. Thang I wrong. Nice bash though 💪💪💪💪💯
it's the good lighting 😀
Looks like a fun as truck. Can't get them here 😶
really? might have to fly to australia to pick one up!
@@RazorRC Actually after a bit more research there is a LHS that stocks HPI . Not sure they have this model but oh man they are pricey 🤔
Hey better than mt410?
I have always been an HPI fan and hope they make it back, but $750? At $150 more than the 6s Arrma HPI has made some very questionable decisions. Single sided shock support on plastic towers without any kind of tower brace. Plastic, non-threaded shocks. Does not come with center diff. 10kg servo. Dog bones all around.This thing should $150 less, not more.
yeah, that's really the main problem with the truck -- the price is way too high
I agree with the plastic shocks and towers and no center diff. But it doesn't need a tower brace, it has two aluminum vertical plates mounted on the chassis. I'm not an automotive engineer but I'm sure that two vertical plates provides more chassis rigidity than a tower to tower rod.
@@geodude3966 tower brace not needed for chasis, but for the towers. Those towers look like they will snap easily with a roll or roof landing the way they sit way above chasis with no brace. Yes, the vertical plates provide a stiffer chasis and eliminate the need for tower to tower braces, but the towers can use some support.
Is this better than the maxx or xmaxx?
what makes one car better or worse than another?
Nice. I just don't like slippers or how the trucks sounds. I always feel like you are losing power with them. And this truck is pretty big for a slipper TBH. And then there's the $700+ price tag. Those two factors are a turn off for me, but it's just my opinion. Thanks for the video bud
Liked this one better than the nitro version? Nitro has something…
Man don't tell me that. I'm really trying to avoid buying one of these
Looks like a lot of fun, a big 4x4 monster truck with a near locked center clutch and big chonky tires is always a recipe for mayhem. But for $765 it's way overpriced compared to the $750 Outcast EXB RTR and is leagues less durable, I think only HPI fans used to 2010 durability would pick this up.
it's definitely a niche truck and probably not the best choice for most people. but if you can drive it (and keep it running), it's freakin' amazing.
Cant be more fun and definitely not as durable as the MT410 hehehe!!
Kinda true, though it drives better than the stock MT410. Once I got the Tekno dialed in though… 👍😀🚀
@@RazorRC Interesting!! Well that makes it a good rig if it even compares to the Tekno 😁
Nah. Losi lmt #1. Can't send it like that stock, but there's more to RC than constantly jumping.
need to get one, one day
@@RazorRC just don't bash it like that without the aluminum treal axles! Once you get those it's bulletproof and the most fun rc I've ever had since 1985. A very different and realistic monster truck deriving experience. Now I'll need a nitro savage!
I have to admit, I was NOT impressed with the unboxing! It seems like HPI is trapped in the nineties (for the most part) but, damn, if that wasn't impressive (well what I could see with the glare, lol) 👍
i used to think the same thing about my baja.....until hpi folded and i cant get anything but chinese knockoff replacement parts and am now worried too much about breaking stuff to drive it hard......hey, let me buy more hpi stuff.....no fu*king thanks.
it's definitely a risk
It's not Nitro so it's not the most fun truck ever made...
Good point, although I’m not sure you can send a nitro like this?
I could feel it when it landed after huge air...THUMP!!!
it actually lands pretty good considering it's totally stock
@@RazorRC I agree.
