    HPI was my favorite RC company growing up. I had a Nitro Rush and I mowed lawns and saved for one. Wish HPI was still current in the Industry.

    Well I’ve been watching a long while from down under in Aus and I finally bit the bullet and bought myself a nitro, got an old school HPI Savage looking forward to tinkering with it and get her screaming again.. appreciate your work on the channel

      thanks bro! The only real tough part is finding good tires for this style model, from what I've found only the electric 4-tec 3.0 tires would be a direct fit for this style chassis.

      yes man, so the bad thing is Tires are not say to get for this model. IT's got much larger tires than a regular 1/10 scale and still had 12mm hubs. Basically a real PAIN in the AS* to get anything that fits, other than brand new 4-TEC 3.0 tires, those will be almost a direct fit.

    Those Supers are a blast on not terribly expensive to buy if you hit eBay every day, five times a day. Bodies are what costs the most if you like them originally. I have bought complete cars just to get the bodies.

    • @hybrid32494
      @hybrid32494  Месяц назад +1

      hey man! That's SPOT on 100% about hitting embay each day, each hour of the day lol to search for a nice super nitro chassis. Yes, this one included a body when I got it, but it was literally a 1/10 scale incorrect body that the prior owner cut giant wheels wells in and killed the whole body and it still looked terrible.

    LOVE IT! I still have yet to run my Super since I did the Wolfpack Chassis ... the one I sent you the pic of on IG. I have it geared for low 80s as long it pulls 40k but i dont think that will be an issue with the engine thats in there...Modded Mito 9 that was timed for lots of over rev power..power that hangs on after its peak

  • @lutach

    Yesterday I was trying to remember something and today you posted this video and I'm here laughing because it made me remember that I have a RS4 Sport with a 2speed transmission (Electric) that I used the wheel/tire combo from the Super RS4 and a blue Honda Accord body to make it look like those 20 inch rims on the ricers from back in the days rofl. Now it looked amazing, but brushless power and the electric version of the 2speed didn't go so well. Thank for the video that made me remember what I had forgotten lol.

    I've found that air leaks will cause erratic idle and hard tuning. If the engine cuts out immediately when you pinch the fuel line, I think you're too lean on the low speed needle. Great content! That's a sweet set up. extended chassis 💯

      @hybrid32494  Месяц назад

      hey bro! that totally makes sense, I get your point now. Yes, I don't use a lot of music, but of course what I do use I have to ensure it's not 100% good music audio and I have some other noice in the back, otherwise the copyright claims gonna be popping up like people at the US border! lol... I totally know what you're saying. Plus this was a super windy day, the camera did what it could you know.

      @hybrid32494 allowed some time to think about it. The current 1/8th scale Subaru from hpi would be nice.its a small 1/8th and narrower if I'm not mistaken. Looks better than the old hpi super bodies imo. And that chassis has extended wheelbase option . Unless ur already using long wheelbase..!!

      hey man! You're correct, these models were usually used for speed runs a long time ago, because they could easily handle a high RPM small block, a 2-speed, larger wheels, and had good enough ground clearance. Basically these were the ARRMA Vendetta of their time, but nitro and way cooler.
