Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: Siddharth on March 28, 2011, 11:20:04 AM Great Move from HPI to make it completely ready to run. They have finally decided to go the Traxxas way.
One of the best monster trucks just got better with these upgrades. What the hell were they thinking with the radio. looks like a cheap chinese radio. Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: traxxrc1 on March 28, 2011, 01:51:12 PM What the hell were they thinking with the radio. looks like a cheap chinese radio. Its just personal preference lol ;) BTW it reminds me of m11 looks. No, its like DX3S. Even has a antenna at the front rather than mid Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: Tassem on March 28, 2011, 04:19:37 PM I prefer the older radio design.. This one looks kinda tacky and gimmicky imho.. I guess they just changed the looks for the transmitter cause the older one is also 2.4Ghz..
The big bore shocks are welcome though :D Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: traxxrc1 on March 28, 2011, 04:31:46 PM its just personal opi
Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: Tassem on March 28, 2011, 04:54:41 PM Nah I wasn't reflecting on your comment in any way. I was just saying cause you're post invited our take on HPI's decision :) I like the handle as its helps in carrying the transmitter. The main gripe I have with my transmitter is that it doesn't have a lanyard ring/hole.. But the steering looks funny on this new one don't you think?
Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: traxxrc1 on March 28, 2011, 04:57:08 PM Not reallly lol
its similar to a Tq from trx (steering wheel) Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: Tassem on March 28, 2011, 05:11:29 PM Hmmm.. now that you mention that, it does look kinda similar. But the top handle is different though..
Aren't these the new Traxxas transmitters? http://i634.photobucket.com/albums/uu69/PeterVieira/Misc%20Pete/24GhzTXguide-1.jpg Or do they have different ones? Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: traxxrc1 on March 28, 2011, 05:14:46 PM Higher models come with H.O. transmitters.
What i meant is that only the transmitter wheel is similar rest is different. Antenna and the top flat design is like the Spektrums dx3s. just remove the handle Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: traxxrc1 on March 28, 2011, 05:22:18 PM But stil it maintains highest similarity with Sanwa m11
Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: Tassem on March 28, 2011, 05:32:21 PM Now that is a good looking Tx!
Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: Siddharth on March 28, 2011, 06:33:03 PM Its just personal preference i guess. Never liked the design of Sanwa M11x anyway. But this model is definately going to do well because of the upgrades and the fact that its truly RTR now.
Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: iamahuman on March 28, 2011, 07:31:32 PM The radio reminds me of the Sanwa MT4 and the M11.For some reason(I think its the SSR system),all the pro racers prefer the M11x but it looks VERY bulky.I would prefer the futaba 4-PKS(If I had the money).
Looks good overall and yeah,it looks like a cheap knockoff of the MT4 and M11. Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: Tassem on March 28, 2011, 08:02:47 PM Somehow the M11 has a heavy solid look. I don't know how to explain it. Could be the matte finish or the understated colours. The new savage tx looks light and tacky to me. Again dunno how to explain it :D
Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: iamahuman on March 28, 2011, 08:04:04 PM It resembles the MT-4 more.
Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: iamahuman on March 28, 2011, 08:04:52 PM Minus the curvature of the handle.
Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: traxxrc1 on April 05, 2011, 01:21:25 PM lol so much discussion on just a radio
BTW the car is available on rcplanet.com now Hoping to c it in India soon Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: ShutterX on April 05, 2011, 05:58:59 PM this car will take some time to get to india... but no doubt, it will be much more expensive. confirmed.
lets see. they put the k series motor. the issue with this motor is that it provides more or less the same power but at a higher rpm... what the point of that? Title: Re: NEWS: Savage X 4.6 Update 2011 Post by: traxxrc1 on April 05, 2011, 08:30:32 PM Its the same F4.6 engine as what is i your savage. Only difference is ithat the engine head now has a different colour
