Nice overview but I still feel it's overpriced for how dated it is. If hpi really wanted to make a splash they should have made it about 450-470 and included ALL the "upgrades" otherwise it's still the same 15 year old design that people don't get excited for. I feel that only in rc do prices go up for older designed rcs instead of going down like everything else. Can you imagine paying more for a crt tv now? Or a cd/DVD player? People would look at you like you're crazy

@F Garcia I hear you man but when I was a kid I was expecting to be in flying cars by the year 2000😊 I say this about other brands and HPI is no exception, fix the issues from previous releases. Even though they are simple aftermarket fixes my main issues are the hex adapters, no wheelie bar and the lack of a center diff. All of that should have come on this truck.

But why Didnt you Put another HPI savage/XL beside it ? nor talked about Parts Compatabilities ? can this be swapped with other ( older i guess ) savages besides the obvious ? thats what everyone wants to know ,seriously !. 20 min. vid didnt realy learn anything we already knew. Make another Vid with all these info , bet youll get more Subscribers and We need to know and not to mention it would be more funner than just spending another 800 bucks plus Tax , ya know . good day

@Mikekixaxe Thanks man! Maybe you didn't know but I'm not a hobby shop nor do these trucks get sent to me for free, so two trucks would not be an option. I bought this truck back in Feb of 2021, the truck was only $630 no tax or shipping but I know the price has gone up a ton. I did film my final thoughts video. It's in the queue and speaks more of my experience on the truck. This was and is my first Savage so really can't speak on how the old and new compare. That would be false if I tried to do that and I only speak on what I've personally tried or owned. But from all of the info I've found on the prior models this is no different than the older models. Really it's the old one with a new body from the videos I've seen. Plus all of the parts I've been adding are from the previous parts releases. From all the angles I put in this video you can tell nothing has changed.

i love the Savage XL Flux. I have the old one from "previous" HPI. The new version looks similiar to me. I think weak point is and remains the shocks. It is the suspension design and I had hoped that they change it. They have not. The angle of the shock absorbers is too slanted (angle of 60%). This goes extremely on the sealing rubbers and the dampers are leaking quickly. HPI briefly belonged to Horizon Hobby. My last update is that HPI is now (2019) part of the Vestergaard Group. I am of the opinion that the name hpi will never again match the old successes :(

@Herbert Müller I never owned the previous Savage XL but everything I was able to find on this truck, it looks like it was mostly unchanged.

If they pump a v2 of this truck in less than a year that may get the new comers in. From HPI people want to see the new owners stand behind the product this time otherwise this will be the third failed attempt to a relaunch and could be the last.
