This is the HPI Savage SS 4.6 Big Block nitro engine, 1/8 scale RC truck. This was the kit version, which came with some updated parts, a larger engine, and better tires than the RTR (Ready to Run). I got the kit, not only since of the upgrades, however I have constructed RC race automobiles from kits given that the very early 80's, and I prefer to develop them correctly with threadlock where it should be, grease where it ought to be, and the appropriate torque on all the screws. The RTR variations constantly appear to have actually stripped holes or screws, or things have the tendency to fall off at the worst moments. At any rate, this is developed right, and it's an extremely tough truck.

　　I have actually run less than a gallon of 20 % nitro fuel in it. In the picture of the fuel bottle, my thumb reveals the level, and I flew some of my planes on some of that. I 'd state a minimum of 50 % of what was made use of entered into the aircrafts. This engine has seriously high compression and runs like a champ. I mainly ran it in a cleared dirt lot near my residences up until they started developing there.

　　I just put new 16T pinion gear/clutch and a 49T spur gear in it to slow it down. It has a two speed transmission, so I really wanted first gear to be slower over the mounds of dirt. It has lots of torque and is still faster than needed for anywhere I have to drive it. (I don't race this truck, I have 1/10 scale buggies for that) I likewise simply set up ball bearings in the steering arms.

　　The radio is a Futaba Magnum Jr. MJ T2PHKA two channel with all sorts of adjustments. I will offer the truck without the radio, receiver, and servos for $280.
