Kit Hpi

How Difficult would it be to build an Hpi Savage x SS Kit when zero experience?

i have been looking for a hobby and was thinking about building an rc truck. how difficult would it be to build this truck with no experience in doing so before. also for anyone who has built this... how much money am i looking at? im starting from scratch. no radio, no nothing. thanks.

Pretty hard as a beginer. i would start with an rtr (ready to Run). the nitro engines are hard enough to manage without having to build the whole car first. if you start with a rtr you can get to know the engine, the electrics and everything else about nitro cars and then once you've got the hang of RC nitro cars you can decide then if your up to actully build one of these machines!

g luck with ur nitro's!

Imagine driving an RC Gas vehicle 50+ MPH down the street, jumping over the curb or an obstacle course you created (because you have a lot of time on your hand), or even jump over your roof top (YouTube Bazooka Buggy and you’ll see what I mean). You’ll be the envy of many people.

Yes, we all want to relive or live our youth, and RC Nitro Fuel Gas Car can help us feel like a kid again. Nitro Cars is a safe and exciting hobby to get into, and with the influx of newcomers into the industry, RC’s are becoming extremely affordable in ready-to-run kits.

If you are an expert and have been in the hobby for many years, you may be investing $500+ in a U.S-branded gas car like Traxxas, HPI, etc. and paying a good penny for parts (you will need parts unless you drive 5 MPH).

For the rest of us who don’t have that deep of a pocket, but still want a car to have lots of fun with on the weekend, a beginner RC Car will suffice. Many Chinese-branded manufacturers such as HI-Speed, Himoto, Smartech, ACME-Tech are all great cars for beginners. For the most part, they can be purchased for under $200, and parts are readily available. If you have a good supplier, you are sure to enjoy your car and have spare parts available in case you “accidentally” crash.

How do you choose what is best?

It depends on the type of terrain that the car will be driven on.

On-Road Gas Car – These are perfect if you are looking to operate mostly in smooth surfaces; use the car around the block/parking lot, a park (smooth surface), or run laps on race tracks. Good Gas Cars include the Himoto Rapida Pro.

Off-Road Gas Buggy- Great if you are looking to perform jumps, and operate in rocky terrains, grassy area, or even smooth surfaces. The off-road gas buggies are versatile and can operate in all types of terrains. ACME-Tech provides RTR buggy kits that are fast and great for beginners.

Off-Road Truck- Similar to the off road buggy. More durable than the buggy, but generally a bit slower. Usually a bit more resistant to crashes, and easy to operate. 1/8 and 1/10 scales are the common scale, although 1/16 scales are becoming quite popular. The main difference is the ground clearance and size. RC Nitro Trucks are extremely popular and tend to be best selling.

What is needed?

All RTR kits come with almost everything you would need to get your vehicle running. All you would need is a glow plug Igniter and 20% glow fuel. These are usually 20% mixture of nitro methane and can be purchased at your local hobby shop. Your nearest HobbytownUSA is also a great resource.

It is important to adjust the carburetor settings once you receive your car. You would need to adjust the High/Low/Idle needle settings to prime your car. Please refer to your instruction manual or you can email us for settings and troubleshoot guides. In your initial stage of starting the car, make sure fuel is able to travel to the engine, and the glow plug is fully charged.

Once started with the loud rev of the engine, you’re good to go and ready to have lots of fun!
