My HPI Savage SS nitro monster truck.

Fairly stock, apart from a bunch of critical mods to make it stronger. Stronger diffs, a good air filter, decent servos, servo horns and steering bellcranks, billet steering knuckles, and a tough SH .28 big block. 2.5HP and a buttload of torque at around 30000rpm. Twin drilled brake discs were used to haul it down from speed.....was heavy and big, very dangerous coming at your ankles at its top speed of around 70km/h!

Also had a nice set of paddles on it (fronts were only for photos, replaced with tyres that could actually steer in the sand), black rims and an airbrushed Hummer H2 shell. The paddle tyres would kick up 10 foot roosts fairly easily.

Used to cost me 100-200 bucks each time I took it out for a big day of bashing, mainly due to the 30 foot jumps at Bullcreek BMX track...bent chassis, bent shock shafts, broken suspension arms, bent bulkheads, etc...it copped a LOT of abuse!
