I think there's a crazy long thread on this truck in the monster truck section.

Default HPI Savage XS

I just got mine today. Took it for a drive in the front yard to test it out and i'm lovin it. I drove it in the dark but it still was a blast to drive. The things pretty fast stock. I used a 11.1v lipo and it wheelies at will. I noticed the motor started getting a little hot. Again this was at night so curious to see how hot it gets in the day. I will check temps tomorrow. I wanted to know what temps everyone elses motors are reaching? Anything I should look out for? For anyone whos thinking of buying one I say get it. Well worth $300 to me. I will find out how durable it is. Now I just need to make a skid plate for the top of my body. I'm going to need to buy a body soon.

I would call this a pretty good testament to the durability of this truck

Cartwheels on pavement is pretty sick torture to me.
