Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / June 2005Newbie question : HPI savage / radio/ servos
Hi, I just purchased a HPI savage SS 4.6 kit, but only the kit. I know I need to get a radio and servos obviously:) I know nothing about what I should get... Can someone advise a nice - not too expensive ( < $200) - radio receiver ? I think I need a 3 channel receiver in order to be able to use the reverse module for the savage. Also for the servos I believe I need some specific servos for the savage ? PS : I m probably going to use the receiver for a on-road kit down the road... not sure if it makes any difference.

If you intend to race at a track you may want to upgrade the steering servo to something with more than 120oz of torque. For steering servo, on my old Savage .21 I was very happy with a Hitec 645 MG for bashing. Dont' know about racing though. > Hi, > I just purchased a HPI savage SS 4.6 kit, but only the kit.

The 590 that comes with the XS3 is comparable to the Hitec 645. > For steering servo, on my old Savage .21 I was very happy with a Hitec 645 > MG for bashing. Dont' know about racing though.

Yup, if you want reverse a 3ch receiver and tranny is needed, the stock Savage ones do the job, and are available cheap on Ebay. Steering servo, personally i use a Hitec 645mg, powerful and cheap, and throttle servo, doesn't need to be anything special really, wants to be quite fast tho, maybe a Hitec 625mg, more powerful than needed, but again, a good servo and quite cheap.
