Week One, April 2003

Hi here are a few pics of my Savage and my friend's savage. We often take a video camera out whenever we're out running our rc's. These are pics from our off road footage. My Savage is the one with the Escalade body shell, the other belongs to my friend Jun. Jun's Savage (at the time of these pics)is stock with an Ofna 21 hyper 8 port. But he has more goodies on the way. At the time of these pics, I had added a RD Logics 1 piece pipe. I too have more goodies for my Savage. As for the Savage in the air, I'm not sure if it's my Savage or Jun's. The HPI Savage is too much fun. We're constatly amazed with it's durability to take high jumps and novice driver abuse. Thanks HPI for building a great monster truck.

I am a 38 year old father of 3 girls. I have been racing for 5 years, but I enjoy back yard bashing with my new gas powered HPI Savage. The first 3 attachments are of the savage. I just got a new air brush and this is my first attempt of painting a body with an air brush.
