new take on monster truck looks!
THE SAVAGE X 4.6 - BETTER THAN EVER!

most durable monster truck on the market; and now it's packed with
even more features! The monster truck that broke new ground in
durability, Big Block power, innovative design, and unrivaled
performance is making sure the competition stays on their toes.
It's better equipped than ever, with better handling, a better
radio, and an even better looking body. The updated Savage X 4.6
has it all!
2.4GHz RADIO
SYSTEM
The HPI Savage is legendary as the most durable monster truck
ever, and now it's packed with even more features! The monster
truck that broke new ground in durability, Big Block power,
innovative design, and unrivaled performance is making sure the
competition stays on their toes. It's better equipped than ever,
with better handling, a better radio, and an even better looking
body. The updated Savage X 4.6 has it all!
HPI TF-40 2.4GHz RADIO SYSTEM
Controlling the Savage X 4.6 is easy with the HPI 2.4GHz radio
system. No need to worry about changing crystals, the radio
prevents frequency conflicts automatically. With the adjustable,
built-in failsafe feature, you will be protected in case the radio
ever loses signal.
Savage Toughness
The RTR Savage X 4.6 has beefy suspension arms that can take the
punishment of big-air drops and top speed runs over bumpy terrain.
Keeping everything protected is the reinforced "X" TVP (Twin
Vertical Plate) chassis, which features thick aluminum plates and
custom 'X' assets/images. Extra material was added to the skid
plates and bumper to help the Savage X 4.6 survive huge jumps and
crashes. The thick engine mount and engine plate give the truck
amazing durability and endurance, especially when you're landing
massive jumps!
Big Block Power!
The massive F4.6 Big Block engine is designed for one thing and
one thing only - huge amounts of horsepower! Nearly 3hp, in fact!
Enough horsepower to get the Savage X 4.6 to speeds over 45mph
(73kph)! And Big Block TORQUE is always on tap, just pull the
throttle and you'll know you're not driving a small block. You want
speed? You want torque? You've got it! Rough off-road terrain and
extreme stunts are not a problem with this engine! You get
toughness as well as speed: the F4.6 features true ABC construction
(Aluminum piston, Chrome-plated Brass sleeve), 8 port tuning, a
7.5mm composite carburetor, and a heavy duty triple shoe clutch. A
dual-stage air filter protects the F4.6 from dust and dirt kicked
up by the 4WD action!
Improved Handling
Four huge Big Bore shocks give the suspension action you need to
get out and blast through the roughest of tracks or Off-Road
terrain. The slick Nylon bodies are lightweight and strong, with
almost no 'stiction' between the shock piston and shock body. The
extra-large capacity gives you extra control and damping action so
you have the driving feel that makes Off-Road driving so much
fun!
Tough 4WD Drivetrain
Our designers wanted to make sure the Savage X 4.6 drivetrain
could handle the extra power of the Nitro Star F4.6. The Savage
drivetrain features a permanent 4WD system and spins on
rubber-sealed ball bearings. The proven 2 speed transmission uses
tough metal gears for durability, and has adjustable shift points
for the ultimate tuning. To add extra strength, aluminum alloy diff
cases are standard on the front and rear differentials,
pre-installed and shimmed to extend the maintenance interval of the
HPI 4-gear differential. The adjustable slipper clutch features a
durable slipper pad, so there's less maintenance and more driving!
Finally, to make sure you can stop this beast quickly, the Savage X
4.6 is equipped with a twin vented disk brake made from
heat-resistant fiber material to give you more stopping power!
Easy Startiing
The RTR Savage X 4.6 includes an improved Roto Start system to
get the engine running with minimal effort! The new Roto Start
features a pistol-grip design and a built-in one-way bearing to
make starting and maintenance easy and simple! To start your engine
simply insert the Roto Start into the engine's back plate, pull the
trigger and away you go! To power the Roto Start you just need to
supply a standard 6-cell stick battery pack with normal RC charging
plug.
Looks Great!
The Savage X 4.6 features the fantastic GT-3 truck body in two
pre-painted color choices, Silver/Black or Silver/Gunmetal. The
GT-3 body comes completely trimmed, decaled and mounted for the
ultimate in ease. The intricate paint designs feature an action
sports inspired layout for concours quality appearance. And you can
always customize your truck with any of the clear or pre-painted
polycarbonate body shells from the huge assortment of HPI bodies
and other manufacturers as well! For great looks, the Savage X 4.6
is topped off with a clean set of black chrome Warlock wheels, a
grey anodized engine head, and orange anodized aluminum parts.
