SPECIFICATIONS:
Tall All-Terrain Tyres
New Terra Pin tyres stand tall, at 170mm (nearly 7 inches across!) to soak up ruts, bumps, rough landings and more! The tough spike pattern makes the Terra Pins great in grass and loose dirt, while the chevron centre pattern give it good directional stability while on the harder stuff. The tall sidewalls provide extra shock absorption and allow the tyres to grip extremely as they roll over obstacles. Speaking of obstacles, they won’t stand a chance as the Terra Pins roll over them!
3 Speed Transmission Installed
The Savage XL features the Savage 3-speed transmission to get the most out of the huge torque from the K5.9 engine. This gives you the best acceleration and top speed possible, getting all the power efficiently to the ground for maximum fun and enjoyment! The transmission is fully adjustable, too, so you can choose how early or late the XL will shift into higher gear!
Wider Stance & 17mm Hex Hubs
To widen the stance of the Savage chassis, the XL uses aluminium extending axles with 17mm hex hubs. These are lightweight and tough, and fit any 17mm hex monster truck or truggy type wheel, so your collection of monster truck wheels are perfectly usable! Serrated steel wheel nuts grip the plastic of the wheels to keep them locked in place, making sure that you’ll never see a wheel bouncing past your truck!
New Tougher Suspension Uprights
The XL features all-new uprights designed for the larger tyres and weight of this massive beast, and HPI designers have made these parts standard across the Savage X range for even better durability for all Savage X trucks! Beefier parts means the truck can take far more abuse and punishment, giving you plenty of big-air thrills before a parts breakages forces you to take a break. These are the types of running changes HPI customers are used to, and why Savage owners keep coming back for more and more!
Reinforced All-Metal Differentials
The Savage XL continues the run of tough, overbuilt, solid monster trucks: a wide range of durability options, plus several new drivetrain parts, are a standard part of the Savage XL’s arsenal of tricks. Machined diff ring and pinion bevel gears easily take the power of 5.9cc of nitro-burning mayhem, alloy diff cases and 4-gear diffs with new larger diff outdrives and axles round out the ultra-strong differentials, while extra heavy-duty dogbones get the power to both ends and all four wheels with ease.
Larger Diff Outdrives
Getting the power to the dogbones are larger, thicker and stronger diff outdrive cups. These machined steel outdrives can take the punishment of the suspension movement and the power of the K5.9 engine to get you through the toughest driving conditions and terrain with no problems!
Thicker Dogbones
New extra-thick, super duty dogbones provide the insurance you'll want when you take the XL way off-road and into rough country! The thicker diameter, larger ends and sleek black anodizing add up to all the assurance you'll want that the drivetrain won't let you down when the going gets tough! You'll be able to commit the full power of the K5.9 engine to the ground without worrying about drivetrain breakages or anything else!
Machined Steel Spur Gear
A machined steel 52T spur gear is the perfect match for the horsepower of the Nitro Star K5.9 engine. With the heavy duty vented clutchbell spinning the spur gear, you get a huge amount of drivetrain protection with gears that won't strip, melt or break! You'll have security and peace of mind that your truck will not only perform superbly, but last as long as possible in the roughest of terrain and conditions!
Aluminium Three-Shoe Clutch
The Savage XL uses a new 3-shoe aluminium clutch to get the power from the engine into the drivetrain. Using a unique, new blend of aluminium, the clutch shoes will resist wear, not be affected by engine heat and last for a very long time. There's no more secure way to get the power to the ground!
High Torque Metal Gear Steering Servo
HPI designers settled on a super-strong, extra-tough high torque metal gear servo. With nearly 9kg of force per centimeter (that's 126psi!), the SF-5 will get those tall Terra Pins turning easily at any speed! There's no need to upgrade the servo for anything else - this baby's got it all! With the bellcrank steering and built-in servo saver, you can be sure that the SF-5 will be fully protected against crash damage or bad landings, too!
6v NiMH Receiver Pack and Charger
To make sure the servos have all the power they need and then some, we're throwing in an HPI 1200mAh NiMH battery pack! This rechargeable pack even includes a convenient wall charger so you can make sure that the XL is always ready to rumble! You don't even need to take the pack out of the truck to charge it - just use the convenient charging jack built into the radio box and you'll be ready to go in no time!
