HPI SAVAGE X 4.6 104266 - RTR SAVAGE X 4.6 W/ 2.4GHz & NITRO GT-2 TRUCK BODY Pre-Assembled 1/8th Scale 4WD Nitro Powered Truck with F4.6 Engine, Roto Start System, 2 Speed Transmission, and 2.4GHz radio system.

The Savage X 4.6 RTR - now with 2.4GHz!

The Savage X 4.6 RTR now comes not just pre-built, but with a fully-featured 2.4GHz radio system! This version of the Savage X combines huge power with legendary durability for the ultimate in speed and convenience! The Savage X 4.6 is a fully RTR (Ready-To-Run) 1/8 scale monster truck and features everything that's great about the Savage 4.6, like the massive power of the F4.6 engine and several standard option parts! The Savage X 4.6 Reverse is the perfect choice for hardcore big-air 'bashers' and monster truck racers! HPI designers and engineers have continued to improve the Savage X, making the best even better! The bar has been raised again, once again showing why it's the most popular big block monster truck in the world!

Savage X 4.6 Reverse v. Savage X 4.6
The choice is YOURS! The #30873 Savage X 4.6 Reverse gives you the HPI Savage Reverse Module and third servo installed, plus a 3-channel TF-4 radio! The updated Savage X 4.6 RTR with 2.4GHz radio system offers the convenience of no-crystal radio technology and the famous HPI Roto Start System for easy engine starting. With the Savage X 4.6 Reverse at about the same price as the standard Savage X 4.6, this gives you the fantastic choice of choosing the convenience of reverse or the ease of the Roto Start 2!

Either version of the Savage X 4.6 can be easily upgraded to add reverse or Roto Start 2 capability, it's all about choices!

Now with an All-New 2.4GHz DSSS Radio!
The Savage X 4.6, Savage XL, , now include an exclusive brand new HPI 2.4GHz radio system! This means you get to experience DSSS (Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum) technology for no-crystal, no-fuss driving enjoyment. You can just switch on the radio and not have to worry about what channel anyone else is running - just get out and drive!

2.4GHz Radio System with Failsafe
The reliable and sturdy HPI TF-20 2.4GHz radio controls the Savage Flux HP, giving you superb control in a well-designed pistol-grip radio! The steering wheel design makes you feel as if you're actually driving the truck, and the trigger-style throttle and brake controls provide you with finger-sensitive action when accelerating and stopping! The radio transmitter features DSSS technology that eliminates the need for frequency crystals so you can drive with your friends without worrying about frequency conflicts or interference. The TF-20 has servo reverse switches, easy access to radio adjustments and simple AA battery replacement.

The RF-20 receiver takes the commands from the transmitter and transfers them reliably to the Flux Blur ESC and the steering servo. Taking care of the steering duties for the Savage Flux HP is the tough metal-gear HPI SF-50 high-torque servo, which has plenty of grunt to turn the front wheels at low and high speeds, in any sort of terrain. A truck this size needs the power and torque of a strong servo, and the SF-50 is just the ticket.

The HPI TF-20 radio gives you long-range and reliable communication with your truck. If you ever want to upgrade your electronics you'll find it extremely easy, because all of the electronics are standard-size RC components with standardized connectors. The components can be upgraded or replaced whenever you like, or even moved into a different RC vehicle in the future. The Savage Flux HP will accept any standard-size servos.

Electronic Failsafe
Nitro racers have known for a long time that having a working failsafe system is important for those 'just in case' moments - some unforeseen event that could make their car go out of control. With a truck as fast and large as the Savage X 4.6, this is even more important! The failsafe ensures that should your Savage monster truck ever lose radio signal, instead of flying out of control it will come to a safe and controlled stop! There's nothing like peace of mind.

Option Parts Included As Standard!
Included with the Savage X 4.6 are two of our latest option parts: #3087327 Alloy Diff Cases and new stronger brake disks!

The Alloy Diff Cases prevent damage to the internal diff gears front and rear, keeping the engine's horsepower where you want it - at the tyres!

Helping all the extra speed slow down are new red fibre brake disks, which are more fade-resistant than ever before and withstand the brutal punishment of the new F4.6 engine!

Savage X 4.6 Durability
'Proven Tough' Over-sized Suspension
Eight long coil-over shocks absorb anything type of rough terrain you throw the truck at, and beefy suspension arms and uprights can take the punishment of big-air drops and top speed runs over bumpy terrain. Keeping everything protected is the cool-looking anodized TVP chassis, which features a custom 'X' graphic. The enclosed radio box has been redesigned on the Savage X models as well, allowing you to add the #308 Battery Level Indicator and charging jack for the receiver battery.

The TVP (Twin Vertical Plate) chassis plates have been modified at both ends in increase the truck's durability. Structural webbing was added to the central gearbox to improve its strength. Extra material was added to the skid plates and bumper struts front and rear to let the Savage X SS 4.6 take on crashes and jumps. The engine mount and engine plate are now thicker to give you more durability and endurance, especially when you're landing massive jumps!

Savage X 4.6 Speed
Get that Savage X 4.6 engine going, and once again anyone watching will be surprised at its speed! With enough power to pull long wheelies with ease, the new F4.6 powerplant 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 up to 45mph (73kph)! You want speed? You've got it!

In one word, this new power plant makes the Savage X 4.6 - FAST! The F4.6 engine is a new HPI high-power unit with the proven HPI Nitro Star reliability, featuring 2.9hp from its .28 cubic inch displacement! A great-looking anodized solid aluminium cooling head looks the business and does a great job of keep the engine cool! Rough off-road terrain and extreme stunts are not a problem when this engine is on the case! The F4.6 features true ABC construction (Aluminium piston, Chrome-plated Brass sleeve), race-tuned 8 port tuning, an 7.5mm composite carburettor, heavy duty triple shoe clutch, plus a convenient Roto Start mechanism for easy starting. A dual-stage air filter protects the F4.6 from dust and dirt kicked up by the power 4WD action! So fast, in fact, that HPI designers made significant improvements to the chassis, gear cases and other parts of the truck to beef it up so it could handle the extra power! The F4.6 engine pumps out nearly 3 horsepower and sits on an improved engine mount and thicker engine plate to give you more durability and endurance, especially when you're landing massive jumps! Little changes with big effect!

Easy Starting
The Savage X 4.6 Reverse includes a tough HPI pullstarter system for cranking up the F4.6 engine to full power. Using a pullstarter instead of the HPI Roto-Start system means you don't have to worry about carrying around a couple of 7.2v battery packs and a charger when you just want to bash around and have a good time - less cost, less hassle, more fun!

Of course, if you want to add the Roto-Start option it's very easy - just ask for HPI #3087130 and it's a quick matter of replacing the pullstarter with the parts in the Roto-Start kit.

Drivetrain
Our designers didn't ignore the drivetrain, either. We wanted to make sure the Savage X 4.6 drivetrain could handle the extra power of the Nitro Star F4.6! The stock Savage drivetrain already features a permanent 4WD system and spins on rubber-sealed ball bearings, plus it features an adjustable 2 speed transmission. To add extra strength to all this, our designers added loads of improvements and extra features. The 17T clutch bell has been modified so it engages the spur gear with extra consistency. A steel spacer is used in the clutch bell, which provides more durability than the brass spacer. The adjustable slipper clutch features a slipper pad made from a more durable material, so there's less maintenance and more driving! Also, aluminium alloy diff cases are now standard on the front and rear differentials, which feature the HPI 4-gear differential. Finally, to make sure you can stop this beast as quickly as you might need to, the Savage X 4.6 is equipped with a new twin vented disk brake made from a space-age heat-resistant fibre material to give you fantastic stopping power!

Go Where Buggies and Truggies Fear To Tread!
When normal 4WD can't cut it, when delicate racing parts fail, or when the terrain is simply too terrifying to race on, that's when the big-block 1/8 scale Savage X series of trucks is in its element! Engineered for the most brutal of environments and built for durability in the most extreme terrain, the Savage X 4.6 is the ultimate 'basher' monster truck!

Fat, chunky treads on each wheel grip any type of terrain, whether wet or dry, mud or tarmac. Full-time 4WD transmission pulls the truck over and through anything in its path. Eight long coil-over shocks absorb huge drops and help give extra traction on rough surfaces. Combine all this with the monster horsepower of the new 2.9hp F4.6 engine, and you get the roughest, readiest truck around!

With all this power and durability, the jumping ability of the Savage X 4.6 is totally unsurpassed by any other monster truck. With a top speed of over 70kph (43mph), hitting a ramp with something this size is something that absolutely must be seen to be believed! Backflips, forward flips, double backflips and more stunts are easy with this much power and control! Landing the truck is easy, too: big shocks absorb the landings and tough suspension parts take the abuse of jumping with ease.
