The Savage Flux HP – Jaw-Dropping Flux Power!
The all-new Savage Flux HP is guaranteed to wow you and your
friends! Powered by the awesome Flux Tork 220 motor and twin
battery packs, you will be pulling wheelies at the twitch of a
finger, and getting air like nobody's business! Easy plug-and-go
convenience is the hallmark of electric RC trucks, and the Savage
Flux HP is no different. Just plug in two matching battery packs
and you are off and running! The Flux Blur speedo can handle
massive amounts of power, and you can fit in up to 16 NiMH cells or
2 LiPo batteries (either 2S or 3S type). Want to hit the
speed limit with your monster truck? With the Savage Flux HP it's
all too easy! With 2 3S LiPo batteries and on-road tyres
like our #4729 or #4731 mounted Phaltlines you can hit 62 mph
(100kph) in no time! The Savage Flux HP is equipped with as many
tough option parts as we could fit in, just so it can handle the
power of the Flux Tork 2200 motor. We've equipped it with an
all-metal gear transmission, steel spur gear, super heavy-duty
dogbones, machine cut diff gears, 2.5mm TVP chassis plates, 3mm
7075 motor plate and dual 8mm billet motor clamps!
The Savage Flux HP is based on the already
awesome Savage X chassis, and features a low-mounted Flux Tork
2200Kv motor in place of the big-block nitro engine, a powerful
Flux Blur speedo in place of the fuel tank, and twin battery boxes
hanging on the outside to hold a variety of battery types. Power
your Savage Flux HP with either NiMH batteries from 6- to 8-cell
size, or dual LiPo batteries with 2S 7.4v or a whopping 3S 11.1v
power! Everything else from the Savage X is carried over, including
the tough all-metal gear drivetrain, powerful SF-5 metal-gear
servo, machine-cut diff gears and legendary Savage suspension parts
and shock towers for extreme durability! The lighter weight of the
Savage Flux HP allows us to use just a single nylon shock at each
corner, in BIG BORE size for excellent control and traction on any
surface. The Savage Flux HP is loaded with new and exciting
features, read on to find out more!
The centrepiece of the Savage Flux HP is the
Flux system, consisting of the Tork 2200 motor and Blur speedo -
both wholly impressive in their own right, but together they form
an unstoppable power force! The Flux Tork 2200 features the coolest
motor cases we've ever seen, with massive machined cooling fins
that really make it look the part of an all-out power plant! With a
5mm motor shaft it can fit the upcoming optional pinion gears so
you can get even MORE top speed for those insane runs, or gear it
down a bit for increased acceleration on the track. The Tork 2200
is held down to the 3mm 7075 aluminium motor plate with two 8mm
billet machined aluminium clamps so it won't move or shift under
the immense amount of torque it can pull. Controlling the Tork 2200
is the Flux Blur speedo, the most powerful brushless speed
controller we could find. With the ability to handle twin 3S LiPo
batteries (that's a total of 6S LiPo power!) it can deal with
anything the Tork 2200 motor can dish out! 6mm bullet connectors
secure the motor wires for loss-free connection to the 12-gauge
wires, and to connect to each battery pack we've attached real
Dean's connectors for zero power loss and total efficiency. We
figured why re-invent the wheel and release our own connector when
the best is already available? Topping off the versatility of the
Flux Blur speedo (literally) is an integrated cooling fan, which
allows the speedo to operate at its ideal temperature. Finally, you
have the ability to easily connect it to your computer for total
programming control! With our #100573
USB Programming Kit you can connect the Blur to any Windows-based
PC to control all the various facets of its power delivery,
braking, throttle curves, battery cut-off and much more. You can
also save various profiles to have profiles for racing, insane
speed runs, stunts, fun running and more. With the Flux Tork 2200
and Blur combo, you get all the power you can desire, with custom
tuning and multiple battery handling thrown in for fun! You can get
your friends saying 'what the Flux?!' as fast as you can pull the
trigger! You'll have to experience it to believe it!
The Savage Flux HP is loaded with features
that make it the perfect choice for anyone looking for a massively
fun, plug-and-go monster truck! Check out the long list of parts
and custom features that are standard on the Savage Flux HP!
The chassis for the Savage Flux HP is very
similar to the nitro-powered Savage that we all know and love - the
backbone consists of the TVP (Twin Vertical Plate) design, formed
from two 2.5mm aluminium plates, with the diff cases at either end
providing significant stiffness and the transmissiong casing and
motor plate forming load-bearing members of the structure.
Extra-Low CG
The Flux Tork 2200 motor sits extremely low in the chassis,
providing as low a centre of gravity (CG) as possible, and the twin
battery packs ride on the outside of the TVP chassis members, where
the tuned pipe and fuel tank on a nitro-powered Savage would
usually rest. The low CG gives you extra control and cornering
ability, allowing you to rule the corners on the track and pull off
spectacular stunts to impress and wow your friends! The picture to
the right shows the Savage Flux HP chassis with the battery case
removed, showing you how low the motor sits in the chassis.Twin Battery
Power
Brushless motors like the Flux Tork 2200 are already super powerful
with just one battery compared to their older brushed ancestors, so
you can imagine what two battery packs will be able to provide! The
Savage Flux HP can take up to 16 NiMH cells (split up with 2 x
6-cell, 2 x 7-cell or 2 x 8-cell battery packs) or 2 LiPo packs of
either 2S 7.4v or 3S 11.1v construction. The production battery
boxes will feature loads of vents to keep the batteries cool, and
we suggest using official Deans zero-loss battery plugs.Flux Tork 2200
Motor
The Flux Tork 2200 motor is one of the biggest and most powerful
brushless motors available, and was selected specifically for its
massive power delivery and voltage handling. It can take up to 25
volts of power, delivering hordes of power - plenty of juice to let
to you do instant wheelies and standing backflips! The Tork 2200 is
held in place with 2 machined 8mm billet aluminium motor clamps
secured to the 3mm 7075 alloy motor mount to prevent it moving once
the gear mesh is set. Option pinion gears will be available to
fine-tune the speed and torque delivery!Flux Blur
ESC
With the capacity to handle up to 6S LiPo power and more NiMH cells
than can actually fit in the Savaage Flux HP, the Flux Blur speedo
can take anything you can possibly throw at it and keep coming back
for more! Fully programmable with our #100573 USB Programming Kit and fitted with
fat 6mm bullet connectors, the Blur delivers power to the Tork 2200
motor in massive gulps of voltage while the integrated cooling fan
keeps everything at a reasonable operating temperature.All-Metal
Transmission Gears
The Savage Flux HP features all-metal transmission gears to make
sure that power delivery is uninterrupted and every jolt of power
gets from the motor to the tyres efficiently and with no worry of
damage to the gears. The whole drivetrain runs on rubber-sealed
ball bearings for optimal efficiency, for extra-long runtimes and
mega-fast top speeds! The diffs feature the all-new Machined Super
Heavy Duty Bevel Gear Set, with extra-large bearings for extreme
durability! These are tougher and stronger than all other available
bevel gear sets for the Savage!XL Tough
Suspension
The Savage Flux HP features the uprights designed for the larger
tyres and weight of the Savage XL, giving you the assurance that
you'll be able to deal out the same abuse that all the other
nitro-powered Savage trucks can handle! Beefy parts mean the Savage
Flux HP can take plenty of abuse and punishment, giving you plenty
of big-air thrills before a parts breakages forces you to take a
break.Machined Super
Heavy Duty Diff Gears
Equipped with the new #102692 -
Machined Bulletproof Diff Bevel Gear 29T / 9T Set, you can be sure
that the diffs of the Savage Flux HP will last for a long time,
taking the punishment of the Flux Tork 2200 motor! The entire
drivetrain can be upgraded with all the option parts available to
nitro Savage owners, letting you upgrade and bulletproof your truck
as desired.Thick Super
Heavy-Duty Dogbones
Extra-thick, super duty dogbones provide the insurance you'll want
when you take the Savage Flux HP way off-road and into rough
country! The thick 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 Tork 2200 motor to the ground without
worrying about drivetrain breakages or anything else!Machined Steel
Spur Gear
A machined steel spur gear is the perfect match for the power of
the Tork 2200 motor. The pinion gear spins on a 5mm motor shaft and
optional pinion gears will be available after the Savage Flux HP is
launched. With the all-metal drivetrain running from the motor to
transmission, and from the gearbox to the diffs, 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!Big Bore Nylon
Shocks
Four huge Big Bore shocks give all the suspension action you need
to get out and blast through the roughest of tracks or off-road
terrain. With slick nylon bodies they are lightweight and strong,
with almost no friction '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!SF-5 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 the GT-2 tyres 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!Savage Wheelie Bar
Included
The #85245 is included as standard,
ready for you to bolt on in case you want to pull impressive
wheelies to wow your friends. Want to pull off jaw-dropping
standing backflips without a ramp? Leave the wheelie bar off, we
don't mind - just be prepared for your friends to ask for the
controller! It's OK if you say no and tell them to get their own,
though!All-Terrain
Tyres
With the aggressive tread of the GT-2 tyres, you can go off-road to
on-road with cool, predictable handling and very little drama. The
centre tread lines give you stability on paved surfaces while the
side treads and heavy-duty sidewall teeth grip any sort of dirt,
mud, muck, leaves, etc., you can find on dirt roads or rutted
fields. Drive with confidence knowing that the grip from your tyres
are the least of your worries.GT-2 Bodyshell
with All-New Flame Paint Scheme
To give the sleek GT-2 bodysheel a whole new look, we've wrapped it
with the coolest pre-painted paint scheme we've ever seen - dark
grey and red flames give the truck bodyshell an entirely new
outlook and celebrate the unbelievable power of the Flux Tork/Blur
combination.

High Quality Radio
Gear
The reliable and sturdy HPI TF-3 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 interchangeable
frequency crystals so you can drive with your friends, servo
reverse switches, a retractable aerial with sliding cover, easy
access to radio adjustments and simple AA battery replacement. The
new RF-6 2-channel receiver takes the commands from the transmitter
and transfers them reliably to the Flux Blur speedo and the
steering servo. Taking care of the steering duties for the Savage
Flux HP is the tough metal-gear HPI SF-5 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-5 is just the ticket,
providing 8.9kg/cm2 at 6 volts (that’s 126 psi!) of power.
The HPI TF-3 radio gives you long-range and reliable communication
with your truck. Finally, 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 standard
connectors. Any or all of the components can be upgraded or
replaced whenever you like, or even moved into a different RC
vehicle in the future.
