The Savage XL – Extra Large Size and Mega Power!
Check out the new machoaddition to the Savage line-up! The Savage XL is the super-large, extra-tough and supremely powerful bigger brother to the Savage monster trucks. With a longer wheelbase, wider stance and huge 5.9cc (.36 cubic inch) engine, the Savage XL is ready to rock and roll right out of the box! We were looking to expand the Savage range of monster trucks and had to consider what would capture the imagination and hearts of legions of HPI Savage fans. HPI designers settled on a larger, fun-oriented version of the Savage with massive great tyres, a giant chunky bodyshell and powered by the biggest engine ever offered in a production Savage monster truck. The end result is the Savage XL!
It's all about CHOICE!

2.4GHz Radio
System with Failsafe
The Savage X 4.6, Savage XL and Savage Flux HP 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! With HPI failsafe tech, you get
additional peace of mind, because you won't have to worry about
loss of radio contact - the RF-20 receiver has it built right
in!
Awesome XL
Looks!
Size does matter...
Bigger in every dimension than the Savage X trucks that stand next to it, the XL is taller, longer and wider, with a longer wheelbase, more ground clearance and tyres nearly 7 inches across! It’s based on the practically indestructible Savage X chassis but features even more durability upgrades like 3mm TVP plates and engine mount, machine-cut differential ring and pinion bevel gears, steel spur gear, heavy duty clutchbell, extra heavy-duty dogbones, new larger diff outdrives and axles, machined brake hub, dual fibre disk brakes and much more! Read on to find out more about the Savage XL! It will absolutely blow you away!
Extra-Long Alloy
Chassis
To get the long wheelbase of the Savage XL, HPI designers settled
on using an all-new extended TVP (Twin Vertical Plate) chassis that
is made from 3mm thick 6061 aluminium. 6061-series aluminium is
light and strong and provides the strength for stretching the
Savage platform to its limits! The chassis features the cool Savage
‘X’ styling, plus a few extra design features etched
into the chassis to really make it stand out! The engine is fitted
to a one-piece engine mount which is then firmly attached to a 3mm
extra thick engine mounting plate that is mounted between the TVP
chassis. These are the thickest standard TVP and engine plate parts
ever used on a Savage monster truck, and can easily withstand the
torque of the massive Nitro Star K5.9 engine, plus anything else
you can throw at the truck.
The Savage XL is loaded with new features that make
it the perfect choice for anyone looking for a massive great
monster truck! Check out this hugely impressive list of new parts
and custom features that are standard on the XL!
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 12kg of force per centimeter, the SF-50 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-50 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!
Easy to
Drive!
New Upgraded
Parts
At the heart of the Savage XL is the all-new, monstrous Nitro
Star K5.9 engine! This 5.9cc (.36 cubic inch) powerplant gives the
XL loads of torque for turning the giant tyres, giving the truck
the muscle to power over obstacles and through the toughest terrain
and conditions. The K5.9 engine delivers the muscle and grunt that
you’ll want for powering the Savage XL over any type of
terrain and through any obstacle! The low powerband supplies the
torque for getting the XL up to speed fast, and the curved manifold
and aluminium tuned pipe get the most power out of the engine. The
K5.9 is also fitted with a Roto-Start 2 for easy starting, a vented
heavy-duty clutchbell and aluminium 3-shoe clutch for tough and
reliable power transfer and a giant heatsink head so you
won’t have to worry about overheating!
New Aluminium
Exhaust System
With a curved rear-exhaust manifold directing exhaust gases to the
shiny aluminium 2-chamber tuned pipe, the specialized K5.9 exhaust
system produces loads of horsepower that just demands to be used!
The exhaust system is spring-loaded to enable it to withstand the
brutal landings of big-air jumps and driving over any type of
terrain, and is designed just for the K5.9 engine to produce
maximum punch and monstrous top speeds!Tough ABC
Construction
With true ABC construction (Aluminium case, Brass Chrome-plated
piston and cylinder), the Nitro Star K5.9 delivers massive torque
and horsepower and is as durable as possible. The three-needle
carburettor uses a 9.5mm inlet to get in as much fuel as possible
and uses a composite body to prevent heat from the engine case
affecting the fuel supply. A huge, black, flow-through finned
heatsink head keeps things cool, and even features a sweet
laser-etched logo!Dual-Stage Air
Filter
A dual stage pre-oiled air filter is used to keep dirt and fine
particles of dust from entering the engine. The air filter is
securely mounted on a 90-degree rubber tube so it is placed in the
perfect position and stay in place through any type of
driving.Roto Start 2
Installed
Get things going quickly with the Roto Start 2 starting system,
which is pre-installed onto the back of the engine. The Roto Start
2 replaces the standard pullstarter with a handheld shaft-drive
starting unit so you don’t have to deal with pullstarting the
engine by hand. Just install a charged 7.2v stick-pack battery into
the Roto Start 2 hand unit, insert the shaft into the back of the
engine, press the button and you’re off! It really
doesn’t get any easier!
