Savage Power with Electric Convenience!
For durability and ease of use, the dual-battery, dual-motor
electric E-Savage can't be beat! Full-time 4WD and Savage design
place it well above any other electric monster truck you can find
today! The E-Savage is completely pre-built with and equipped with
an electric drivetrain for total ease of use, tough build quality
and outstanding power and performance! There's no easier or fun way
to get into the world of off-road electric monster trucks! Simply
charge and go!
The E-Savage is fully factory assembled for you: just pull it out
of the box, install two standard stick pack batteries and get
going! With a professionally built chassis, completely painted
bodyshell, fully installed electrics, all you have to do is install
the transmitter batteries - it doesn't get any easier!
- Completely ready to run (RTR) - just supply 8 AA batteries for
the transmitter (Sport version also requires two stick-pack
batteries and charger).
- Twin motors, electronic speed control and all radio equipment
installed
- Painted and trimmed bodyshell included for instant custom looks
- choose from monster truck or ATV style bodyshells
- Pre-glued all-terrain tyres grip every surface
- Full manual included for easy repairs
The E-Savage isn't just about looking great, it's also a top
performer, with loads of horsepower and torque! Equipped with two
powerful 550-type motors, you'll experience massive hillclimbing
power and blistering top speed! Each motor has a cooling fan inside
so they run cool and generate high power. For 14.4 volts of
electric off-road power a pair of extra long-lasting 7.2V 3300mAh
batteries (not included with the Sport version) deliver the energy.
The batteries sit as low as possible in the chassis, and as close
to the centre as possible, for the best handling and performance,
whether you're on the racing track or at a fun bashing session! The
E-Savage uses standard size 7.2V stick packs with standards
connecters so upgrading with optional batteries is easy.
Controlling everything is a special dual motor, dual battery GT
14.4 volt electronic speed controller (ESC) which regulates the
power to the motors. It features a tall purple aluminium heatsink
to shed any excess heat and also has a reverse function so you can
back out of trouble. With a fully proportional throttle you'll have
fine control over the E-Savage! Setup is a breeze, too: a fully
automatic setup function makes sure all you have to do is turn on
the ESC to get it dialled in - no complicated setup procedures are
required!
The GT Escape charger that is included with the full kit versions
of the E-Savage is the perfect charger for the E-Savage! This is a
fully-featured fast charger that can charge TWO standard stick pack
batteries at the same time! The two 3300mAh batteries that are
included with the full E-Savage kits can be charged in about an
hour with the GT Escape charger. The charger's 12v input connects
directly to your car's main battery or 12v accessory socket for the
ultimate in convenience and ease. This allows you to quickly charge
the batteries easily in your car as you drive to the track, or
simply pop the bonnet to charge at your pit table! The GT Escape
will fast charge any stick pack battery with standard RC plugs. You
can also power the charger with mains power using an additional 12v
DC power supply (not included).
- Twin GT550 Electric Motors have loads of grunt and top speed
muscle
- GT 14.4v electronic speed control with reverse for superb
control
- 2x 3300mAh, 7.2V stick-pack batteries included (not included
with the Sport version)

The E-Savage is based upon the strong foundation of the toughest RC
monster truck around - the Savage! With its Twin Vertical Plate
(TVP) aluminium chassis design, central transmission, 8 shock
absorbers and dual wishbone suspension, the E-Savage is ready for
anything!
Getting the power of the twin GT550 motors to the ground is the
E-Savage's drivetrain, which features a racing-style twin plate
slipper clutch, central transmission, sealed gear diffs and sliding
universal dogbones. Every component uses sealed high efficiency
ball bearings for efficiency, long life and durability.
With a complete Savage-inspired suspension, the E-Savage can take
on and conquer anything you throw at it! Long wishbone arms give
the E-Savage loads of ground clearance and plenty of suspension
travel to let you get over any type of terrain, and over any type
of obstacle. Just like the 1/8 scale Savage truck, the suspension
is built for ultimate durability and extreme toughness! Two shocks
support each corner of the truck and absorb all the bumps and rough
landings the E-Savage will take as you bomb across the landscape!
The final link of the drivetrain is the telescoping driveshafts
which work together with the suspension and are super durable and
extra-tough!
Big 5.4 inch all-terrain tyres wrap around cool 5-spoke chrome
wheels and grip on every surface - tarmac, grass, dirt and more!
The block pattern of the tread ensures long life and stable grip on
dirt and paved surfaces. The tyres are wrapped around high gloss
chrome wheels, pre-glued with inner foams pre-installed. The
E-Savage uses a standard 14mm hex hub which makes the E-Savage
compatible with a huge variety of already available Savage wheels
and tyres - so customizing your E-Savage is easy.
- Adjustable Twin Plate Slipper Clutch for extra drivetrain
durability
- Durable TVP (Twin Vertical Plate) aluminium chassis
- 22 high efficiency ball bearings provide maximum
efficiency
- 8 long-stroke oil-filled shocks soak up all bumps and
jumps
- Double wishbone fully independent suspension for great
handling

tyres
THE FIRST ELECTRIC POWERED SAVAGE MONSTER TRUCK!
Electric power is the easy way to get into off-road monster trucks.
Charge up, switch on, and enjoy the ride. The E-Savage captures
that ease and adds the proven durability and extreme off-road
capabilities of the famous line of Savage trucks. You need a tough
and powerful truck to handle electric off-roading, and the E-Savage
delivers.
TWIN VERTICAL PLATE CHASSIS The Twin Vertical
Plates (TVP) chassis design was inspired by the time-tested
durability of our Savage line. Twin Vertical Plates serve as the
stable core of the chassis design, providing the critical strength
needed to stand up the abuse of hard off-road driving. The rigid
aluminium TVP chassis has a stylish design that places the front,
rear and centre gear boxes between two upright aluminium plates.
With the V-shaped battery layout (VBL) we have placed the batteries
(the heaviest items on the truck) at the lowest possible position
to make the centre of gravity very low for quick and precise
handling.
SYMMETRICAL 4WD LAYOUT The E-Savage has a
symmetrical power train layout with twin motors located around the
centre and twin batteries on the left and right sides of the
chassis. This layout creates excellent chassis balance to
contribute to great drivability on rough terrain and stability in
high-speed driving. Full-time 4WD puts the power to the ground at
all four corners, with 8 oil-filled shocks to soak up the bumps.
The result is a real go-anywhere monster truck.
TWIN PLATE SLIPPER CLUTCH A high capacity twin
plate slipper clutch is attached to the spur gear to protect the
drive system from impact while jumping. Placing the spur gear
between two slipper disks helps the drive train handle the power of
the twin motors and can be adjusted to track conditions.
COMPLETE SET OF BALL BEARINGS Twenty two precision
manufactured ball bearings are used in the drive train to reduce
maintenance and efficiently transmit the power of twin motors and
twin batteries to the tyres.
(RTR version includes TF-3 tranmitter. Sport version includes TF-1
transmitter and excludes batteries and charger)
ELECTRONICS The reliable and sturdy HPI TF-3 radio
controls the E-Savage, giving you ultimate control in a fantastic,
ergonomically designed radio! (The E-Savage Sport uses the similar
HPI TF-1) 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, servo reverse switches, a
retractable aerial with sliding cover, easy access to radio
adjustments and simple battery replacement. Taking the signals from
the transmitter, the installed HPI RF-1 receiver uses standard RC
connectors to send your control signals to the SF-1 steering servo,
which controls the steering, and the forward/reverse speed
controller. The dual-motor, dual-battery 14.4v GT Speed Controller
handles the throttle, brake and reverse commands to both GT-550
motors, which give the E-Savage awesome acceleration and power!
With HPI electronics you'll get reliable long-range connection and
control for loads of fun! You can also upgrade the electronics very
easily! Because all of the electronics are normal-size RC
components with industry-standard connectors, any or all of the
components can be upgraded at any time, or moved into a different
RC vehicle in the future. The E-Savage will also accept any
standard 540/550-size motors, and any RC stick-type battery
pack.
