The New Savage X 4.6 - RTR Convenience With SS Power And Spec +
More!
Featuring a wide range of improvements, a
huge jump in power and several option parts now as standard, the
Savage X 4.6 is going to set the new standard for big block monster
trucks. 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! Building on the solid foundation of the
genre-defining Savage line of HPI monster trucks which includes the
tremendous Savage X SS, the Savage X 4.6 RTR features a huge list
of improvements that make the toughest, strongest, most resilient
and most powerful RTR Savage ever! The Savage monster trucks have
always been about immense size, speed and durability. The first
thing people notice about the Savage X monster truck is its immense
size. With its nearly 17 inch width, the Savage X can't help but
impress! The massive tyres with chunky treads, big pick-up style
bodyshell, and the flashy aggressive paint job all scream 'Watch
out, I'm coming through'! If there's one thing the Savage X can do
without even running its engine, is scare away the
competition!
New Option Parts
Included As Standard!
Included with the Savage X 4.6 are two of our latest option
parts: #86827 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
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!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.THE BEST OPTION
