The Savage XL is the extra-large, extra-tough and extra-powerful big brother to the Savage X monster truck. For improved stability and handling, the Savage XL has a 55mm longer wheelbase and a 25mm wider track. 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. The HPI design team added strategically strengthened hop-up parts to tame the massive K5.9 power for unmatched durability. The Savage XL soaks up the rough stuff with ease because it's the biggest, toughest, and most powerful Savage ever!

The Savage XL definitely looks the part of the massive monster truck! The extended wheelbase is the perfect evolution of the Savage design, and the extended chassis and larger tires are a perfect match for the new, bigger 'GT Gigante' body!

The wide front grill and huge headlights of the GT Gigante body merge with the flared wheel arches front and rear for a huge 'wow factor,' adding to the impression of huge size and strength! The large Terra Pin tires fit the body perfectly for a scale monster truck look that's sure to intimidate the opposition at your local bashing arena! But the Savage XL isn't about just looking great, the HPI designers went all-out to make sure it performs as good as it looks!

Bigger in every dimension than the standard Savage X, the Savage XL is longer, wider, taller, more ground clearance and tires that are nearly 7" in diameter! It's based on the practically indestructible Savage X chassis and features durability upgrades like thicker 3mm TVP chassis plates, 3mm alloy engine plate, machine-cut steel differential rings and pinion bevel gears, steel spur gear, heavy-duty clutchbell, extra heavy-duty dogbones, larger diff outdrives, machined brake hub, dual fiber disk brakes and much more!

HPI makes it as easy for beginners to get into Nitro RC. The Savage XL RTR it is completely pre-built and ready to go right out of the box! HPI Ready-To-Run models bring you the same high performance and quality that you expect from racing kits with the added convenience of being factory pre-assembled to the highest standards.

Everything is assembled and tuned for you by professionals - radio system, diffs, slipper clutch, shocks and more are perfect before you even open the box! Just a few steps are needed to get your car up and running, such as adding the batteries to the transmitter and breaking in the engine - which is now even easier with our comprehensive manual.

Great truck seems to be tough as nails. I've put this through hell and have only broken a shock. The 5.9 matched to the 3 speed is an impressive combo. After owning this truck 2 years and seeing what it is capable of and how durable it is I know what the saying "savage tough" is all about. My other trucks would be in pieces if I beat them that hard.

The steering servo its 9kg.But for this big caris not very good. If you want a good servo then purchase the hitec HS7955TG.

I have had the Savage XL for about nine months now and man....this truck flies and has great power and has held up to ALL the punishment I have put it through with NO broken parts yet! (Knock on wood!) However.....the throttle and brake servos are okay for stock but a little under-powered and not real quick to responce. I would highly recomend that you change them out to something a little more powerful and more responsive.
The stock motor is a good motor and supplies plenty of power but guys...come on...we want MORE POWER right?? I replaced the stock motor with an O.S. .30VG (X) Pull start and WOW....this engine after proper break in has twice the power and makes this truck seem as if it's light as a feather. I have included a link where I got my O.S. VG .30 (X) pull start from....hope this helps!!

This is the most amazing RC truck I have ever owned. For its size, it handles extremely well and is incredibly fast. I have run gallons of fuel through mine and have not had any problems with it at all. It is extremely tough.

pre-purchase question

I went to the local hobby shop and had a look at the truck. I found that the steering is not much. Anyone who had purchased this truck tell me if the steering is good?

THE TRUCK IS VERY IMPRESSIVE, EXTR LONG, AND EXTRA WIDE. THE 3 SPEED IS VERY NICE, IT SHIFTS NICE AND SMOOTH. THE .36 HAS PLENTY OF TORQUE FOR WHEELIES, AND LOTS OF TOP END. SO FAR SO GOOD ON DURABILITY. HPI DID A GREAT JOB, I ONLY WISH IT WAS A LITTLE CHEAPER, AND HAD A LARGER FUEL TANK.
