HPI has raised the bar by adding
a massive F4.6 engine and beefed up the chassis and
drivetrain to handle the power. The result is a truck
that has enough Big Block power to do wheelies on command
with a scorching top speed of more than 45 MPH. A huge
list of performance and durability upgrades come standard
in the RTR Savage X 4.6, so you know that you've got
a truck that can handle extreme off-road driving.
Included with the Savage X 4.6 are
two of HPI's latest option parts: Alloy Diff Cases and
new stronger brake disks!
The Alloy Diff Cases prevent damage
to the internal diff gears, even with the power of a
Big Block engine. The result is more driving and less
maintenance!
New dual disk brakes provide more stopping
power and are more fade-resistant than ever!
Savage X 4.6 Durability
Eight long coil-over shocks absorb any type of rough
terrain you can throw at the RTR Savage X 4.6, 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 reinforced "X"
TVP chassis, which features a custom 'X' graphic. Structural
webbing and extra screws have been added to the central
gearbox to improve durability, and add stiffness. Extra
material was added to the skid plates and bumper to
help the Savage X 4.6 survive huge jumps and crashes.
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
The ne w 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)! And Big Block TORQUE is always
on tap, just pull the throttle and you'll know you're
not driving a small block. You want speed? You want
torque? You've got it!
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 large
anodized machined aluminum head keeps the engine cool.

Rough off-road terrain and extreme stunts are
not a problem with this engine! The F4.6 features true
ABC construction (Aluminum piston, Chrome-plated Brass
sleeve), 8 port tuning, a 7.5mm composite carburetor,
heavy duty triple shoe clutch, plus an updated Roto
Start 2 electronic starting system for easy starting.
A dual-stage air filter protects the F4.6 from dust
and dirt kicked up by the 4WD action!
The F4.6 engine is 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!

Drivetrain
HPI designers wanted to make sure the
Savage X 4.6 drivetrain could handle the extra power
of the Nitro Star F4.6. The Savage drivetrain features
a permanent 4WD system and spins on rubber-sealed ball
bearings, plus it features an adjustable 2 speed transmission.
To add extra strength, aluminum alloy diff cases are
now standard on the front and rear differentials, pre-installed
and shimmed to extend the maintenance interval of the
HPI 4-gear differential. The 17T clutch bell has been
modified so it engages the spur gear with extra consistency.
A steel spacer is used on 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! Finally, to make sure you can stop this beast
as quickly, the Savage X 4.6 is equipped with a new
twin vented disk brake made from heat-resistant fiber
material to give you more 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.
The 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, toughest truck around!
With all of this power and durability,
the jumping ability of the Savage X 4.6 is unsurpassed
by any other monster truck. With a top speed of over
45 MPH, hitting a ramp with something this size must
be seen to be believed! Back flips, forward flips, double
back flips 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.
