| > HPI, Traxxas, Thunder Tiger IC Monster Trucks | Pull and electric starters have revolutionised petrol and nitro powered model cars, trucks and buggies. With starting much easier, nitro is the preferred power for high performance models, the better torque and brilliant acceleration is a real `blast'. More maintenance is necessary than with electric powered models and so nitro is only suitable for ages mid/late teens and up. Read the Antics help sheet before starting.
Most nitro engines employ a glow plug, which must be heated with a battery powered `glow start', to make starting easy. Many of our deals include the starting pack but check the description to be sure.
Drive Safely! We recommend the fitting of a failsafe device, product 5299008, to prevent these high powered cars running away if radio signal is lost, or receiver batteries run low. A small price to pay for peace of mind.
Good performance, good quality, good service and good spares backup! If you drive your racer to the limit it will need maintenance and all these things will be important. Buy the best from Antics!

| HPI 1/8 Savage XL 5.9 Big Block with Reverse (10517)
# HP10517 - Savage XL 5.9 Big Block RTR Monster Truck The Savage XL - Extra Large Size and Mega Power!
Check out the new macho addition 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 (.32 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!
The Savage XL is all about: Extreme Size...Extreme Power...Extreme Menace!
The Savage X 4.6 is all about: Extreme Action...Extreme Speed...Extreme Performance!
The wide front grille and huge headlights of the XL bodyshell merge with the flared wheel arches front and rear for a huge ‘wow factor', adding to the impression of huge size and strength! The tall, wide Terra Pin wheels fit the bodyshell perfectly for a fantastic scale look that's sure to intimidate the opposition at your local bashing arena! Finally, while the new 8-hole wheels look huge, they use a standard 17mm hex hub so it's easy to change the look and style of the XL as often as you like!
The Savage XL isn't all just looking great, but we went all-out to make sure it looks as impressive as it performs!
To extract the most out of the S-25 engine we added a polished aluminium dual chamber tuned pipe, delivering a smooth and wide power band for excellent drivability. The polished aluminium body dissipates heat more efficiently than the stock plastic pipe, and also gives the truck a custom look with its shiny surface and laser-etched HPI Racing logo. For extra tuning choices, the truck comes standard with 15T/49T gearing and we include optional 19T and 49T gears that give 4 different gear ratio combinations to choose from so that owners can dial in the gearing for optimum performance.
To help stop the truck from high speeds, dual stainless steel drilled disc brakes are standard equipment. With twice the surface area of the stock brakes, the dual discs give the truck the ability to stop time after time with no brake fade. And, peak braking is now high enough to do stunts like "brakies" on command. The cross-drilled stainless rotors are also more durable and provide improved braking in extreme driving conditions like mud, sand and water.
To make the Savage Limited Edition look great we added shiny chrome 6 spoke wheels and a special metallic blue/silver/graphite paint job for the GT-1 body. Standard rubber is our grippy Dirt Bonz tyres that not only look great, but also give the truck incredible handling and performance for off-road driving. At nearly 40% lighter than the stock tyres, the Dirt Bonz deliver quicker acceleration, more grip and faster lap times on the race track. All of the latest Savage upgrades are pre-installed: Cam-type servo saver for more accurate and responsive steering, 4-gear diffs for extra durability, improved throttle and brake linkage, rear tie-rod washers, 3 shoe clutch for quick acceleration, and our new high performance air filter to help protect the engine from dirt and dust.

And the legendary Savage "Proven Tough" parts are standard equipment: Aluminium alloy TVP chassis plates, tough reinforced nylon suspension arms, front and rear impact bumpers, alloy roll hoop, 8 long stroke oil-filled shocks, stainless steel hinge pins, and full-time four wheel drive make the Savage one of the toughest Monster Trucks ever. Power comes from the proven S-25 engine that features a billet aluminium heat sink head for extra cooling, dual bushing aluminium connecting rod, true ABC chrome sleeve construction for long engine life, a composite body for better performance at higher temperatures, and a simplified dual needle 7mm slide carburettor for easier tuning. The electronic Roto Start engine starting system is included, making starting the engine as simple as pressing a button. The combination of the S-25 engine, 3-speed tranny and tuned pipe give this Limited Edition truck plenty of power for hours and hours exciting off-road driving.
The Savage 25 comes completely factory assembled; everything is done for the customer - even the tyres are glued to the wheels. The body is completely ready to go right out of the box. It's painted, trimmed and decaled to look exactly like the truck on the front of the Savage Limited Edition box. In less than 15 minutes customers can be driving their Savage 25 trucks! As always, this Savage is compatible with a huge amount of tuning and hop-up options from HPI and a wide variety of aftermarket manufacturers, making it infinitely adjustable for owners who like to customize their trucks.
