HPI Savage X 4.6 Nitro Monster Truck Review
When you get the Savage X 4.6 Big Block Nitro Monster Truck you are making an
investment into FUN, period.
This is one of the most durable monster trucks for
sale on the market today. The new HPI racing savage x
4.6 has way better handling capabilities, a 2.4 GHz
radio system comes with it now and also - Look how
cool it looks man! Let's also not forget that it comes
with the all new
F4.6 Big block engine that is super
powerful - big time torque and horsepower guys.
If you're like me you'll love the new 2.4 GHz radio
controller. You don't have to worry about changing any
crystals because the 2.4 GHz radio transmitter will automatically
avoid radio conflicts. What's even cooler is that if you loose your
signal the Savage X RTR will come to an automatic stop - failsafe
switch baby!
Let's
not fool ourselves the HPI savage X 4.6 was made to be
durable to last your bashing sessions. Your suspension
is one of a kind and can take huge jumps
no matter how high. Don't even be worried about the
terrain because the Savage X 4.6 Nitro takes on anything
with ease.
But what about protection? Well for that you get the
TVP (Twin vertical plate) chassis which is
built like a rock - think aluminum parts do the trick
here folks. Beefy skid plates and your bumper are all up
to snuff when taking on damage. For those huge jumps HPI
Racing has added extra protection to your 4.6 Big block
engine with thicker plates.
So
how do I start this thing? With the Hpi racing savage x
4.6 y ou get the Roto Start 2 starting system.
All you do is stick the roto start 2 in the engines back
plate and BANG press that trigger - Zoom Zoom
baby!
The Roto Start 2 system also has a failsafe
technology so you never flood your engine - what a
plus!
Maintenance is pretty easy with the
Nitro Savage X 4.6. You can access all the main areas
with little difficulty and get in there to clean your
rc car parts.
Without taking apart the TVP you can get into the
gearbox from the overhead, that makes things way easier
for maintenance. You don't even need to remove the HPI
savage x 4.6 chassis - not required! Man doesn't
get much better then that!

One of the best things about HPI Racing these days is there RTR
(Ready To Run) Monster trucks. These all come ready to run right out
of the box and are already
tuned by the professionals. This means you don't
have to mess around figuring stupid things out and can get started
bashing right away.
What else do I get? You get full instructions which I must insist
are very important to read before you get started. The
instructions are step by step and it shows you how to
maintain, take apart, put back together your nitro truck. You also
get a parts list for when you are ready to upgrade hop ups.
Now you'll need a few things to get you started if
you don't go with a package deal. Such as...
HPI Plazma 7.2V 2000mAh Battery
Fuel Bottle
HPI Plazma AA Batteries
4-way wrench
Spare glow plug
Glow igniter
If you go with RC planet on our
online hobby shops
page, they give you these items with your HPI Racing
Savage X 4.6 when you buy it, so everything's all in one
place.
Now where were we... Oh right, the Savage X 4.6 has
way better handling then it's predecessor. You have huge
big bore shocks - 4 to be exact, that may be overkill
but it's totally worth it when you're bashing this
Nitro Monster Truck.

HPI Savage X 4.6 RTR Big Block Motor
The
Hpi Savage X F4.6 Big block engine is a work of art. It's primary function
is major horsepower and boy does it deliver. How much horsepower - 3 hp to
be exact, now that may seem funny to you, but 3 hp in a
remote control car is pretty
cazy.
How fast does it go? Well you can get this baby
over 45 mph - whoa!
Most people are worried about all this torque
and speed but HPI racing has thought of that
as well. It has a grey anodized machined aluminum cooling head that ensures
then engine stays at a very cool temperature. Here are some other things
think about with the F4.6 Big block engine...
8 port tuning
Aluminum Pistons
Chrome brass sleeves
7.5 mm composite carburetor
triple shoe clutch
Dual air filters - keeps shite outta your 4.6 big
block.
With crazy a$$ 4wd action you are going to need these
types of features that the F4.6 Big block engine
provides.

HPI Savage X 4.6 - Bodies & Looks

different colors such as...
Red

Yellow
Pink
Custom

painting your rc car bodies. What else looks good... let's see... ok right you
have black chrome warlock rc car tires, cool aluminum parts and
awesome grey anodized engine head.
