Introduction to the HPI Electric Savage Truck

The HPI E-Savage (HPI # 507) is an exciting 1/10th scale Ready to Run (RTR) electric Savage truck . This 4WD rc truck is powered by potent twin 550 motors with Electronic Speed Control (ESC). The eSavage shares some of the same features as it's bigger nitro powered brother - including the Twin Vertical Plate (TVP) chassis design and 8 long travel shocks. Twin 7.2V battery packs sit low in a V pattern in the sides of the TVP chassis plates to help keep the center of gravity lower and improve handling characteristics.

HPI E-Savage RTR Electric Savage Truck

The HPI electric Savage comes RTR with 2 powerful 3300mah NiMH battery packs and a quick charger that can recharge both batteries simultaneously. Electricity is managed by the ESC which supplies the 14.4V to the powerful twin 550 motors and provides reverse and braking functions as well. Large 5.4" diameter tires mounted on attractive chrome wheels are ready to tackle rough terrain. Standard 14mm hex hubs also allow a huge variety of aftermarket wheels and tires to be bolted onto the HPI eSavage. The stock tires have a long life block tread pattern that provides good grip both ON or OFF road. Inside each pre-glued tire is a foam insert that helps support the tire and enhance the traction and handling of the HPI E-Savage. And lots of traction is what this this truck needs! With twin 550 motor power on tap, wheelies on command are the name of the game when the tires hook up!

Each of the 550 motors has an internal fan to help keep the motors cooler for increased performance and reliability. The powerful motors also work hard in reverse to provide potent braking power. And each motor has a pinion gear that meshes with a single spur gear. A heavy duty slipper clutch is incorporated into the spur gear design and is adjustable to help protect the driveline from shock loads. Twenty two ball bearings support the driveline and helps reduce friction to put more power to the ground. Heavy duty front and rear differentials distribute the power to all 4 wheels.
