The New Savage XL
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!
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!
Awesome XL Looks!
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 tyres are a perfect match for the new, bigger ‘Gigante' bodyshell!
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!
Size does matter...
Bigger in every dimension than the Savage X trucks that stand next to it, the XL is taller, longer and wider, with a longer wheelbase, more ground clearance and tyres nearly 7 inches across! It's based on the practically indestructible Savage X chassis but features even more durability upgrades like 3mm TVP plates and engine mount, machine-cut differential ring and pinion bevel gears, steel spur gear, heavy duty clutchbell, extra heavy-duty dogbones, new larger diff outdrives and axles, machined brake hub, dual fibre disk brakes and much more!

Extra-Long Alloy Chassis
To get the long wheelbase of the Savage XL, HPI designers settled on using an all-new extended TVP (Twin Vertical Plate) chassis that is made from 3mm thick 6061 aluminium. 6061-series aluminium is light and strong and provides the strength for stretching the Savage platform to its limits! The chassis features the cool Savage ‘X' styling, plus a few extra design features etched into the chassis to really make it stand out! The engine is fitted to a one-piece engine mount which is then firmly attached to a 3mm extra thick engine mounting plate that is mounted between the TVP chassis. These are the thickest standard TVP and engine plate parts ever used on a Savage monster truck, and can easily withstand the torque of the massive Nitro Star K5.9 engine, plus anything else you can throw at the truck.
The Savage XL is loaded with new features that make it the perfect choice for anyone looking for a massive great monster truck! Check out this hugely impressive list of new parts and custom features that are standard on the XL!
Tall All-Terrain Tyres
New Terra Pin tyres stand tall, at 170mm (nearly 7 inches across!) to soak up ruts, bumps, rough landings and more! The tough spike pattern makes the Terra Pins great in grass and loose dirt, while the chevron centre pattern give it good directional stability while on the harder stuff. The tall sidewalls provide extra shock absorption and allow the tyres to grip extremely as they roll over obstacles. Speaking of obstacles, they won't stand a chance as the Terra Pins roll over them!
3 Speed Transmission Installed
The Savage XL features the Savage 3-speed transmission to get the most out of the huge torque from the K5.9 engine. This gives you the best acceleration and top speed possible, getting all the power efficiently to the ground for maximum fun and enjoyment! The transmission is fully adjustable, too, so you can choose how early or late the XL will shift into higher gear!
Wider Stance & 17mm Hex Hubs
To widen the stance of the Savage chassis, the XL uses aluminium extending axles with 17mm hex hubs. These are lightweight and tough, and fit any 17mm hex monster truck or truggy type wheel, so your collection of monster truck wheels are perfectly usable! Serrated steel wheel nuts grip the plastic of the wheels to keep them locked in place, making sure that you'll never see a wheel bouncing past your truck!
New Tougher Suspension Uprights
The XL features all-new uprights designed for the larger tyres and weight of this massive beast, and HPI designers have made these parts standard across the Savage X range for even better durability for all Savage X trucks! Beefier parts means the truck can take far more abuse and punishment, giving you plenty of big-air thrills before a parts breakages forces you to take a break. These are the types of running changes HPI customers are used to, and why Savage owners keep coming back for more and more!
Reinforced All-Metal Differentials
The Savage XL continues the run of tough, overbuilt, solid monster trucks: a wide range of durability options, plus several new drivetrain parts, are a standard part of the Savage XL's arsenal of tricks. Machined diff ring and pinion bevel gears easily take the power of 5.9cc of nitro-burning mayhem, alloy diff cases and 4-gear diffs with new larger diff outdrives and axles round out the ultra-strong differentials, while extra heavy-duty dogbones get the power to both ends and all four wheels with ease.
Larger Diff Outdrives
Getting the power to the dogbones are larger, thicker and stronger diff outdrive cups. These machined steel outdrives can take the punishment of the suspension movement and the power of the K5.9 engine to get you through the toughest driving conditions and terrain with no problems!
Thicker Dogbones
New extra-thick, super duty dogbones provide the insurance you'll want when you take the XL way off-road and into rough country! The thicker diameter, larger ends and sleek black anodizing add up to all the assurance you'll want that the drivetrain won't let you down when the going gets tough! You'll be able to commit the full power of the K5.9 engine to the ground without worrying about drivetrain breakages or anything else!
