SAVAGE 5T

Desert Buster tires／Terra Pin Tires

You can use either Desert Buster Tires with great looks or Terra Pin Tires with great performance by switching the axle and wheel hub.

3 Speed Transmission Installed

The SAVAGE 5T features the Savage 3-speed transmission to get the most out of the huge torque from the K5.9 engine. Metal gears with the new high-speed 3rd gear give you legendary durability, consistent shifting, quick acceleration and high top speed. The transmission is fully adjustable, so you can choose when the SAVAGE 5T will shift into higher gear!

24mm Hex Hubs

Newly designed 24mm Hex Hubs are employed to accept the BAJA 5T wheels. In addition, a newly-designed Axle realizes optimum tread when the BAJA 5T-1 Truck Body is used.

Reinforced All-Metal Differentials

The SAVAGE 5T continues the tradition of tough, overbuilt HPI monster trucks with several new drivetrain parts that are a standard part of the SAVAGE 5T's arsenal of tricks. Machined steel diff rings and pinion bevel gears are built to 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.。

Thicker Dogbones

Heavy-duty Dogbones with thick shaft and end are used.

Machined Steel Spur Gear

A machined steel 52T spur gear is the perfect match for the horsepower of the Nitro Star K5.9 engine. With a heavy-duty vented clutchbell spinning the spur gear, you get a huge amount of drivetrain protection with gears that won't strip, melt or break in the roughest of terrain and conditions!

Aluminum Three-Shoe Clutch

The SAVAGE 5T uses a new 3-shoe aluminum clutch to get the power from the engine to the drivetrain. The aluminum clutch shoes will resist wear and engine heat for extra life and consistent launches. There's no more secure way to get the power to the ground!

High Torque Metal Gear Steering Servo

The HPI designers chose a super-strong, extra-tough high torque metal gear servo for the SAVAGE 5T. With nearly 9kg of force per centimeter, the SF-5 will get turn the large Terra Pin tires for responsive steering at any speed! There's no need to upgrade the servo - this baby's got it all! With the bellcrank steering and built-in servo saver, you can be sure that the SF-5 will be fully protected against crash damage or bad landings!

Rechargeable Receiver Pack and Charger

To make sure the servos have all the power they need and then some, we're throwing in an HPI 6 volt 1200mAh NiMH battery pack! This rechargeable pack even includes a convenient wall charger so you can make sure that the XL is always ready to rumble! You don't even need to take the pack out of the truck to charge it - just use the convenient charging jack built into the radio box and you're ready to go!

Tough ABC Construction

With true ABC construction (Aluminum case and piston, Brass Chrome-plated cylinder), the Nitro Star K5.9 delivers massive torque and horsepower and long engine life. The three-needle carburetor uses a 9.5mm inlet to get in as much fuel as possible and uses a composite body to prevent heat from the engine case affecting the fuel supply. A huge flow-through finned aluminum heatsink head keeps things cool, and even features sweet laser-etched logos!

Roto Start 2 Installed

Get things going quickly with the Roto Start 2 electric starting system pre-installed onto the back of the engine. The Roto Start 2 replaces the standard pullstarter with a handheld shaft-drive starting unit so you don't have to deal with pullstarting the engine by hand. Just install a charged 7.2v stick-pack battery into the Roto Start 2 hand unit, insert the shaft into the back of the engine, press the button and you're off! It doesn't get any easier!
