HPI Savage XL Nitro SBK 1/8 4WD Monster Truck Kit - 160550

Build Your Own Legend.

For two decades, the HPI Savage has been the undisputed heavyweight champion of the RC monster truck world. Now, with the HPI Savage XL Nitro SBK (Self Build Kit), you don't just drive the legend—you build it from the ground up.

Designed for the true nitro enthusiast, this kit lets you experience the satisfaction of assembling one of the most iconic monster trucks ever created. Because it's a true builder's kit, it comes entirely without electronics or an engine. You get to drop in the exact big-block nitro powerplant, servos, and radio system you want, giving you total control over the truck's final performance, weight, and setup.

Why You'll Love It:

• Legendary TVP Chassis: At the core of the Savage XL is the iconic extra-long Twin Vertical Plate (TVP) chassis. It provides unmatched rigidity and protects your crucial driveline components during the most brutal bash sessions.
• Heavy-Duty Drivetrain Upgrades: This isn't just a re-release. The SBK features performance-focused upgrades including precision-machined 29/9T bulletproof differential gears and new steel second and third gear components for the legendary 3-speed transmission.
• Modern Hardware: The entire kit has been updated with premium hex hardware for easier assembly, superior torque down, and frustration-free maintenance.
• Unmatched Stance: With its extra-long wheelbase (395mm) and wide track, the Savage XL is incredibly stable at high speeds and over rough terrain, making it the ultimate platform to handle the torque of modern high-power nitro engines.
