HPI Racing is proud
to introduce their biggest truck ever, the powerful 1/8th scale Savage 21!
Designed to take the giant nitro truck class to a new level of performance, the
Savage 21 is a completely new design. It's factory assembled and ready for
unbelievably high performance right out of the box.
The Savage 21 is not a small truck with a "big block conversion", it was
designed from the outset to be able to handle the massive horsepower generated
by the Nitro Star 21BB engine. The suspension arms are HUGE, and the dogbones
and hinge pins are nearly twice as thick as the ones found on our Rush truck.
The heavy-duty drivetrain is built tough, incorporating an adjustable slipper
clutch, a complete set of rubber sealed ball bearings, metal gears and hardened
components in the critical areas. A durable shaft drive system powers all four
wheels for long tyre life and maximum traction on any surface.
The heart of the Savage 21 is a powerful .21 rear exhaust big block engine that
features true ABC chrome sleeve construction, a fully adjustable dual needle 7mm
slide carburetor, a large aluminum heatsink head, and a convenient pullstarter.
A high performance exhaust is included, using a high flow aluminum tube exhaust
header and a large dual chamber composite tuned pipe. The engine is mated to a
two speed transmission that shifts from low to high gear automatically.
To help handle the power of the new 21BB engine we made the Savage 21 a full 2
inches wider and longer than a T-Maxx. The longest shock absorbers and
suspension movement in its class allows the Savage 21 to soak up rough terrain
with ease. A rigid aluminum TVP chassis (Twin Vertical Plates) gives the truck a
strong and stable platform for extreme performance. The TF-4 radio system
features super narrowband AM reception for long range driving, 3 channels for
expandability, and the steering servo is a special high torque version tuned for
the demands of a giant truck.
