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 tire 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. The result is a giant truck with nimble and responsive handling previously found only on 4WD 1/10th scale trucks like our Nitro MT: very stable on or off throttle, with incredible jumping capabilities.

The Savage 21 comes factory assembled, everything is done for you! Even the tires are glued to the wheels. In less than 15 minutes you can be driving their Savage 21 trucks! Based on requests from our customers, HPI includes a complete Instruction Manual that covers the entire assembly/disassembly process.

Compatibility was also one of HPI's goals, so they made the Savage 21 compatible with the huge variety of existing bodies/wheels/tires that fit the T-Maxx. Of course, HPI will be offering many exciting option parts, we already have plans for extra bodies, a reverse module for the transmission, and several colorful anodized aluminum option parts!

To wrap up the package, the Savage 21 has a terrific price! The street price for the truck is expected to be under $500, a great value, especially considering that the Savage 21 comes with many features that would be expensive hop-ups on other trucks.
