Extra-Low CG
The Flux Tork 2200 motor sits extremely low in the chassis, providing
as low a center of gravity (CG) as possible, and the twin battery packs
ride on the outside of the TVP chassis for easy access. The low CG gives
you extra control and cornering ability, allowing you to rule the
corners on the track and pull off spectacular stunts to impress and wow
your friends!
The picture to the right shows the Savage Flux HP chassis with the
battery case removed, showing you how low the motor sits in the chassis.
Twin Battery Power
Brushless motors like the Flux Tork 2200 are already super powerful
with just one battery compared to their older brushed ancestors, so you
can imagine what two battery packs will be able to provide! The Savage
Flux HP can take up to 16 NiMH cells (split up with 2 x 6-cell, 2 x
7-cell or 2 x 8-cell battery packs) or 2 LiPo packs of either 2S 7.4v or
3S 11.1v construction. The battery boxes feature vents to keep the
batteries cool, and we suggest using official Deans zero-loss battery
plugs.
Flux Tork 2200 Motor
The Flux Tork 2200 motor is one of the biggest and most powerful
brushless motors available, and was selected specifically for its
massive power delivery and voltage handling. It can take up to 25 volts
of power, delivering hordes of power - plenty of juice for instant
wheelies and standing backflips! The Tork 2200 is held in place with 2
machined 8mm billet aluminum motor clamps secured to the 3mm 7075 alloy
motor mount to prevent it moving once the gear mesh is set. Option
pinion gears are available to fine-tune the speed and torque delivery!
Flux Blur ESC
With the capacity to handle up to 6S LiPo power and more NiMH cells
than can actually fit in the Savage Flux HP, the Flux Blur electronic
speed control can take anything you can possibly throw at it and keep
coming back for more! Fully programmable with our #100573 USB
Programming Kit and fitted with fat 6mm bullet connectors, the Blur
delivers power to the Tork 2200 motor in massive gulps of voltage while
the integrated cooling fan keeps everything at a reasonable operating
temperature.
All-Metal Transmission Gears
The Savage Flux HP features all-metal transmission gears to make sure
that power delivery is uninterrupted and every jolt of power gets from
the motor to the tires efficiently and with no worry of damage to the
gears. The whole drivetrain runs on rubber-sealed ball bearings for
optimal efficiency, for extra-long runtimes and mega-fast top speeds!
XL Tough Suspension
The Savage Flux HP features the uprights designed for the larger tires
and weight of the Savage XL, giving you the assurance that you'll be
able to deal out the same abuse that all the other nitro-powered Savage
trucks can handle! Beefy parts mean the Savage Flux HP can take the
abuse and punishment of extreme off-road driving.
Machined Diff Gears
Equipped with #102246 Machined Super Heavy Duty Bevel Gears, you can
be sure that the diffs of the Savage Flux HP will last for a long time,
taking the punishment of the Flux Tork 2200 motor! The entire drivetrain
can be upgraded with all the option parts available to nitro Savage
owners, letting you upgrade and bulletproof your truck as desired.
Thick Super Heavy-Duty Dogbones
Extra-thick, super duty dogbones provide the durability you'll want
when you take the Savage Flux HP into rough country! The thick diameter
and larger ends add up to a drivetrain that won't let you down when the
going gets tough! You'll be able to commit the full power of the Tork
2200 motor to the ground without worrying about drivetrain damage!
Machined Steel Spur Gear
A machined steel spur gear is the perfect match for the power of the
Tork 2200 motor. The pinion gear spins on a 5mm motor shaft and optional
pinion gears will be available after the Savage Flux HP is launched.
With the all-metal drivetrain running from the motor to transmission,
and from the gearbox to the diffs, you get a huge amount of drivetrain
protection with gears that won't strip, melt or break! You'll have
security and peace of mind that your truck will not only perform
superbly, but last as long as possible in the roughest of terrain and
conditions!
Big Bore Nylon Shocks
Four huge Big Bore shocks give the suspension action you need to get
out and blast through the roughest of tracks or off-road terrain. With
slick nylon bodies they are lightweight and strong, with almost no
friction 'stiction' between the shock piston and shock body. The
extra-large capacity gives you extra control and damping action so you
have the driving feel that makes off-road driving so much fun!
SF-5 High Torque Metal Gear Steering Servo
HPI designers chose a super-strong, extra-tough high torque metal gear
servo. With nearly 9kg of force per centimeter (that's 126psi!), the
SF-5 will get the GT-2 tires turning easily 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!
Savage Wheelie Bar Incluced
The #85245 is included as standard, ready for you to bolt on in case
you want to pull impressive wheelies to wow your friends. Want to pull
off jaw-dropping standing backflips without a ramp? Leave the wheelie
bar off, we don't mind - just be prepared for your friends to ask for
the controller! It's OK if you say no and tell them to get their own,
though!
GT-2 Bodyshell with All-New
Flame Paint Scheme
To give the sleek GT-2 body a new look we've wrapped it with the
coolest pre-painted paint scheme we've ever seen - dark grey and red
flames give the body an entirely new look and celebrate the unbelievable
power of the Savage Flux HP.
RTR - PERFORMANCE STRAIGHT FROM THE BOX
HPI makes it as easy as possible to get into RC off-road action. The
Savage Flux HP is completely pre-built and ready to go right out of the
box!
Everything is assembled and tuned for you by professionals - diffs,
shocks, suspension and more are perfect before you even open the
package. And with many of the top Savage options already installed, you
don't have to do a thing to get going fast!
HPI Ready-To-Run vehicles bring you the same high performance and
quality that you'd expect from a high end RC kit but with the added
convenience of being factory pre-assembled to the highest standards -
giving you a high performance RC truck straight from the box!
HPI RTR cars and trucks are 98% factory assembled - they come
Ready-To-Run and equipped with all the radio gear required. Just a few
steps are needed to get your car up and running, such as adding the
batteries to the transmitter and charging up your choice of batteries to
fit in the truck!
Full Assembly Instructions and HPI RC Cars DVD
As with all HPI cars and trucks, you get a full, in
depth instruction manual with step by step instructions that allow you
to easily disassemble and reassemble your monster truck for maintenance
and easy servicing.
The information on the HPI RC Cars DVD provides a complete and
detailed introduction to the fascinating world of RC cars and trucks.
This DVD will show you how to get the best performance from your HPI RC
vehicle.
The HPI RC Car DVD is your personal RC car expert in a box!
High Quality Radio Gear
The reliable and sturdy HPI TF-3 radio controls the
Savage Flux HP, giving you superb control in a well-designed pistol-grip
radio! The steering wheel design makes you feel as if you're actually
driving the truck, and the trigger-style throttle and brake controls
provide you with finger-sensitive action when accelerating and stopping!
The radio transmitter features interchangeable frequency crystals so
you can drive with your friends, servo reverse switches, a retractable
aerial with sliding cover, easy access to radio adjustments and simple
AA battery replacement.
The new RF-6 2-channel receiver takes the commands from the
transmitter and transfers them reliably to the Flux Blur ESC and the
steering servo. Taking care of the steering duties for the Savage Flux
HP is the tough metal-gear HPI SF-5 high-torque servo, which has plenty
of grunt to turn the front wheels at low and high speeds, in any sort of
terrain. A truck this size needs the power and torque of a strong
servo, and the SF-5 is just the ticket, providing 8.9kg/cm2 at 6 volts
(that's 126 psi!) of power.
The HPI TF-3 radio gives you long-range and reliable communication
with your truck. Finally, if you ever want to upgrade your electronics
you'll find it extremely easy, because all of the electronics are
standard-size RC components with standard connectors. Any of the
components can be upgraded or replaced whenever you like, or even moved
into a different RC vehicle in the future.
