For added convenience we have added our
convenient Roto Start System, eliminating the pullstarter
from the engine! Owners will no longer have to worry about
getting blisters from trying to start their engines - a
press of the button and the engine roars to life! An added
bonus of the Roto Start is that primer button on the fuel
tank isn’t needed, so we took it out to help reduce the
possibility of air leaks. While we were revising the fuel
tank we took the opportunity to move the fuel pick-up to the
rear of the tank to help make the truck run more
consistently through the entire tank of fuel. A ceramic
in-tank fuel filter is now standard.
The Savage 25 comes completely
factory assembled; everything is done for the customer - even
the tires are glued to the wheels. In less than 15 minutes
customers can be driving their Savage 25 trucks! Based on
requests from our RTR customers, we include a complete
Instruction Manual that covers the entire assembly/disassembly
process.
To top it off, we gave the Savage 25 a fresh new coat
of paint. The wild red/silver/graphite graphics are sure to
attract attention, and the entire body is completely ready to go
right out of the box. It’s painted, trimmed and decaled to look
exactly like the truck on the front of the Savage 25 box.
The heart of the Savage 25 is the powerful new
Nitro Star S-25 that has 20% more displacement than the previous
model. It’s a .25 cubic inch (4.1cc) big block engine that features
a billet aluminum heatsink head for extra cooling, dual bushing
aluminum connecting rod, true ABC chrome sleeve construction for
durability, and a simplified dual needle 7mm slide carburetor for
easier tuning with a composite body for better performance at higher
temperatures. The new S-25 is so powerful that we were able to gear
the truck for higher top speeds, yet still retain excellent punch
off the line. A high speed spur gear (49T) and larger clutchbell
(15T) are now standard equipment, and we also include an 18 tooth
clutchbell high speed on-road driving! Customers will immediately
notice that the Savage 25 has more punch and higher top speed
The powerful new Nitro Star S-25 engine
features:
20% larger displacement than the 21BB engine
Billet purple anodized aluminum heatsink head for improved
cooling and strength
Composite carburetor for improved heat resistance
Large 7mm carb opening for increased airflow
True ABC chrome sleeve construction for durability
and long life
Dual needle adjustments for easier tuning than the 21BB
Purple anodized aluminum carb trim
Stealth black case for improved cooling
The extra power of the Nitro Star S-25 engine won't
do any harm to the full-time 4WD drivetrain of the Savage SS -
equipped with the same proven hardened metal differentials of the
Savage 21 and with the addition of the chromed Heavy Duty Dogbones,
there is no need to worry about the durability of the powertrain!
The included slipper clutch and fiberglass disc brake are easily
adjustable for tuning the truck to optimal performance under all
track conditions.
Most of the chassis parts are
carried over from the Savage 21, proven to be extremely durable
and supported by a huge assortment of option parts from HPI and
other manufacturers. The running changes to the Savage 25 were
designed to maintain the excellent parts support already on the
market, yet offer the customer a faster and more durable truck.
To wrap up the package, the Savage 25 is competitively priced.
Even with the long list of added features – Roto Start, bigger
engine, extra gearing – the street price for the truck will only
be around $20 more than the Savage 21.
