New from HPI Racing is a high
performance update to unassembled Savage SS monster truck, the
Savage SS 4.6!
The heart of the Savage SS 4.6 is
a completely new 4.6cc (.28 cubic inch) engine that pumps out 2.9
horsepower for a top speed of 44 mph and enough power to do wheelies on
command! The powerful K4.6 engine has an anodized billet aluminum head
to keep it cool even during extreme off-road driving, true ABC
construction using a long-life chromed sleeve, an all-new 8.5mm
composite carburetor for high performance and improved high temperature
tuning, and a pullstarter for easy starting. The addition of our dual
chamber polished aluminum tuned pipe provides a wide powerband and
higher top speed, optimized with revised 47/17 gearing. And, a new dual
stage air filter with increased filtering capacity is included to help
protect and extend the life of the K4.6 powerplant.
To handle the extreme power we’ve
added heavy duty parts as standard equipment. Front and rear “4 gear”
differentials with updated gears are included for added durability. The
entire drivetrain is now equipped with heavy duty diff shafts and cup
joints for strength and extended service intervals. High grip Dirt Bonz
tires put the power to the ground, and they’re nearly 40% lighter than
our standard Savage tires for quicker acceleration. To beef up the
braking our dual disc brake kit is standard, featuring two vented
stainless steel disc brakes and a machined steel brake hub. Even the
steering has been upgraded to an accurate cam-type servo saver,
delivering quick steering response and added servo protection.
Since the Savage SS 4.6 is an
evolution of the original Savage SS, it includes the features that made
the SS so popular. It’s in kit form, not preassembled, so experienced
R/C modelers can have the pleasure and satisfaction of building it
themselves. Kits also allows owners to build the kit to their exact
specifications and customize the truck by adding any option parts such
as our Reverse Module, anodized TVP and roll bar sets and Roto Start
System during assembly. Since many drivers already have advanced radio
systems that are perfect for the Savage SS 4.6, we don't include a
radio, which helps lower the price so that we can add high performance
hop-up parts and still keep the cost of the truck low. Simply put, kits
are fun, convenient and price-conscious!
And, the Savage is one of the
toughest R/C monster trucks ever! From the heavy duty TVP chassis design
to the massive suspension arms, the Savage SS 4.6 is designed to be
driven hard and survive the challenge. And all Savage trucks are
supported with a huge assortment of available options parts from HPI and
other aftermarket companies, so owners can customize their Savage
exactly how they want it. Step up the speed, power and durability of a
Savage SS 4.6!
