RC Bashers

The Savage XS Flux packs in everything you know and love about the neck snapping, standing backflip Savage Flux. A ridiculously powerful Flux brushless powerplant to provide you with the most menacing speed runs, legendary Savage durability that passes the bashing exam with flying colors, innovative TVP technology for a class leading design, and extreme monster truck appearance and ground clearance to conquer it all. Oh, did we mention that it fits in your backpack? That’s right, the compact Savage Flux XS goes where the standard size Savage can’t. At 2/3 the size of a standard Savage, the Savage XS Flux is the perfect size for backyard tracks.

The Savage XS Flux is built tough with an all-metal drivetrain so it can handle giant jumps and speeds over 65mph. The 4WD system provides excellent traction on any off-road or on-road surface you can throw at it. And it’s all built with legendary Savage toughness so you spend more time driving and less time wrenching.

Pre-assembled from the factory, the Savage XS Flux is ready to go right out of the box, including a 2.4GHz radio system and Flux brushless system. Just add your favorite 2S or 3S Li-Po battery pack and start driving!

The all-new 65+ MPH Savage XS Flux – The World’s Fastest Mini Monster Truck. PERIOD.

2.4GHz Radio System

Controlling the Savage XS Flux is easy with the HPI TF-40 2.4GHz radio system. No need to worry about changing crystals, the radio prevents frequency conflicts automatically. The TF-40 pistol grip transmitter features adjustments for steering trim, throttle trim, steering dual rate, end points, servo reversing switches, low battery indicator, and a 3rd channel for optional accessories. The 3 channel receiver is equipped with a failsafe system for maximum safety.

Waterproof Electronics

The Savage XS Flux has a waterproof receiver box to keep the 2.4GHz receiver protected from the elements for glitch-free operation. A new SF-10W waterproof steering servo and a waterproof VAPOR Pro electronic speed control mean your Savage XS Flux won’t be stopped by wet conditions.

Flux VEKTOR 4000 Motor

The Flux VEKTOR 4000 motor delivers massive power – plenty of juice for instant wheelies and standing backflips! Option pinion gears are available to fine-tune the speed and torque delivery! The brushless design assures maximum performance with nearly no maintenance required.

Flux VAPOR Pro ESC

With the capacity to handle 2S and 3S LiPo power, the Flux VAPOR Pro electronic speed control can take anything you can possibly throw at it and keep coming back for more! The VAPOR Pro features an integrated cooling fan to keep it cool in tough conditions. The Flux VAPOR Pro ESC is reversible so you can back out of jams with ease. And for maximum adjustability it’s fully programmable with our optional #100573 USB Programming Kit.

LiPo Battery Power

The Savage Flux XS is designed to use 2S or 3S LiPo packs. The battery box features vents to keep the battery pack cool, and we suggest using an official Deans® zero-loss battery plug to match the plug on the ESC.

All-Metal Transmission Gears

The Savage XS Flux 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 ball bearings for optimal efficiency, extra-long runtimes and mega-fast top speeds!

All-Terrain Tires

With the aggressive tread of the 2.2″ GT2 tires, you can go off-road to on-road with predictable handling. The center tread lines give you stability on paved surfaces while the blocky tread pattern and heavy-duty sidewall teeth provide grip for off-road terrain like dirt, mud, muck, leaves. They’re mounted on black chrome 2.2″ Warlock wheels for tough monster truck styling.

Silicone Filled Threaded Shocks

Four threaded shocks give the suspension action you need to get out and blast through the roughest of tracks or off-road terrain. Filled with silicone oil, the slick nylon bodies are lightweight and strong, with almost no ‘stiction’ between the shock piston and shock body for smooth and consistent damping.

Compatibility

For maximum hop-up potential, the Savage XS Flux accepts a wide variety of 1/10th scale 2.2″ wheels and tires, along with standard 1/10th scale servos, batteries, receivers and electronic speed controllers.

Pre-Painted Body

The GT-2XS monster truck body is wrapped with a “red flame” paint scheme just like the full size Savage Flux HP. It’s completely trimmed with decals pre-applied so you can hit the track quickly.

RTR – Performance Straight From the Box

HPI makes it as easy as possible to get into RC off-road action. The Savage XS Flux 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.

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!

awesome guys!!! i'd love to try and break it!

Anyone know the price point on it? Looks interesting.

Big Squid RC said that "it will own all minis", and it will since it isn't a real mini. When compared to a Traxxas Rustler, which is the most accurate representation of true 1/10 scale, it is very close in size. Much closer than its size comparison with the mini e-revo. The e-revo is of course harder to control by the fact that it's a mini. They even point out that the XS's power system is 1/10, and the only thing thats mini is the servo (which by every product review is said to be horribly underpowered). So better than any mini out there? Maybe, because it's 1/10 scale. The king of all minis? NOPE, because it itself isn't a mini. If this is HPI's idea of mini then I'd love to see what their idea of LARGE is!

It's the biggest mini but look at all minis. The mini class is the most varied. Compare a mini-t or rc18 with the merv and now the savage, completely different classes. HPI has a different opinion on the word mini anyway. Look at their 1:12 mini trophy truck. Compared to a slash or SC10 I guess it is mini.

but one thing not mentioned is the short course trucks are actually the larger end of the 1/10 range, the rustler is closer to 1/10 size and it really isnt much bigger than the xs. yeah i know it's a varied class, i've seen super micro losi crawlers that could fit in my hand no problem.

im not saying its a bad truck, because it isnt. im just saying that everybody seeing it as a mini has affected the way they compare it to other kits. because its classified as mini, its commonly compared to the mini e-revo and so then people fall for the xs & then start knocking the e-revo. if it was compared to a stampede, slash or rustler it'd be seen in a different light. after all, its got a 1/10 power system, 2.2" tires & is of course much bigger than any mini on the market. the only thing rated mini on it is the steering servo, which i hear has serious troubles controlling the kit.
