The Savage XL FLUX combines the awesome raw power of 6S LiPo brushless power with the stability of a long wheelbase in the legendary Savage HPI monster truck package! The colossally powerful FLUX 2200KV motor is ready for all the power you can run through it, and the FLUX 6S-capable electronic speed controller is fully capable of up to 22.2 volts of power to let you pull off giant stunts and jaw-dropping speed. The Savage XL FLUX is packed with options and ready to rock right out of the box!

Crazy as FLUX Speed and Power

Easy plug-and-go convenience is the hallmark of electric RC trucks, and the Savage XL FLUX is no different. Just plug in two matching battery packs and you are off and running! The Flux 6S-capable speed controller can handle massive amounts of power, and you can fit standard 2S or 3S LiPo batteries, or our extra-long #106397 2S and #107222 3S LiPo batteries designed just for the Savage FLUX line of trucks! Want to break the speed limit with your monster truck? With the Savage XL FLUX, it's super-easy! With 2 3S LiPo batteries and on-road tires like our #4729 or #4731 mounted Phaltlines you can hit 62 mph (100km/h) with the pull of a trigger!
