Other HPI news included the world introduction of two new “SS” trucks, the Savage X SS 4.6 and the Hellfire SS. The Savage X SS is a build-it-yourself kit version of the Savage X, featuring the big K4.6 engine with wheelie-popping power. It comes with an alloy tuned pipe to make it breathe, grippy Dirt Bonz tires for off-road traction, heavy-duty drivetrain pieces to handle the power, a dual stainless steel disc brake for consistent braking power, adjustable upper link turnbuckles, a clear body, and no radio so you can install your own race-quality components. All of the great new Savage X features are there, easy access diffs and tranny, 17mm hex hubs, low CG chassis, tough nylon roll hoop and roll cage, and the much-improved radio box that makes getting into the radio gear a snap. The Savage X SS 4.6 is slated for a June release and will definitely be a popular kit for hard core Savage fans and anyone that likes to bash monster trucks…hard! |
