Product Announcements May 18, 2010
Check out the new HPI Savage Flux – a brushless, lithium polymer battery-powered RC electric monster truck. The HPI Savage Flux is a ready to run (RTR) RC truck that includes the following pre-installed and tested hardware:
- An HPI Flux Tork 2200Kv Brushless Motor
- An HPI 27MHz TF-3 2-channel radio receiver and transmitter
- Two battery bays for TP-5000-2SPRD lipos with Deans connectors
- A Rigid 6061-series aluminum TVP 0.098″ (2.5mm) thick chassis
- An HPI Flux Blur ESC with reverse functionality
- A machined steel 44 tooth spur gear
- A pre-painted and finished body with red flame artwork
One of the coolest new features of the HPI Savage Flux is its twin battery bays, which can carry two high performance TP-5000-2SPRD Thunder Power Sport Race Lipo Batteries. Using two lipo batteries doubles the power and voltage available to the brushless motor, which lets you do amazing tricks and move at fast speeds, all while maintaining a long runtime. Using lipo batteries and a brushless motor actually offers you more power and greater flexibility than comparable nitro setups for three main reasons:
- You don’t have to bother with all the setup break-in and tuning that nitro engines require to run reliably.
- Electric power systems can be switched on and off instantly, whereas comparable nitro systems need glow heaters and starters.
- Electric motors are much cleaner than nitro engines and won’t cover your RC truck with oil from exhaust.
The HPI Savage Flux is great for doing tricks, as you can see in these videos:
Want the ultimate charging setup for your HPI Savage Flux? We recommend:
- Two Thunder Power TP-5000-2SPRD lipoly batteries
- A Thunder Power 610C lipo balance charger
- An Octopus charging adapter
- A Pro Peak 13.8 volt power supply
- A LipoSack fire retardant battery charging sack
This set of equipment is perfect for the HP Savage Flux and is also flexible enough to work with most electric RC planes, helicopters, cars and trucks.
The HPI Savage Flux RC Monster Truck comes with a pre-built suspension system, which makes it the perfect RC Truck for off-road enthusiasts. If you’re into electric RC cars and trucks, this is the ultimate setup for you. If you enjoy nitro, the Savage Flux is a great way to start exploring the world of electric RC cars and trucks.
