This is the HPI Savage XS Flux RTR Micro Monster Truck. The Savage XS Flux is the World's Fastest Mini Monster Truck that packs in everything you know and love about the neck snapping, standing back flip Savage Flux, only in a smaller package. A ridiculously powerful Flux brushless power plant gives you the power you need for menacing speed runs, with 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. Plus, 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! Everything is assembled and tuned for you by professionals - diffs, shocks, suspension and more are perfect before you even open the box. 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!

2.4GHz Radio System
Controlling the Savage XS Flux is easy with the 2.4GHz radio system. No need to worry about changing crystals, the radio prevents frequency conflicts automatically. The 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 back flips! Optional 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 the optional HPI100573 USB Programming Kit.

it is very durable. i've crashed so many times, and the only thing i've lost are the turnbuckles.
3s lipo is kinda useless without changing the gears because it just tends to do backflips if you bump the throttle just a little bit. stick to 2s as i've also heard of ESC's catching on fire with 3s.
so the truck is incredibly durable. the electroncis BAAADDDD. servo is extremely slow, the radio system glitched and dyed on me (just a dud), the motor is ok, the esc sucks of all and burnt and is glitchy. so my opinion. GET THIS TRUCK! BUT!!!! buy the kit version they sell, they give you good upgrade parts such as aluminum shocks which are nice but not needed, and cvds which are needed.
so its an awesome truck!! but buy your own electronics. the new castle sv3 (NEW waterproof) is a good option for people on a budget. a hitec 646-wp servo (waterproof), and your choice of battery and radio system.
