The HPI Savage XL is the most bullet proof R/C monster truck that you can buy. This truck will amaze you with how much abuse that it will take. It took me trying to do a double front flip with it and nose diving straight into the ground from appoximately 15 feet in the air for it to break a part. All it broke was an arm in the steering and it cost me a whole $3 and 15 minutes to repair and I was back out abusing it. It also surprised the daylights out of me when I went to my local track and entered it in the 1/8 truggy class. I was able to finish 3rd with only Team Associated RC8T's beating me. I am very impressed with the speed and the handling of the truck. Like I said I got beat by 2 800 plus dollar R/C's. What had made me decide to buy it was that it was my first R/C and I wanted something that could take some abuse without it breaking everytime you looked at it funny. I watched a lot of videos on youtube and I recommend that you do the same. You will see what people do to these things and how strong they are.Read full review

I love my truck. I have a savage xl made by HPI. It's the most durable and reliable truck on the market as far as I'm concerned. I did alot of research before I made my purchace and found that it had everything I was looking for. It can jump an excess of 70 feet out and 20 feet high and not only survive but thrive as well. I't loves to be in the air. also with the right tires it can do cyclone doughnuts. With the terra-pin tires and the brakes adjusted properly it can do front endos as well as awesome wheelies. With any hobby, the is a continuious investment. that must be taken into account. These types of vehicles are not for children. They are for big kids at heart. I've had lots of toys in my life. Muscle cars, jet skies motorcycles, you name it , and nothing I've ever done made me shake when I did it. This does. I literally shake from the adrenalin rush. It's absolutely awesome.Read full review
The HPI Racing Savage XL Radio Controlled Truck is an overall good product. It runs smoothly, but the transmission gears were placed backwards by the manufacture and the gears broke which caused for me to purchase a new transmission. Once I replaced the transmission, I haven't had any other issues with the truck. It runs great and enjoy to watch it run fast. The frame of the truck is made to ride tough. The only thing that I dislike about this truck is that it rolls over too quickly. I would purchase another again, if I had the opportunity to do so. I didn't purchase this Savage, but rather it was a gift, but like I stated before I would purchase one again if I had the opportunity to do so.
This truck is literally a savage. Stock it is a little hard to steer but once you start with the upgrades you can build a awesome rc. I liked it so much I got two.
