The "E" Stands for "Easy"
For durability and ease of use, the dual-battery, dual-motor electric E-Savage can't be beat! Full-time 4WD and Savage design place it well above any other electric monster truck you can find today!
The E-Savage is completely pre-built with and equipped with an electric drivetrain for total ease of use, tough build quality and outstanding power and performance! There's no easier or fun way to get into the world of off-road electric monster trucks! Simply charge and go!
The "E" Stands for "Extra"
The E-Savage isn't just about looking great, it's also a top performer, with loads of horsepower and torque! Equipped with two powerful 550-type motors, you'll experience massive hillclimbing power and blistering top speed! Each motor has a cooling fan inside so they run cool and generate high power.
For 14.4 volts of electric off-road power a pair of extra long-lasting 7.2V 3300mAh batteries (not included with the Sport version) deliver the energy. The batteries sit as low as possible in the chassis, and as close to the center as possible, for the best handling and performance whether you're on the racing track or at a fun bashing session! The E-Savage uses standard size 7.2V stick packs with standard connectors so upgrading with optional batteries is easy.
Controlling everything is a special dual motor, dual battery GT 14.4 volt electronic speed controller (ESC) which regulates the power to the motors. It features a tall purple aluminum heatsink to shed any excess heat and also has a reverse function so you can back out of trouble. With a fully proportional throttle you'll have fine control over the E-Savage! Setup is a breeze, too: a fully automatic setup function makes sure all you have to do is turn on the ESC to get it dialled in - no complicated setup procedures are required!
The GT Escape charger that is included with the full kit versions of the E-Savage is the perfect charger for the E-Savage! This is a fully-featured fast charger that can charge TWO standard stick pack batteries at the same time! The two 3300mAh batteries that are included with the full E-Savage kits can be charged in about an hour with the GT Escape charger. The charger's 12v input connects directly to your car's main battery or 12v accessory socket for the ultimate in convenience and ease. This allows you to quickly charge the batteries easily in your car as you drive to the track, or simply pop the bonnet to charge at your pit table! The GT Escape will fast charge any stick pack battery with standard RC plugs. You can also power the charger with mains power using an additional 12v DC power supply (not included).
The "E" Stands for "Endurance"
The E-Savage is based upon the strong foundation of the toughest RC monster truck around - the Savage! With its Twin Vertical Plate (TVP) aluminum chassis design, central transmission, 8 shock absorbers and dual wishbone suspension, the E-Savage is ready for anything!
Getting the power of the twin GT550 motors to the ground is the E-Savage's drivetrain, which features a racing-style twin plate slipper clutch, central transmission, sealed gear diffs and sliding universal dogbones. Every component uses sealed high efficiency ball bearings for efficiency, long life and durability.
With a complete Savage-inspired suspension, the E-Savage can take on and conquer anything you throw at it! Long wishbone arms give the E-Savage loads of ground clearance and plenty of suspension travel to let you get over any type of terrain, and over any type of obstacle. Just like the 1/8 scale Savage truck, the suspension is built for ultimate durability and extreme toughness! Two shocks support each corner of the truck and absorb all the bumps and rough landings the E-Savage will take as you bomb across the landscape! The final link of the drivetrain is the telescoping driveshafts which work together with the suspension and are super durable and extra-tough!
Big 5.4 inch all-terrain tires wrap around cool 5-spoke chrome wheels and grip on every surface - tarmac, grass, dirt and more! The block pattern of the tread ensures long life and stable grip on dirt and paved surfaces. The tires are wrapped around high gloss chrome wheels, pre-glued with inner foams pre-installed. The E-Savage uses a standard 14mm hex hub which makes the E-Savage compatible with a huge variety of already available Savage wheels and tires - so customizing your E-Savage is easy.
