HPI-Savage-Hop-Up-2

VEHICLE: HPI RTR SAVAGE X 4.6
TYPE: 1/8-scale RTR nitro 4WD monster truck Price: $464.97 (item no. 109083)
HPI-Savage-Hop-Up-3HOP-UP: HPI D-Box 2 Adjustable Stability Control System
PRICE: $68.99 (105409)
The HPI D-Box 2 is a very handy little device that can help keep your big and powerful monster truck in control, especially on slippery surfaces. You can enter turns with more confidence knowing the D-Box 2 is there to keep your rig from looping out and it is adjustable to suit your specific driving style or surface conditions. It simply connects between the receiver and steering servo, so adding it to the Savage is a cinch.
HPI-Savage-Hop-Up-9HOP-UP: Pro-Line Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Clear Body
PRICE: $38.95 (3405-00)
Don’t have your Savage X look like all the other monster trucks with pick-up style bodies. Make your rig stand out with a body from Pro-Line like this great looking Jeep Wrangler clear body. Paint it to suit your exact likes and once mounted, it will seem like you have an entirely new truck. Keep in mind you will need extended rear body posts for this body.
HPI-Savage-Hop-Up-10HOP-UP: THS Racing 1/8 Savage Hard Coated Tuned Exhaust System
PRICE: $67.50 (THS825H)
The exhaust system on a nitro-powered vehicle is something that commonly is overlooked when people go to boost the performance of their vehicle. Installing this hard coated exhaust pipe from THS Racing, which is specifically tuned for big engines like the F4.6 big block found in the Savage X, will definitely increase performance. The system includes the pipe  manifold, seal, three fastening springs, manifold spring and mounting rod
