It’s A Gas – RTR Savage XL with Gasoline Engine

Hot News — 02 February 2012

The natural fit for the brand new eXtreme Gas petrol engine is the Savage XL monster truck!

With the long wheelbase and bulky lines of the bodyshell, the big eXtreme Gas engine is the perfect fit. The power available from the eXtreme Gas engine means it will be able to spin up the large Terra Pin tires and have loads of top speed when it’s going all-out!

HPI eXtreme Gas engine is perfect fit
Fits large fuel tank for long running times
Custom tuned pipe for even better performance

I would actually consider getting back into small scale fueled cars again with a gasoline engine in them.

I did nitro for a while, but found it too finicky (constant tuning) and too expensive for fuel. It was too bad nitro car engines never got as durable or reliable as nitro airplane engines, which run well for years with little work and tuning needed.

These small gasoline engines should be a big hit.

I guess its a no go.Been waiting for updates now I am discouraged.Allready over half way threw the year whats going on…Sounds like a good I deal.Even cool to maybe drop in a bit of a larger motor.The main thing I wish is they would pute more thought into the exhaust.Shure would be nice to have a detailed and functional rear exited exhaust set up.Its half the motor?
