Savage XL Design with Flux Power The Savage XL FLUX is based on the already awesome long wheelbase and extra-wide Savage XL platform, featuring a low-mounted FLUX 2200KV motor in place of the big-block nitro engine, a powerful FLUX 6S-capable speedo in place of the fuel tank, and twin battery boxes hanging on the outside to hold a variety of battery types. Power your Savage XL FLUX with a pair of matching LiPo batteries equipped with 2S 7.4v or a whopping 3S 11.1v power! This truck is packed with HPI upgrades and options, including the 2.5mm TVP (Twin Vertical Plate) chassis, tough all-metal gear drivetrain, extra-powerful metal-gear servo, sintered diff gears and legendary Savage suspension parts and shock towers for extreme durability! Big Bore shocks at each corner of the Savage XL FLUX take up the shock of big-air landings and give you excellent control and traction on any surface.
Please see our note below recommending LiPo batteries above 4000mAh and 25C to get the most out of the electronics in the Savage XL FLUX.
Controlling the Flux 2200 motor is the Flux ELH-6S electronic speed controller, the most powerful brushless speed controller we could fit in the Savage XL FLUX. With the ability to handle twin 3S LiPo batteries (that's a total of 6S LiPo power!) it can deal with anything the Flux 2200 motor can dish out! 6.5mm bullet connectors secure the motor wires for loss-free connection to the 12-gauge wires, and to connect to each battery pack we've attached two real Dean's connectors for zero power loss and total efficiency. We figured why re-invent the wheel and release our own connector when the best is already available? Topping off the versatility of the speedo (literally) is an integrated cooling fan, which allows the speedo to operate at its ideal temperature.
Input voltage: MIN 2s LiPo, MAX 6s LiPo Max continuous amperage: 150A (full throttle continuous operation with cooling airflow) BEC specifications: 6V/3A Switching BEC Brake: Proportional Reversible: Yes - with lockout Size: L 59.5mm (2.34"), W 48mm (1.89"), H 42mm (1.65") Weight: 178 g (6.28 oz)
Finally, you have the ability to easily connect it to your computer for total programming control! With our #101856 Flux Reload ESC Program Box you can connect the ELH-6S to any Windows-based PC to control all the various facets of its power delivery, braking, throttle curves, battery cut-off and much more. You can also save various profiles to have profiles for racing, insane speed runs, stunts, fun running and more.
Motor and Battery Combinations The Flux Tork Brushless Motors requires very powerful batteries to get the most out of them - please make sure that you use the right combination! HPI highly recommend the use of LiPo batteries above 4000mAh and 25C. Using batteries with lower ratings, or the use of lower quality LiPo batteries, may cause damage to battery and/or speed control. Using batteries below the specified ratings may void the warranty of the speed controller and/or batteries. The term Kv refers to the number of RPMs that the motors will try to deliver per volt applied, and is a standard term for brushless motor power.

Extra-Low CG
The FLUX 2200Kv motor sits extremely low in the chassis, providing as low a centre of gravity (CG) as possible, and the twin battery packs ride on the outside of the TVP chassis plates, where the tuned pipe and fuel tank on a nitro-powered Savage would usually rest. The low CG gives you extra control and cornering ability, allowing you to rule the corners on the track and pull off spectacular stunts to impress and wow your friends!
Super Durable Savage Drivetrain
To handle the FLUX power we've added nearly every drivetrain upgrade we have into the Savage XL FLUX! The spur gear and pinion are heavy duty steel and the transmission features all-metal gears. The differentials are fitted with extra-tough sintered metal heavy-duty differential pinion and ring gears, plus sintered metal 4-gear internals and metal casings at both ends. Steel diff outdrives, extra-thick super heavy-duty dogbones and steel extended axles finish off the drivetrain, and everything spins on rubber-shielded bearings to make sure as much power gets to the ground as possible!
