HPI Savage is a line of 1/8 scale radio controlled monster trucks manufactured in Japan by Hobby Products International of Foothill Ranch, California USA.
The overall setup of the Savage, with its massive tires and tall suspension, make it a poor choice for racing in stock form, but does enable the model to be able to withstand tremendous abuse. Racing Savages are not common, but HPI and other companies offer parts to make a Savage competent against other monster trucks. The Savage is also used for "bashing". e.g. Jumps, flips, etc.
Several hobbyists have had success using the Savage for high speed. The current RC monster truck world speed record is held by a Savage, at 62 MPH.

Famous quotes containing the word savage:
“The great fact was the land itself, which seemed to overwhelm the little beginnings of human society that struggled in its sombre wastes. It was from facing this vast hardness that the boy’s mouth had become so bitter; because he felt that men were too weak to make any mark here, that the land wanted to be let alone, to preserve its own fierce strength, its peculiar, savage kind of beauty, its uninterrupted mournfulness.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
