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:
“Silence is to all creatures thus attacked the only means of salvation; it fatigues the Cossack charges of the envious, the enemy’s savage ruses; it results in a cruising and complete victory.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
