yep i believe they are going too .... i haven't got to race my truggy for a good 5 months, there just isn't any body runnin' em around my area any more .. buggy is a hot class tho .. if ya decide to look at a E Buggy check out the durango dnx 408 the E version is supposed to be out in a month and they have killer part support, plus parts are cheap too !!

That looks like a MT2 chassis and is 1/10 not 1/8 scale , been around for quite some time now ......... Still this probably means the HPI 4x4 SCT will be coming along soon .

Trophy Truggy Flux
The Trophy Truggy Flux takes two of our most popular and exciting offerings and smashes them together to make a fantastic new kit that will be amazing racers and bashers all over the world! The Trophy Buggy Flux will be powered by a super-powerful bruchless motor and 2 2S LiPo batteries for awesome speeds and crazy stunts! The Trophy Truggy Flux is fitted with a steel spur gear, aluminium motor mount and the already extra-tough Trophy drivetrain and suspension, so you know it's strong enough for anything you can think of! With a 2.4GHz radio system installed it's even more convenient for wild speed runs straight out of the box!


    [*]Brushless Version of the HPI Trophy Nitro Truggy[*]Extremely popular and tough aluminium chassis[*]2.4GHz radio system[*]4S 1/8th brushless FLUX system[*]New Aluminium motor mount[*]Steel Spur gear[*]Trophy drive train and suspension[*]Vorza radio tray and battery holders (2x 2S Lipo packs)[/list]

There is a rtr with 2.4 radio and a pro kit.
