Default What do you think of the new HPI HellFire?

I've been looking at it for a while at www.hpiracing.com and it looks like a great truck but for what i like to do with my truck i think im better off with the savage.
What do you guys think?

i already have a savage and planned to have a revo till i see this hellfire. i think i'll lean to the hellfire side as it's a super racer.
good, a basher king savage and a pure racer hellfire, i don't see any necessity to bring home a revo.

I was seriously going to get one (and still may) until I got my GS SUT. It's an 1/8th scale truggy also.

It just a contender for the lightening, i wreckon all of the companies are going to bring out these trucks now and ruin monster truck racing for a while until they get banned and put in their own league

yes, because even now as soon as someone takes a lightening stadium to a race event for monster trucks you know the results before you race, and there not mostertrucks! there just 1/8th stadium trucks!

I have to agree with spareanychange the hellfire has the exact same stance n look at the mt2 exept its a 1/8 so it should just be called a 1/8 stadium truck...

Is the Hellfire RTR or a kit? They do look pretty sweet, if I did decide to get one I would wait til the price drops a bit.

It will probably be a kit at first untill the competition catches up then they will make a rtr version just to sell them faster.

The Hellfire will first be sold as RTR actually, it says on the website somewhere, and the focus is on adjustability and that kind of thing for racing for sure

same here. I really don't want to have to pay for the crummy electronics, and the engine, when I've got my own that I can use in it. I also hope the kit is in the 300-400 range, because that's much more reasonable than the Jammin' Truggy.
