Hpi USA says they redesigned the Hellfire but it looks nothing like this truggy http://www.hpiracing.com/kitinfo/10500/

It does look similar to the Hot Bodies Lightening Stadium Pro.

That looks like a great truggy to bash with. Wonder how it would stand up to racing

Khraih

When will it be availible for Canada and US?

Gotta love HPI for their durability. I am sure this will be a fun truggy. Now if I only had the cash [&o]

This has been covered in other forums before. I think it comes down to a re-badged HB truggy. I haven't seen them up close so this may be wrong. But they do look strikingly similar.

Looks the same to me.

I like this a lot on first glance. Have to see how much it'll cost compared to the 8ight T RTR.

Checkpointracer

I agree that it looks just like the lightening stadium, just with different colors. Looks cool nonetheless.

Doesn't HPI own Hot Bodies? Would it be a bad thing if it was a lightening stadium?

evader8

yea they are probley bringing in the part support from hb bring bringing out a certain truggy. it is sharp looking.

My Feedback: (4)

Does anyone know when/if it'll be coming to US? I notice that it's from the HPI Europe website. I'd love to find a tough, reliable truggy that I can bash and race (just for fun not in competition)

jikkuria

get an st-1 then, awesome truggy for the money.

These are pics of my HB Lightning Stadium when it was new.Great truck.I had to get a better engine though.

How much $$ is this thing ?

calvino

They do, I dont see it being "bad." It is just a cheap(er) version if you look at the images. They traded the CF for aluminium to keep the car more "basher friendly." Looks nice if you asked me... [8D]

supertib

The lightning stadium wasn't the most durable unit.... unless HPI is selling them really cheap i don't see any logic in buying one, especially when there are soo many other much better truggies on the market...

Is this thing even race legal?

SyCo_VeNoM

Does it matter us people on the American continent aren't getting it (unless you import it)

BTW old thread

djyjrlz

i have seen one of these at the local track and although it was race legal it was nowhere near competative. it may have been setup or tune but it was suprisingly slow. it has been in the UK for like 1 1/2 years and is no longer  stock competion for the losi's or associated's, but maybe with hefty modification it could be done.

Jpikus

oh I was just wondering, yeah I know it's an old thread but I couldn't find info anywhere else haha. But yeah i'm just really looking to get into racing. I want to race 3 different classes. I would like to race 1/8th scale nitro on-road, nitro truggy and 1/8th scale nitro buggy. I'm trying to find a really good truggy that looks great and is a great racer, I was going to have the HPI Trophy Truggy imported but I guess not now?

SyCo_VeNoM

I'd get a jammin X2 personally. I got a jammin X1 CRT, I find it pretty good, and hear the X2 blows it away from people durability & performance wise.
Might want to ask in the truggy forum though http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/forumid_399/tt.htm

Importing IMO would be a pain seeing you would have to import parts, wait generally over a week for shipping, and pay sometimes astronomical shipping fee's
Example I had to order a part for my one RC from canada. The part was $19 I had to pay $15 shipping...(seriously that was last week)
