Found this on the net.....................





Here is the Info in English..................

Brand new and ready for some serious off-road
action, the totally fresh Brama 10B is the first electric
4WD buggy from HPI! It’s made to be tough, ready for
anything and easy to repair. It also looks great and
can go just about anywhere!
Based on the always-tough E10 chassis, the Brama
10B has full-time 4WD for maximum traction, longer
arms and bigger shocks for top handling, plus a sweet
racing buggy bodyshell and massive rear wing for
cool custom looks and race-style handling!
With a sealed shaft drivetrain and pinion/spur combo,
you won’t have to deal with rocks or anything else
getting stuck and slowing you down, ever! You can keep
the hammer down and power out of any trouble you
might get yourself into. The spiked tyres and coil-over
shocks front and rear will just keep going and going,
biting and clawing through dirt, grass or mud!
Completely pre-built and painted, the Brama 10B is
already fitted with reliable HPI radio gear, servo,
electronic speed control and a powerful motor to get
you up to speed in a hurry. Just pop some AA’s in the
transmitter and you’ll be getting airborne and dirty in
no time!
The Brama 10B is the easiest and friendliest way
to get off-road, plus it’s super-tough and nearly
indestructible, making it the perfect choice for anyone
who just wants to get dirty - fast!

hmm...looks like it has some Tamiya designs and it kinda is kinda cheap I bet. I would of thought they would release a 2wd buggy before a 4wd buggy. I bet this wont be over $200.

I'm guessing that it's going to be pretty durable judging by the thickness of that arms and towers. I'm really interested in this.

Definitely try to save and get an 8ight, excellent buggy and worth every penny.

The Hedgehog

Comparing an 8th scale to a 10th scale buggy really is apples to oranges. You can go a step further and recommend the baja 5b.

Here's hoping its durable and can handle brushless with 2.2's.

Agreed. Pretty soon traxxas is going to hop onto the 4wd band wagon...maybe? They've already got the 2wd bandit...

Anywho, hpi makes durable stuff. Looks like it'll be durable like the e-firestorm? Maybe not? I mean the e firestorm had the nitro version to progress from. We'll see. First we gota get it in english!

The ad says its based of the [link=http://www.hpiracing.com/kitinfo/10702/]E10[/link] chassis. Its looks like its basically an off road version. I wouldn't expect too much but we can hope for the best. I can read just enough German (actually, its just close to Dutch) to kind of understand the ad but not enough to really translate.

For_The_Win

I agree. It dose look cheap.

it should be durable, my rs4 mt handles all kinds of grief I throw at it no problem

sloppyG

i also agree, this looks pretty "budget friendly"

not a high end RC by any means

sheograth

Well if its based of the E10 then yeah we can't expect much

Oh well []

I think HPI was either in a) rush to finish this design or b) drunk in the process of designing it. It looks terrible...

sheograth

Yeah I'm not sure why HPI felt the need to throw out a 1/10 Electric Buggy so fast, they could have taken their time and made something really impressive to compete with the XXX-4 or something. Oh well.

deanR

i think they are making a mini one too

Chris_RC

Looks they the guys spend all their on drinks and wanted to make some quick money!!! Guess they couldnt wait a day to actually find out how bad it looked!!! I mean 3 releases in 1 day. that is sad, even for Losi.

The Hedgehog

Yep they have a 18th scale version too. That is the one I am more interested in.

Krawlin

To be honest, I don't think they really needed to design some hard core perfect racing buggy. That's what their Hot Bodies division primarily does. They already have a 4wd electric buggy, very nice and meant for racing, so it doesn't seem like HPI would really need to make a hardcore racing machine. They appeal more towards the bashing crowd.

mog ruith

reminds me of my df02 but the shock tower seems more durable
well i think this is more for the basher whom dont want to spend much
dont know if this thing handles brushless though

sheograth

You do have a point, I did forget that Hotbodies had some offerings in this area as well.

Lilredmachine

That's what I was going to say. It's for this exact reason that the E-zilla was removed from the Hotbodies range and put under the HPI name as the E-savage, it's emphasis on fun didn't match the hardcore race ethos of Hotbodies. For HPI to create anything truly hardcore race orientated would be stepping on the toes of it's race division. So they've done a Tamiya, take your pants grade on road chassis, throw some long arms on it and go offroad for cheap. It'll sell, and won't take customers away from Hotbodies.

i find it funny that hotbodies is making a budget version of the D4...it looks better than this one. this one dosent look too bad....just the body and wing, they are horrible!
