I'm holding off my purchase for the HPI Bullet
I really like these kind of stadium trucks. It's 4WD and available both in nitro and electric!! also in the form of a stadium truck and monster truck!

That looks cool. I'm really glad that 1:10 4x4 is becoming readily available.[8D]
I LOVE the electric that comes with an aluminum chassy. Great idea.

Where is this going to fit in their line-up?
Will it replace the Savage Flux or the E-Savage? Or somehow go in between?
I'm thinking since it is nitro, it is probably a full 1/8 scale. Looks like a simpler (but less ridgid) chassis than the Savage Flux. There doesn't seem to be much to stiffen it in the up/down direction.

RE: I'm holding off my purchase for the HPI Bullet
I feel like it will replace the MT2. It wont compare with the e-savage for hardcore stuff, but its very similar to the mt2 design and driveline wise.
It will be 1/10 scale. That little G3.0(.18ci) engine wont hardly handle an 1/8 scale platform. Also, as for the chassis braces. It should be fine. It has the same setup as most 1/8 buggies and they are tough as nails.

RE: I'm holding off my purchase for the HPI Bullet
its not going to replace anything its HPI bringing back an old HB design, the lightening st sport and putting their flux system in it, that being said it should be a very solid and fast truck, and it is solidly 1/10, not an 1/8 by any means just based of designs 1/8's use

RE: I'm holding off my purchase for the HPI Bullet
the 8 shocks are for the bling OMG IT HA 8 SHOCKS factor IMO
If I was to get one I'd take 4 off and save them as spares
I kinda find it funny the nitro one had its airfilter downgraded from the MT2's stock one
only thing I do like about the bullet though is the tires on the ST version kinda look like the mashers I love to use

its 1/10th scale.
And I doubt the Brushless one is going to replace anything its just trying to fill the gaping void in 1/10th 4wd scale stadium trucks. The Nitro edition is probably going to replace the MT2 though seeing they are the same size, same engine, similar drive chain, and same class.

I dont know much, but from what I can see, It looks like I may already have one of this, I call it a T-maxx, although the electric looks interesting

The Brushless one looks a fair bit different and nicely made
