It is a discontinued kit from HPI.

Here is a link from HPI's site:

So it came today, awesome car is all i have to say. I took the complete under tray/interior off because its impossible to find those so i made some skids in case i decide to drive it lol at this point, i'm nervous because of how rare it is. I bought it as a roller for $125 shipped, and i added my DTX Element BL system and some LED's.

Looks good! Are you going to run it?

I might once or twice but very very carefully because I did a search on every part # for this kit and they are very scarce. It may just be my shelf queen lol

Its a pretty durable car. I run mine a decent amount, not hard or in heavy off road conditions, but it doesnt sit on a shelf.

There are always parts for these on different forums and ebay, so they are our there. When you find some, pick them up.

Its a shame for such a cool car to sit on a shelf. Go run it!!

I ran it today but of course I bought a cheapo Camaro body because that impreza body is too nice to even risk, but overall it's a sweet ride, fast and like you said durable!!! We have shaved curbs around here and I did flip it once, no damage!!!! It's a shame is discontinued because its soo bad *****

Sounds good man! Post some pics. Is it all stock or does it have upgrades?

Also, if youd like another basher body, i enjoy painting bodies and would do one for you.

Let me know.

It's mostly stock, except for the alum steering kit and Brushless system.

That would be awesome!!! How much would you charge?
