RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

Anyone know what the main differences are between the Hellfire and Lightning stadium?
Both look pretty similiar to me, I own the Lightning Stadium RR and love the truggy. Its a beast and I get to show up Revos/ Tmaxxes all the time :D

Was just wondering if there were any major differences between the two trucks

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

Does anyone have an idea of time on the kit version and a price?

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

we still trying to find out the release date on the rtr, i'm sure whatever date you find for the kit won't be very accurated.

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

Someone from HPI posted on another forum that they haven't finalized the specs for the kit yet so it could be a while. I heard that horizon hobby got their shipment of hellfires on wed so should start showing up in shops by fri or early next week.

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

thats good to hear, my hoby shop is gettin a few in cant wait to see one...

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

they have it a t hobby people for 539

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

$539 thats crazy low are you sure? I just went to their website and it said $619. Do you have a web address?

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

I have been trying to research the hellfire, anyone have more than the basics? I am getting back into truck racing and I want the best. It has been sometime, so I do not know which truck rules the tracks. I am looking at either monster or stadium, is the hellfire considerd monster? I want the best money can buy, I take my hobby serious. Any help is appreciated. Thanks...

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

i have heard (dont quote me on this) that the hellfire is shorter in length...and in width...(which would be a downfall)

i think your truggy is great as well...the RR needs improvement if you are gonna race the thing, but nothing extreme. the LSP is i think the best bang for your buck...but you can easily transform your RR to a pro version..or even better...

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

you can race your truggy in the monster truck unlimited class...

Got my Hellfire Saturday

It flies

Too much bottom end

Handles awesome

Needs 16T clutch bell

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

o come on thats all you have to say.[:@] come lets have it we need more.:D

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

Ok ok, playing online poker at sametime, I only drove it for 3 laps. The bottom end hits hard I drove it into the fence. Toasted the sterring servo. I would upgrade that before you even drive it. Also get a 16T clutch bell, unless you don't need any top speed. Stock probably only getting 30mph. It will go fast.

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

you got any pics?????

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

I've seen one tonight at a LHS...was $600...he had 2 in stock

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

No pics yet. This weekend if its nice

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

Did you take any other significant dmg by running into the fence?

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

No other damage.

I think it will be Savage tough. I also nosed into a jump face and landed it on its back. No damage. It is hard to jump with stock 13T clutch bell. You need to keep a bit of throttle on when jumping.

Also make sure you loctite the wheel nuts. Tighten all screws and check the air filter. Mine wasn't secured to the carb correctly.

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

the hellfire is a bad ***** truggy. this thing mobs it up like no other. wait till u guys see the power this things got. also i can not even beleive how good it turns. it is the best steering rc car i have driven. it takes corners like a rc street car. but one thing the pull start sucks broke it on the third tank but i already replaced it with a savage roto start which works so good. another word of advice if u guys want to save some money get the savage roto start kit but dont buy the actual roto start hand held and just use a battery power drill like a makita it works better with longer life and u save like $40.

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

so you like it.

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

what is estimated top end speed for hellfire?

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

I really want to see this monster in action?Can anyone make a video and post it or know where i can find a video on the website. I am really interested in the hellfire just waiting to hear more reveiws about it. And also waiting to get some more money on the side to purchase one. Thanks everyone

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

It rocks. Will get some video a.s.a.p. Weather is bad here now. I haven't heard of the top speed. I am going to try a 16T clutch bell. It does turn awesome.

RE: Official HPI Hellfire Thread
 

Well it looks like I'll be getting one in a few weeks. Just gotta wait for Uncle Sam to send me my $2,100 check.http://www.simnet.is/agirs/PS_Smilies/PS_woohoo.gifhttp://www.simnet.is/agirs/PS_Smilies/PS_woohoo.gifhttp://www.simnet.is/agirs/PS_Smilies/PS_woohoo.gif
