RE: Problems with HPI Trophy Truggy Flux
Man that sucks...I was actually looking at the getting the Trophy as my first 8th scale electric. Could be you just got a bad model from the line or something. But that's a rarity in itself from HPI. I have an E-Firestrom Flux that I love to death. Had it for a few years now and I've never had an issue such as this one you're describing.
If you decide to sell it, I could possibly be in the market for one.
