Default HPI Hellfire?

What is this thing? One website said its not a buggy but its 1/8. Its not a monster truck its to small and its not a stadium truck because its too big. So what is it?

But on www.hpiracing.com it was called a 1/8 scale 4wd Monster truck similar to the Savage25.

Doesn't look like a savage to me. I'm going to stick with....

a 1/8 scale stadium truck....or Truggy.

The hellfire is bascially a purpose built truggy. Nothing else to it.

When a monster truck and a stadium truck love each other very much, they sometimes mate. This is the result of such mating.

So a truggy is basically a buggy with really big tires and more suspension? If thats the case than I think I'll be seeing a lot more truggies than buggies because they have the speed and durability of a buggy and bashing suspension of a truck.

that basically sums it up... i guess the stadium was more dominant..

Yeah a truggy is just a buggy with big tires and some other small changes. The hellfire is a little small compaired to the pro truggies which tend to be huge. The wheel base is about an inch longer and wider then an 1/8 buggy on the pro truggies like the jamminX1.
