Default Sell Losi MF2 for HPI E Firestorm??

Ok guys, i am really liking this new stadium truck the HPI E firestorm. my only gripe is i have the LOSI MF2. the losi is no joke, we all know its a great truck great racer and truck. I dont want to buy another truck, and at the same time i dont race the losi either i bash it mostly. the HPI is a durable truck and it has a all metal tranny perfect for brushless and the battery compartment can accept all types of batteries from 6 to 7 cell SXS pacls to LIPO and its adjustable and said it can be raced also, another feature it has is it has a hex adapter so i can run beadlocka all around and not worry about boiling tires just take them off and put new ones on... IM torn cuz i have this truck that is basically new i just finished building it a few months ago, no scratches on it what so ever. and i have a nice body on it and some extra parts and upgraded alot of stuff with lunford, TIR and RPM, and team blue star titanium shocks... i got some money in this truck, so i am torn, sell this truck as a roller for a certain amount and pick up the HPI or keep the losi... what would you guys do.

i might do that...but then again i also have a XXX-T "CR" so....but i would just keep the MF2. dont have to buy every new thing but if they make a sport version sans radio rear i will prolly buy one to bash around. i would wait if you are going to to get others opinions on it.

see that is what i was thinking, that it will be a downgrade. thanks guys for your opinions, i will stay will the MF2, if anything i will swap out the graphite with the XXXT-CR's AE3 material which is stronger and has flex. Mods you can close this thread.

I wouldn't say it's a downgrade. They are both purpose built with different intentions.

There is supposed to be a new EA3 material. I did break one on my BK1 a few weeks ago though, I landed sideways after hitting a board in the air. I replaced it with graphite and never broke one since. (knock on wood)

Its out now, been for a while. At least it was on the Type-R. Losi should mold some plastic parts.
