My son has a hellfire, its a fast truck and it handles good. I cant keep up with my stock revo 3.3 on open ground but as soon as we start bashing his truck breaks and he has to use my tmaxx as back up. The front suspension on the hellfire sucks. The [link=http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_44_50/products_id/7410]Muggy[/link] would be a much better choice and its $ 120 cheaper. It says $549.99 but when you add it to your cart it drops to $439.99. The muggy has the same type suspension as the lst2 and aftershock and they are tough as nails.

I just purchased my Hellfire about a month ago, and absolutly love the performance. I do recomend you upgrade your cluth bell to a 16t for extra top end speed though. With the old set up 13t 52 spur gear it's a rocket but lacks top end speed. I race my friends Savage all the time, and we are neck and neck after I did the upgrade. I haven't had much problems yet. It is a show stopper cause people do not know about them.
