ordered mine yesterday. called them before to make sure that was the price. $261.97 shipped.

HPI is releasing the Hellfire SS packaged with the standard K4.6 engine at roughly $550.0 , so the price of the full on kit presumably had to come down some. The current price is still extremely low, since a K4.6 doesn't cost $300.00. I would assume this is a tactic to move the product a bit more. A company like HPI can take a small dent in profits for a short time, but I doubt this price will stay around for too long.

Tower had to make a mistake!

so i order one but it's on back order, if they niotice it was a type-o will they still have to sell it for that price?

No typo, it's the real deal. On the other hand, if they did try to claim they made a mistake, I would hold them to it. For what is in that kit, the price is pretty much criminal.

What is the discount code?

Tower front page states that they cut the price in half!

WOW

Gentlemen
I have Hellfire kit version. Ran it with an OS .30, Axial .32 and now a Ninja .28. Clutch bell 17T with stock spur (52T)--- I am looking for more top end speed. My buddies' Jammin rtr truggy (stock) competes very well.
Suggestions please.

The 17t clutch bell may be the issue. Even though those are large engines, you can easily kill the bottom end with too tall gearing. Do you lack punch coming out of the corners, or is it loosing steam at higher rpm's?

LVRC - $262 shipped? It says $284 on the page the link points to and, that is w/o shipping and, tax? What am I missing? = http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXNKZ3&P=ML

price went up today, i checked first thing morning.

yesterday i got it shipped to my house for 249

AWE, COME ON! I got hosed! I'd have grabbed one for sure for 249 to the door. Guess i'll spend $ else where. Tower is bad for me anyway because i have to pay tax for living in the same state (making myself feel better). Are any other hobby shops out there getting on the price cut band wagon??

you can still get the kit for a good price with the on line discount.

and you cant go there and buy it from towerhobbies place?

and you cant go there and buy it from towerhobbies place?

no you only can buy it on-line.its a great deal anyway that you look at it. would you want to pay over $500 for it or $300 come on guys. i place a order for 2 kit. im going to start have people drive for me some this year(i bought another buggy too) and im going to drive my three class as normal.

having people driving for you?? why is that?

Even if i could drive there an get it (2.5 hours) i would have to pay 8% sales tax. You ppl not in IL don't pay any tax when you buy from another state.

I wish I could find a Big Dealer like Tower in another state that had that fist deal going where it was 249 to the door!

Its strange that you cant buy a product direct from the ware house of towerhobbies, they should have like a hobbyshop in there, it would be awesome

Will a starter box work with Hellfire SS kit?

i cant drive three truggys or 2 buggys. As of right now im racing a MT, Truggu, Buggy, and i want to get 1/10 truck.

Yes you can use a starter box on the ss. I use one

Thanks

wow you have a lot of rc´s... that cool, I am thinking of getting a hellfire SS but I only get negative comments from people here, how do you like yours? is competive against other truggys?

I been racing the hellfire and it's been very competitive, i'm very happy with it, i've been winning a lot of hits at my local track.

That one thing I hate about Tower's they charge me sales tax. Gonna use this for my steering Hitec HSR-5995TG (Great on my X SS) found one off ebay for $87.99 new.

In Nevada Tower has a warehouse that's why I have to pay tax.

the truggy is great. has great speed, brakes, handles wonderfull. great steering , and it floats in the air. overall its a great truggy to have.
