i am sure it's size will help keep things cool when running hard!

just a bit smaller than the slash 4x4 , but i wonder if it will runn the same class?
that cold be the catch in calling it a mini?

The tamiya 4x4 ford and chevy based truck seems like it is mini...not sure of the dimensions though, but looks the best for a "true" 1/10

holy smokes .. these tamiya's are smaller for sure 250 mm wheel base
i'm sure the hpi will turn circles around the tamiya.
or would it be the tamiya turning in circles behind the hpi ? triing to keep up lol

Very interesting they choose to go with a 1/12th... Seems fun but wish it were 1/10th so there would be no question what class it fit in.

I'm feelin' it!

Titanium adjustable rear toe rods... Quad rear shocks... Really mild brushless to get like 30 minutes of run time and fun galore.

I want to see how it behaves on the track. Even if I can't race it, it would still be fun to beat up on the SC trucks with a smaller capable RC.

To me, this thing just looks so damn cool. Sure the electronics in it will likely not last or be worth using for long, but otherwise it looks like a really nice build.

Those aren't really good for racing. They don't have the suspension to handle jumps. I think I'm sold on the HPI and will be getting one when they're released.

philip screws are expected on an RTR. Lets just wait for the kit version, it surely will have hex all around, aluminum shocks, adjustable suspension links and a new body!

waiting, waiting, waiting.....

it's not solid axle. it's independent trailing arm. certainly unique for rc tho.
