I want peoples opinions on how good an hpi Hellfire is for bashing. I'm not looking for a racer just something to beat up. I know there are better trucks out there but I can get one for a good price.
Any insight is helpful, Thanks

Depends on the price and if it is a RTR or a SS model.

I have a SS that I bash regularly with the K4.6 engine and its great. i know its discontinued now so check ebay for parts or integy.com for aluminum parts.

Okay thanks. I know the 5.9 doesnt tune well but imo it gets the job done. I'll be getting it this weekend

i wouldnt run one in anything even if i got it free.

MT_MASTER

Is tuning the only issue with it or are there more problems with it?

BMac223

I never had big issues with my SS. If you really want something just to bash with your friends, go with a Savage or even if you have the money go with a HPI Baja.

MT_MASTER

I would go with a savage but I can't afford it right now, which definitely puts a baja even farther down the list
But if you said you never had an issue with it it should be good.
