HPI 1/12th Trophy Truck

Interesting for them to do a 1/12 instead of 1/10. I like the SC8-style rollcage and it looks like it has a more realistic swing-arm suspension (although it is still independent, not solid axle.)

Hmmm... that's weird it was working fine when I made the thread, but didn't last long? It had tons of pictures.

You just missed the l on html.

Looks super dope !

Did any of you catch that rear suspension?

Simliar to 1.1 Trophy trucks, I like it.

Ahhh! Plastic! :lol:

It looks like a "toy" with all the black plastic everywhere. That would have to change before I bought one.

Is someone having "man" isues?????:lol:
Isn't that what all of these are....just toys...

Haha you know what I meant... :rofl:

actaully looks farily tough with the short beefy arms that are all sweeping rearward..... slighty toyish but i think itd be a neat truck to have and run.

Can a CC MMP fit in one of these?Have any of you guys bought one of these yet?TH has these available with coupon less then 200 bucks

I just got the RC Driver mag with a article on this truck, very interesting little feller.

You talking about the 36mm can ?

I'd opt for the MicroPro with the 26mm can instead. It "might" be the perfect combo for that truck without knowing what it weighs ???
A 540 can would be ideally better if It'll fit ?

Well a Neu/CC 36mm 1400 series SC motor with a MMP of course

Do you think the Micro Pro and 26mm would be enough? (not disagreeing with you, just honestly not sure)

How close in size is this thing compared to the 1/12 CRT .5 or Hyper Mini ST? Seems like those are usually set up with 1/10 electronics, so I figured this HPI truck would be suited for that too, unless it's that much smaller?

I was looking closer at the article earlier and even though it doesn't say, the picture of the motor looks like HPI stock motor which is a Saturn 27T mill and If it is then it's definitely a 540 size. Then a BL 36mm will def work and be the better route !

Jason,
I've completely rebuilt your SC18 with a BL combo and repaired the radio,if your curious send email addy via PM and I'll send you some pics.

there is a guy running a cc4600 with his geared for about 35mph on 2s at the LHS and the motor gets a little too hot (100f ambient doesn't help) so i think anything less than a 540 motor would just not cut it.

Well HPI shows the HPI version/Sidewinder ESC/Motor combo as a Option

Id like to know if the body could be modded to fit over a crt .5 =P

no the crt.5 is to wide and short
