[hynena37]

so does anyone own one of theese, i got a slash, with the stock motor, i meed to kno if itll keep up. every time they make a vid with slashes in it they baby the slashes to make this look fast it seems like

[blitzdriverFTW]

how fast in mph is it



[Garf2O]

@blitzdriverFTW  17 mph

[chukfarly]

btw this is the best video shot of this truck tho

[dzzyfish]

how fast is it

[MrDude9804]

Who is better Hpi Mini Trophy or Hpi Blitz ?

[Ronh83]

is this stock? great vid by the way! ;)

[brycea0225]

Come on I won't to see this but YouTube won't let me b/c I have an iPad

[indy34096]

@goodcheesema no they need to make a blitz 4x4! that would be so much better than this.

[MegaModelMan]

where was this video filmed?

[rcBitz]

WOW a first class video, amazing. Thanks for posting.

[ed2611]

excellent video !!

[Jeltiy]

nice video + ac/dc soundtrack = great work! Thx for uploading.

Have got real pleasure watching this.

[goodcheesema]

@quietfamily i dont think anyone makes 4 stroke car motors at all. It would need to be an MGT 8.0 style air motor conversion. I would be fine with a 2 stroke nitro version.

[jjjjapse]

mother fuck

[chukfarly]

very cool video hpi should ve used this one for sure for their promotions!! I can watch it over and over .You made it look faster than it is ,but I did notice it needs better shocks or springs in back it sags alot & bounces around in back too. May wanna change shock oil too to at least 40w . Wonder what it could do with a 10 turn motor ,hmmmm

[chukfarly]

@chukfarly oh ya the do :)

[chukfarly]

@chukfarly oh ya the do :) btw I m just old school I m sure a brushless option will be soon to follow!!

[Del350K4]

What a superb video! Magnificent camera work, imaginative and accurate, combined with great editing and a first-rate subject. If I weren´t determined to wait for the Flux version this video would have me banging on my model shop´s door!

[goodcheesema]

hpi needs to make a flux version.

[quietfamily]

@goodcheesema Flux would be cool but I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A FOUR STROKE NITRO VERSION. Im sure it will never happen.

[motabikeboy]

those side shots are seriously awesome. i love watching these little things bounce and absorb like the real things. really adds to the scale

[qwest1000]

Great action photography in a realistic desert couse. Very detailed truck - I want one!

[SLASHINANDBASHIN]

i hate thisn truck i bought it and im bitterly disapointed with it there is scale and then there is just slow and dont get me started on the screws it took it to my hobby shop and they tried to get the out and they just rounded off using the size screwdriver hpi tells you to use

[mychanneldonttouch]

@SLASHINANDBASHIN wow bro ur crying over one screw u should have known better to use a smaller screw driver...and if ur complaining about the slowness maybee try not being affraid to spend some money and get a lipo and brushless system

[SLASHINANDBASHIN]

@mychanneldonttouch i use a 50c 5900 lipo in it and the screw that stripped was the motor mount screw so i cant get the old motor out to install brushless

[quietfamily]

I'm thinking HPI and ac/dc owe you at least one cold beer each.

[RaGinGHoI3o]

does anyone know where i can buy a truck in canada?

[5kcsqt]

sweet vid.

[BUGGER9946]

I mostly dig nitro, but that is one sweet little machine. VERY real looking

handling, & awesome video. Enjoyed watching, & great tuneage.

[WiryOak]

@BUGGER9946 i h8 nitro, no offence. TO MUCH WORK. im like, lazy XD i haveto deal with working on dirtbikes, and i dont want to deal with nitro xD

[jmloudon97]

how much are these ready to run, and are they brushless

[feieklaas]

dos anywhone no when the realese is ?

sorry for my bad english

[Tinytacohead]

@feieklaas

It's already been released in the USA.. go order one from somewhere that ships internationally. (I'm guessing Tower will, among others)

[MrLukestowell23]

can you guys tell me the widest part on the car and longest length please and thankyou...... plz measure it yourself because the site seems off

[MrLukestowell23]

can you guys tell me the widest part on the car and longest length please and thankyou

[xxBLKChEvY07xx]

what u think in compared to the slash 4x4? cuz this one grabs my attention...and do u see any things that will be a have to, to upgrade out of the box??

[tinysam747]

what can it get to (in mph)

[shadowx7og]

what good website sells these? i cant find anything...

[deputybrad]

Is the truck all stock? Does anyone make any aftermarket stuff for these yet? I know the Slash has tons. Mostly interested in bodies and wheels haha, never gonna race just a play toy for me to bash around just wanna make it look cool. Also is it possible to raise the ride height much on these? They seem a little low?

[DRUMWIZ101]

awsome



[JayMillz517]

Great vid..

[steemy2]

Looks real, until a 70 foot tall weed goes by! :)

[1p90luvr]

@steemy2 LMAO!

[alteredstateskustom]

awesome editing dude! very cool truck

[mollis123456]

I have all ways been a traxxas man, but im SOOOO getting this baby:D

Btw. awsome video

[santclause1]

@mollis123456. me too. gonna take VXL out my rustler and give it speed to match it,s awsome looks.

[n8peterson]

Great video and good variety of terrain! Thanks for showing what the Mini Trophy is capable of! I linked your video on the front page of the Ground Pounders R/C forum.

[99oldsintrigue]

the stock speed just sets of the realism even more

[ghostdrive666]

Hi there,

awsome vid, check mine out - similar to you....tell me what you think: HPI BAJA 5t - Desert Bashing - UAE

[towmachinemak12]

which part of temecula im from there id like to take my buggy there

[recce01]

thank you!

[foshizzelman]

@recce01 how did you get those side shots to be so freakin amazing

[208BrAnDo]

Great driving, Great editing, Great video!!

[selfles133]

man thats a sweet video, good job! it looks so real... i love how it rips threw that deep sand! how fast is it?

[VideosForFun1000]

The slash is like CORR and the HPI mini desert truck is like the trucks in the Baja 1000

[akura2]

You can see the rear end pop up at 1:57 due to the shocks not having enough stroke and bottoming... If the rear was higher it would have soaked up the bumps even better.... I LOVE it... Can't believe it isn't brushless... That thing scoots!

[akura2]

That looks hot.... I agree with some that the static sag in the rear of the truck looks really low (even compared to the pics of the real one)... But the shocks are threaded adjustables so you can raise the rear ride height with a couple of twists... Soaks up the bumps REALLY nicely... Raise the rear some and that truck will look even hotter..

[Atgti]

If you see the sizes, its bigger then the avarage 1/10 on-road and off-road cars.

Soo I think it's more scale for example than the Blitz.

[mambabear]

@Atgti yea i was wondering why it said 1/12th scale and i decided that tt are bigger than short course cause i got the measurments and it said 21 inches long and i was like its a inch longer than my freinds slash 4x4 at 20 inches

[mariabufas]

Look Too Small :-(

[logitechz3]

@mariabufas umm, its just a little bit smaller than the blitz

[keeton520]

look badass

[Ghostrider8686]

Wow, truck looks good!

[Fuller991]

is it brushless

[hondatmx]

@Fuller991 nope. but u can swap to brushless vxl lol.

[wun1gee]

Bad. Ass.

Thank you for doing something different. The Slash was cool because it was different. Everything else that came after it was more of the same. This is different again. And it's awesome.

And Tower's got it listed for $239.99..Affordable, too.

[polar600prox2]

whats the song? and i really like this truck

[SINDIDificaion]

shoot to thrill AC DC

[hasek1616]

i hate to be the first one to point this out, but theres definitely an easy fix and it may not ven be a problem, but the back end looks way to low for offroad terrain, the rear suspension looks maxed out for the entire run, but maybe its supposed to be like that?

[GVVJG]

@hasek1616 its supposed to be like the real trucks but i guess it needs a little heavier shock oil because it does look very soft.

[teamchaseonline]

SAWEEEEET, nice little truck, i love the scale looks.

[fudgemonkey58]

I,ll take ten

[kj1productions]

this truck is amazing, looks like it handles good, im going to get one for sure

[SelectRCdotcom]

I need one!

[craftwerksrc]

SICK!!!! That is one badd ass lil truck.....

[hpischultz]

Wow that is Awesome!!! I found my new desert truck!! Can't wait to tear this up camping!!!

[silver04rs]

wow, this thing looks awesome!!!!! Put me down for 2... LOL

[GCRad1]

HOT SNAPS! Love how in some area's it looks like it is filmed from a chase helicopter!
