Do not buy HPI, it should be their catchphrase! I purchased an HPI Trophy 4.6 over a year ago and I still cannot use it. It constantly fails to run or even pull away without stalling (I've run it in by the book), cheap quality parts and poor build quality from this company. I also have a 10 year old HPI nitro car and never had any issues from day one. Its no wonder they had so many owners with such poor products.

Not happy with my experience Bought a ready to run electric model and straight out of the box the charger was faulty. No good when I've bought extra battery packs too! Emailed customer services and they asked me to make a warranty claim with the retailer. Fair enough that seems like a way to solve it but on the basis this was a gift it caused some upset on the day. Not sure what quality control is in place and I was disappointed with it on this occasion so will avoid this brand based on my experience. Maybe others have had better.

Hpi quality isn’t what it use to be I’ve been racing nitro rc for more than 20 years now. I’m on my third savage 1/8 truck. The first two were absolutely rock solid but can’t say the same for my latest purchase. Steering servo was severely underpowered for the tire size and needed to be upgraded to a savox....Add another $80 straight out of the box. Got about 10 hours of run time then the roto start failed. Spoke with an authorized dealer and was told Hpi isn’t the same quality they use to be and they aren’t charging less for their products. Too bad management is going towards cheap parts for greater profits.

3 cars all virtually brand-new all… 3 cars all virtually brand-new all broken and not from smashing and bashing just from running it down the road and having every f****** screw that could possibly fall out fall out thanks hpi and it's not just one car it's all three of them I will never buy another HPI product there's too many good companies out there and this isn't one of them!!! Junk

Hpi Racing baja Great product the hpi 5b, 5t, 5sc, 5r and kraken sx5/tskb baja, the best large scale in my honest opinion.
