Hpi Mini trophy truck 1st run
I went to the Hobby Town USA In Cheyenne Wyoming yesterday just to get some model glue and a spur gear for an Axial Tranny and well you know how impulse buys can go when a toy is sitting right in front of you ;) I have not gotten into the whole short course thing as none have come along that looked even remotely (pun intended) tempting but this HPI Baja truck with lots of scale details was right up my alley for a fun machine and I had to take it home. I am sure I will get the Toyota or Ford body for it later but for now I just want to leave it stock and have fun with it. I was nervous that the 15t motor would be way to fast for my liking but after driving it in an open area it feels about right for this vehicle, a little faster than I like to run but the speed is very scale regardless ;) It was very cold and windy today and I did both the driving and pictures so they are not great but I got a few good action pics before I put the camera away so I could just play with my new toy ;)

These are great Seth, I bought 4 of them at Christmas, 1 for me and 1 each for my boys, lots of fun. I have ordered the Ivan Stewart body also

Some great pics Seth. The truck looks good, this class has really caught fire. I am hopeing Tamiya has one in the works.

That looks like it moves quick ! Not bad for out of the box 'scale' either .

Watch out for the servo saver mod and the double rear shock setup. It makes the car handle way better.

Great pics! Just showing how realistic these trucks behave during racing! I am sure that with your skill and talent, some great ideas will sublime on how to best modify this car! Cheers,
