Ever wondered what it would be like to be able to go from land to water without any problems? Well I have the answer, an amphibious HPI wheely king!

It’s a class of cars that race in [...]

I know lots of people have been clamoring since there are kits that already let you convert your 5B to a brushless, they would of rather seen a 4×4 5th scale, but having it come direct from the factory brushless is a nice feature.
