If you didn’t win last night [...]
New from HPI Racing is the RTR Vorza Flux with 2.4ghz radio. The Vorza Flux has a lot of us here already drooling. HPI is claiming speeds up to 73mph with the right gearing, and that’s nothing to laugh at. The Flux Blur ESC and Tork 2200 motor can handle 6S and that’s the sort of thing that makes us [...]
New from HPI Racing are two new 1/5th scale Baja 5SC bodies. They come pre-painted in red or black and will fit the Baja 5SC RTR, Kit, and SS Limited Edition. You know that body you have been running in starting to look beat up so maybe look into getting a pre-painted replacement. It looks like Tower Hobbies has a [...]
Welcome to yet another exciting week in our wonderful hobby of rc. 🙂 What was the big rc news last week you might ask? HPI announcing a new gas (not nitro) powered monster truck coming in 2012, that’s what. I guess the obtuse might have just blown right by that PR, but I saw it as the first sign [...]
Finally some real news of new product! HPI just sent over a teaser about a new 1/8th scale Truck (insert Savage something here) that looks like it’s going to run on gas and not nitro! This is pretty big news! Not only will it bring the cost of fuel way down, but hopefully they have figured out a way to [...]
In the ‘ask and you shall receive’ world, HPI has just announced the new Baja 5sc SS Limited Edition. The 1/5th scale Limited Edition is an unassembled kit for racers that are looking to really get their hands dirty and build it from the ground up. It has been created based on requests that HPI sell a version without a [...]

I blame Jeff for posting the first sneak peak pictures of the *UPDATED* HPI e-Firestorm Flux from RCX and sparking my need to get one. The Firestorm Flux shown at RCX wasn’t a completely new stadium truck, but it did have a ton of new features like waterproof electronics, an updated motor and ESC, 2.4GHz radio system, and two [...]
It’s been in sneak-peak photos, small demo videos, and my dreams almost every night. Now, it is finally here! HPI Racing has finally officially announed the Savage XS Flux!

It is a well known fact around the office that I’m fighting a serious craving to get into RC drifting. HPI Racing is making it nearly impossible for me to hold off much longer.
