Thanks Before Christmas I sent you guys an e-mail asking for some advice on getting a new truck. I was really pleased to see my question appear on your site with a suggestion of what would be best to get. I followed the advice and today went with my son for our first ‘drive’ of a HPI Bullet ST Flux. It’s fantastic. [...]
Oh yes it is, yet another salacious edition of your favorite weekly BS session- THE Cub Report. And yes, it’s Supercross time again, prepare to suffer through months of my relentless ramblings on the most uber of off road series- AMA/Feld Supercross. January 1st rings in the new year. Then Red Bull pulls off something crazy out west. Then the [...]
HPI Racing posted a couple photos of what may be a new car and chassis on their Facebook page earlier today. No info was provided other than the LMP designation and a question that asked “Electric or Nitro?” LMP, for those that don’t know, is a common abbreviation for Le Mans Prototype. It’s a class of cars that race in [...]
HPI Racing just posted a video of some of their testing of the HPI 5B Flux. 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.
Actually Flite Test is also sponsored by Horizon Hobbies and I have seen them point out problems with many of the Hobbyking products they review. Also some of the products they review are pre-production units which they review and make suggestions to improve the production units. Ken C. Cubby– Yo thanks for the info Ken, duly noted.Hi, I’m looking to get an electric [...]
Well, at least the official name just roll’s off the tongue for when you are asking for one at the local hobby shop! After posting the teaser pic then minutes later posting the details (sorry HPI, our bad). The official press release is out! The new HPI Racing vehicle is the HPI RTR WR8 3.0 Ford Fiesta Abu Dhabi Castrol [...]

Looks like HPI has a Rally Car coming in the near future! We just got a glimpse of a teaser picture… We don’t really have any details, guessing 1/10th? Would be great if we could get a Tanner Foust to compete with all the Ken Block stuff! 😉Comments on.. what do you guys think? The official HPI Racing site does not have [...]
Nǐ hǎo rc fans, welcome to yet another funtabulous edition of THE Cub Report. Before we get started on our annual “what the staff wants for Christmas” edition of THE Cub Report, we need to give you guys a H U G E thank you! Last week was once again a record breaker for traffic on our site. [...]
Looks like HPI have been busy! Keep your work area tidy with a cool little parts tray with a nice moulded HPI Racing logo, available as this small size (15cmx10cm) for parts, and a large size (75cmx50cm) for working on your cars. Put that parts tray to good use and get rid of those E-clips on your Savage XS with these new e-clip [...]
For me, the HPI Savage XS Flux has been the most anticipated new release of 2011. If you’ve read anything I’ve written this year, the XS Flux has almost always been a topic, if even for just a moment. I have been a bigger hype machine for this truck than Rex Ryan has been for his New York [...]
Cubby what is the best body for my HPI Blitz? Tommy C. Cubby– The best body for your Blitz is whatever style you like best, so go with your own gut on this one. But… if you really can’t make up your mind- I personally like the Pro-Line Flo-Tek, especially in 2wd short course where the parachute effect is the hardest to [...]
We knew this one was coming, and right on the heels of the uber new Apache SC is the HPI Apache C1 4WD Flux Brushless Buggy! This bad boy is also based off the D8/Vorza, is two 2S LiPo ready, and sports the same Q-Base ESC and Alphastar 2350kV brushless system as the Apache SC. This beast, however, [...]
Brian posted the video, but now it’s official! The HPI Apache SC Flux 4WD Short Course Truck is finally a reality! Sporting the suspension of the World Championship Winning HB D8 Buggy, a shaft driven 4WD platform powered by a Castle Q-Base ESC and Alphastar 2350kV brushless system, and capable of handling dual 2S LiPos, this thing is [...]
We recently posted the news and pictures about the HPI Apache Flux 1/8 scale buggy, but now we see there is also a short course version! As if HPI didn’t have the attention of the world before, the announcement of a 4×4 short course truck pretty much put them over the top! Here’s the video! More information coming soon, but [...]
