Forget The Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift and all the other crap you’ve seen in the movies… Formula Drift is the real deal when it comes to drifting. Since most of us don’t have the skills, sponsors, or wallet to compete in the Formula Drift series, we’re left to our own devices when we feel the need [...]
Recently we broke the news about the HPI Racing Mini Recon. We now have a ton more pictures and info. It’s a 4WD Monster TRuck with a 370-size motor. It’s RTR with a 2.4GHz radio, battery, charger and even the AA’s for the transmitter. It comes with the RSC-18 ESC and RM-18 motor, oil filled shocks, and a composite tub [...]
Now this is something I think is cool! HPI Racing is releasing their 1/8th scale buggy in nitro and electric form, and finally bringing them to the US! The Trophy 3.5 (nitro) and Trophy FLUX will come ready to run. They both come with a 2.4GHz radio and aluminum chassis and shock towers. The FLUX version is 4S capable [...]
Another update from HPI Racing is the RTR BULLET MT FLUX. The BULLET MT is a 1/10th scale 4wd monster truck with some similar features to the BULLET ST Version. It will be waterproof, comes with a 2.4GHz radio, aluminum chassis, 2 shocks per wheel, a waterproof receiver/battery box and can handle a 3S Lipo. Just in time [...]
Looks like HPI Racing has a few new update of a few vehicles coming out in the near future. First up is the RTR BULLET ST FLUX. This is a 4WD 1/10th scale stadium truck, powered by the HPI Flux Brushless system featuring waterproof electronics making it ready to handle all sorts of bashing. This will be a fun [...]
Looks like HPI Racing is going to try and get into that ‘first rc vehicle’ category. The one where parents and a kid walk into a hobby shop and say, ‘What should we get our kid for his first RC?’ The HPI Mini Recon is going to have a price point of $99!! So it’s easy on the wallet. [...]
It’s here! It’s here it’s here it’s here! The HPI Savage XS Flux is here! Here are the unboxing pictures, including a pic of the XS Flux next to the Traxxas Stampede 4×4. Keep in mind that my ‘Pede 4×4 has the JConcepts body lowering kit with Pro-Line wheels and tires, so it is not quite [...]
“On vehicle for delivery.” The most beautiful words anyone can see on a UPS tracking status screen, especially when on that truck is my HPI Savage Flux XS!!! Sure, I was hoping to get it a little sooner than some of the other guys out there, but the universe often works against us here at Big Squid. [...]
Talk about a bashing vehicle! Just saw some info on the HPI Racing 1/8th scale brushless Trophy Flux Truggy! Comes RTR, with a 2.4, and sounds like it’s basically built for jumping on 4S Lipo! That we like! Also looks like a good amount of bling. This might be a Europe only vehcile, we’ll have to see if it makes [...]

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 [...]
Hello, I got a quick question. Can the Evader DT take LiPo batteries stock? If so, would I need to install a LVC? Thank you -Jordan Cubby– What’s up Jordan? Is it just me or do we get this question a lot? Well… if it’s getting asked this much I better man up and answer it. Can the Evader DT (same goes for [...]
