We mentioned the exlusive scoop on a NEW Camaro body coming from HPI and we had our fingers crossed there would be a Sprint 2 connected with it. Well looks like we nailed it, except for the drift part! I have done some RC drifting, but never owned one. Well this new HPI Racing 2010 Camaro Drift Car makes me [...]
Recently we had a exlusive scoop on a NEW Camaro body coming from HPI and we had our fingers crossed there would be a Sprint 2 connected with it. Well, looks like we were close on the guess, as HPI Racing just announced the RTR Sprint 2 Sport with 1969 Chevy Camaro Z28R body. So while it wasn’t a 2010 [...]
Dan Fischer from Kershaw Designs dropped by the RC Driver Live show today to show off a bunch of new products and custom rigs. The biggest news from the show is Kershaw’s new Baja 5B/5T dedicated brushless chassis. The new chassis is going to be distributed through TGN Distributing. According to Dan it’s going to be a [...]
If you’ve ever taken on the massive undertaking that is painting a 1/5 scale body then you know just how time (and paint) consuming it can be. Well Thunder Designs, by way of TGN Distributing, has made decorating your HPI Baja 5B body as easy as peel-n-stick with their Swoop Design and Militant body skins. Both designs are available [...]
We know a lot of the RC world has been waiting for this one! Head over to the RC Reviews section and check out our HPI Racing Mini Trophy Truck Review
RPM has taken a keen interest in your rear end it seems. That is, if you drive a Baja 5B or 5T. The latest new product fresh out of their molds is a rear skid plate for said Baja 5Ts and 5bs. This new bolt-on skid plate is intended to provide additional protection for all those aftermarket exhaust pipes that [...]
Here it is folks, live and in the flesh, the HPI Mini Trophy Truck! I think it’s safe to say this is probably the most anticipated RC truck in a long time! Everywhere you go, people are talking about it, so it’s our honor to bring you this exclusive first unboxing. First off, the packaging is amazing! Whoever designed [...]
So while bashing at our long jump event where we watched Tim Mohr set a Long Jump record we pulled out the HPI Baja 5B! A lot of people say you can’t bash with a 5B, that too much breaks, but I think this video may prove them all wrong! Nobody could believe the durability that this truck [...]
Racers are an insatiable bunch. You give them a sweet ride like the Blitz and they want a high-end race version. So you give them the Blitz ESE, which is ready to tear up tracks and win races all over the world and they want more hop-ups for it. So what is HPI to do? Release more hop-ups of course. [...]
So you got a brand new Blitz, the body is pristine, the tires are shining, and the chassis is unscratched. You wish it could stay like that forever right? But you know the first time you run it all that new car sheen is going to be worn off and you can’t handle that. So HPI is stepping in [...]

We don’t have a lot of information at this time, but it looks like for all those Savage XL owners (we love ours) if you want a Savage Flux without dropping all the $$, then you might still be able convert to one! You [...]
Our spy got his wrist slapped for trying to snap a picture of the new body, but at least we have the news right? It sounds like HPI Racing may soon be releasing some pre-painted Chevy Camaro bodies! Hopefully there is a a Sprint 2 Flux RTR in the works with these bodies. If not, I still look forward to [...]
Sadly, it’s not my hand! With all the hype the HPI Mini Trophy Truck has been getting lately, I figure any new picture would be worth posting. Check out the HPI web site for more info. Thanks to our spy for the picture! I hope you bring it back to the office with you because I want to drive that thing. [...]

We all like tough stuff and RPM has been one of the great purveyors of such stuff for a long time. Now they have even more tough stuff for the Baja 5B and 5T drivers in the crowd. The new rear bumper is a direct drop-in replacement made out of the fancy RPM material that everybody knows and [...]
