Comments on for this one also.. now what do you guys think?
The official HPI Racing site does not have any details at this time.
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 free threaded hinge pins.
If a Savage XS isn’t your thing, check out this cool new Jeep Wrangler shell to suit the Savage XL. It comes with realistic looking decals and the neccessary window masks, and is fully licenced by Chrysler too!

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 Jets. However, with tons of hype comes very high expectations. Is the XS Flux the go-anywhere, crazy powerful, face-meltingly fast mini monster truck I’ve spent the last few months hyping it up to be? Click through to find out!
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, gives you that awesome scale look, complete with two drivers who are sure to get a serious bashing if we get our hands on one of these!
As always, check out HPI for all the info!
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 ready to compete right out of the box. Since it is based off the Vorza and the D8, a wide variety of Hara Edition D8 option parts will bolt right on, too! This thing is going to rock!!!
Make sure you check out HPI for all the info, as soon as they get it up there!
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 wanted to share this asap!
