HPI Racing‘s Mini Trophy Truck has been given some cosmetic surgery and is now the Coyote DB. So beyond the body, what’s new with this vehicle? Well… not much. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It certainly does look cool as a buggy. So what’s the same? Pretty much everything. You’ll still finda 4wd drive-train with metal gear diffs, [...]

Hi Brian and Squiddy! I am really fascinated and really wanted to own Savage Flux XS as my first decent RC. I’ve seen a lot of reviews but yours finalized my decision to purchase one. However, with all the reviews I’ve seen so far, nobody mention (or maybe I missed those parts) about the run time of lets say 2s [...]
Ever wondered what it would be like to be able to go from land to water without any problems? Well I have the answer, an amphibious HPI wheely king! The wheely king is perfect for this build; it’s straight axles, four wheel drive, and chassis mounted steering means that only a few minor modifications need to be made. Keep reading [...]

Every so often a product is announced that makes a big impression, big enough that I just can’t keep from opening my big mouth. In the past I’ve done “special reports” on the Traxxas Slash 4×4 and on the Traxxas XO-1, both of which were huge news when announced, huge enough to be put in that exclusive [...]

HPI Racing seems to be ruling the Nuremberg show this year with all sorts of new releases. This one the HPI Savage Flux XS SS. I suddenly feel we need a ‘say it, don’t spray it’ category. Anyway, there are not a lot of details, but it sounds like this is going to be more of a kit version. [...]
