http://www.hpiracing.com/hellfire/

on BYT forums a guy posted this
jus wanted to let you guys know

looks like a competition for the Mammoth ST
and more like a bigger Jato(except 4wd)

=)
somebody hopefully convert this to BL

its like a Lightning from Hotbodies since HPI and HB are same

but its more sleeker i guess and and some changed parts

Whoa, they kept that quiet.

Chassis is very adjustable. Adjustable anti dive,anti squat,kickup,ackermans,roll center,inboard toe etc etc.

Does a lightning have all these adjustments?

That thing looks right nice. I can't tell what is the drive train consist of though. Tranny or diff?

It says center diff.Claims easy acces to it,just 4 screws.

sweet man. Make a conversion easier.

i wanna get one =)

You're not alone on that one.

anyone know the damge to pocket book? Be nice to be albe to get a roller.

im guessing around 400$$$

if i get one
firsrt thing ima do is gut every nitro stuff out
sorta planned alrdy heh
the ESC goes in place of the tank
put the BL where the Engine is
and everything behind else is for the batt

Yeah, probably about the 400, i also heard that they include a .28 (K4,6) HP version.. (stronger than the normal .28..) sounds like a serious racer to me!

I would have to take it out and blast it a few times. Just to see if the brushless was an improvement and how much.

lol
ill get it and dont run nitro at all
and sell the engine and the pipe and the tank brand spankin new
and get some money for a BL setup

YOu do have point get more money for it if never run. I think it would make a great ride as brushless.

yup
bid it off ebay

hey Mike have you heard bout this truck??
or u just saw it right now?

This is the first I've seen of it. Looks like a LSP with some tweaks. I'll take one!

Yeah Mike, there was not even a split seccond that i thought you wouldn't..

(Mike means ; owner of 100 trucks)

haha he has a house full of trucks huh?
would be nice too if you make a conversion for it
man how bout buying me one Mike?

lol serum
maybe we'll see someday in the WEbster's Dictionary

under Mike

Mike-pronoun-owner of 100 RC cars, trucks, planes and/or boats

=)

GOOD NEWS or maybe somebody alrdy found out
HPI is gunna be releasing a "KIT" version of hellfire
means more cheap and easier to convert to Electric

That is good news! Where did you hear that,on the website i think it only mentions the RTR.Is it an SS,like with upgrades.

I found this on the hellfire page:

The Hellfire will sit along side the Savage in the HPI monster truck line-up. The Hellfire is fast, low and aimed at track enthusiasts, while the Savage is a proven “basher” with oversized durability and maximum ground clearance. Both trucks will be available in ready-to-run and kit versions.


Looks good :)

Cool, if only it had a plastic spur gear

yeah i found the info on the HPI web
^^^batfish posted it
i forgot too lol
i was gonna take o pic of the site and post it to be legit
but if you go to the hellfire page and go all the way down
it in the very last paragraph of the page

Price is around $650.00 for the RTR :P:

r u serious?

Towers is offering it RTR for 599..

how much do you guys think the kit would be??

I still doubt that HPI would sell it for any more than $450, they'd be killed by their own child company, Hot Bodies!

I really like this truck and think it would bea VERY nice BL conversion
