Good news everyone!
HPI aparantly is planing on providing better looking bodies for the XS.
Namely Wrangler Rubicon and El Camino SS
Where I got this info?
HPI Europe provided the
manual.
After looking at the manual, I may have to recall my earlier statement about the likelines of aluminum TVPs beeing available though.
Seems the battery tray and the "caseing" of the motor/servo are molded into the plastic TVPs, that's going to be interesting
Not so nice is the fact, that you can't adjust pinion tolerances freely.
There are only a few fixed mounting positions to choose from.
But, from what I can tell from the manual, the optional HD heat sink motor mount seems to adress that point.
And for those of you still worried about the typo on HPIs website, with the 10mm or what not wheel hexes.
Not only are all the rims listed as compatible with 12mm hexes, but the manual says the hexes are 12mm as well.
So, no worries there any more.
