4wd 5sc coming out soon

[skellyo]

HPI posted on their Facebook page they are releasing a 4wd 5sc tomorrow. Speculation from the pic of the hood is that it's electric...shows a big F on it like their other Flux vehicles. Only one pic so far and it's only of the hood of the body.

It's about dang time! I've always wanted a 5th scale, but didn't want a 2wd.

Losi is also releasing a 5th scale SC: http://www.redrc.net/2011/09/losi-5i...ck/#more-47137 Not electric though

That Losi looks amazing, now if I only had a place to run something like that.

Figures they would release this after I've spent a few months building a 4WD E-5SC.

Hmmm, I wonder what electronics it will use......and what goofy name they will give it.

RCCA has confirmed it, both the losi and HPI. Here is the HPI RCCA link

You guys see the losi 1/5 4wd SC truck that was just announced? May have to get me one of these and convert it....

Should be easy for Mike to make a conversion kit for this. Just scale up his 8ight conversion kit. Exact same layout as the 8ight buggy or truggy. Just bigger and with a gas motor instead of the nitro motor.

on the losi site it says available for $1600. Yikes, these big things are expensive!

I won't be cheap but that's most likely MSRP and not street price.

[brainanator]

^^ no no no, the MSRP is like 3k, LOL.

that's a good overview of the losi, everything looks much more beefy than the images make them look, I think it looks great!

[whitrzac]

ROTFL!!! They found the scaling feature in whatever CAD program they used

I like that better than all the others I've seen.

I'm gonna go look to see if you have a build thread. Does that thing wheelie? It's making me want to build a 1/5 scale from some of my 1/8 scale trucks.
