It sounds like at the very least, they will be quickly accessible to hobby stores. It depends on what your local hobby store is willing to stock I would think.

Your going to love it! It is the perfect basher! Hopefully like comppro said, they will be sending parts over to the U.S soon.

The problem with the trophy 4.6 is the pullstarts. They are complete garbage, and for some reason the truck has some issues with rotostart. The plate doesn't want to fit mine right, and the gear inside keeps getting jammed.
They are SUPER tough though, recently mine hit 2 trees at full speed in a row, drove up them 6-7 feet, did a back flip and landed right on the side. Amazingly no damage other than a shattered piston connecting rod (Ouch!) This was my fault though. Make sure you get a throttle return safety spring and make sure its on right!
And make SURE to tighten all bolts before you drive it. I lost a wheel and 2 motor mount bolts from them being loose. And when I removed my head it wasn't tight either.

Take a look at the Kyosho Inferno Neo St Truggy RTR
In my opinion this is one of the greatest RC values because it comes with a really good engine, a good 2.4mhz radio system, great Kyosho handling and the truggy is almost indestructable!
I am having blast with mine.

Haven't been on here in a while, but I am interested in this conversation. I have a Losi Ten-T and I love it. This thread is making me interested in the HPI Trophy 4.6 though. I'm not as much a big racer as I am a basher. The Trophy seems to do both really well. I will have to keep that in mind when making a new kit purchase. HPI has a track record of very sturdy and tough products (I own 2 Savages) and this Trophy seems to follow in those footsteps. If anyone knows different about it durability, please let me know before I wind up pulling the trigger on this one.

The trophy 4.6 is just as durable as the savage. If you get it you won't be dissapointed!
