HPI Octane

[SMaxxin]

Tower just put it back on their site showing availability in early May. I really like this truck but $869.00 is not far from a 1/5 scale which comes with a lot more power!

I agree Pete, $900 for the Octane is pricing it out of the market IMHO.

 

[maddmike]

I could see 700 but comon really???900

If you consider that the eRevo Brushless is right around the $700 mark, and it's not even an 1/8th scale that isn't too bad.

I'm still wanting both the Octane and Losi!

I would love an octane but £750 in uk is to much then you've got hop ups I just sold my baja which comes in at nearly same price for more car just my opinion .

If you don't mind whip me up a batch I'm out of Sudafed and the local store is asking questions LOL! No really I am super pumped about these new gas rigs man. I think it might end up bringing the nitro and gas stuff back into the spotlight if it works out ok.

it'd be nice, i mean i respect an electric rig... but most people have no more respect for a nitro

Most definitely. I also run crawlers so I got to do embrace the electric side somewhat. Just be nice to see the gas stuff get some attention for a change.
