Newer. The V2 i have is the newest HPI brushed truck. They make an SC, an MT, and an ST version of both the V2 and the brushless Flux. I only picked it up because it was super cheap, and parts are cheap for it, but, a couple people i know that have them say they are pretty durable, so, we shall see, once its done.
It will actually be a bit. I picked this up intending to have this be my next build, but, then, last night i picked up two complete AE ProSC10's that have stripped diff gears, so, before the Jumpshot is done, I'm going to do the all metal DR10 gears and get both of the SC10's running first. One is going to be the stock ProSC10 body, and one is going to alternate between the Trophy Rat and SR10 body.Jumpshot is one of my favorite chassis. Watching with interest to see how this comes together for you.

Ahhh OK. It probably is pretty durable, at least if the TVPs are any indication
The whole thing started because of an odd bet a friend and i have, thats been going on for a couple years. He will pick up a vehicle from one company, and then ill pick one up from another company, and, we will do minimal things to make them personalized/unique, and then see who has the more "bashable" (in other words, which truck can take the most abuse before breaking) truck at a local skate park. I only picked the HPI because another guy i know said it would be a better truck, since, at the time i was bouncing back and forth between a Blitz (which i will probably still get in the next round) and an older SC10. This round, once its done, its gonna be the Jumpshot vs. an Arrma Vorteks 4x2 to see who breaks first, and, since winter has hit, and it wont be above 40 degrees F again until at least march, it should be interesting.
How much did you pay for it? New or used? It looks super cool, I would like to get one but it's quite expensive for what it is
Used, on eBay. Every once in awhile they show up on there for $150 or less. I paid $130 for this one. Right now though, the only thing on there are two V2 MT sliders, and a V2 SC slider, for $99 each. Typically, ill start with something like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/394102215316?hash=item5bc2529294:g:CB8AAOSwwYBimn8I&amdata=enc:AQAHAAAAoOyb3a4o6JE7qPFnuujpKXvOCsp87biqa+/+9RudMkDUKKrayhaproJzgr4aXUOhvoEmK1bTkko5ipGLDkwu32bRQuNS/4nx9HjJHAQPuIszKcfDCjLhsARjIAG3fVyjCXTQrg7IcHlh8s0YkL6wWG0d1f47sjOeIN8SAzrgekpZ8cv5rNMPfiz40l8pSyv8yEcAxrWUsQfu4rWU4PRmV8M=|tkp:Bk9SR5Tv14KWYQ&LH_BIN=1 and build it how i want it, but, i fell into the one i have, because it came nearly complete, which is rare at that price on eBay.
Thank you! Is that the rear shock measurement? Now, if I can find some decent aluminum shocks to fit, I might have to take a good hard look at pushing a Buy It Now button.
Yes:
