Is this a competitive kit? Will it hold its own with the Mugen's, OFNA's and Kyosho's? Just curious if I decide on another build project...
 
the hellfire won an a-main race somewhere in Europe, i saw the pics not long ago in an euro website. it looks very nice.

Have one on the way. I'll post pics once I'm done building it.
Post pics of the build. I enjoy watching those posts. Probably a lot of others enjoy them too. :)
 
I owned a Hellfire before and cannot withstand replacing diff cups every race. HPI has moved products for serious racing to HOT BODIES as far as I can see.

Honestly, the Hellfire looks very nice.

Thx

Sorry man, I didn't think I could get a hold of the camera in time. One digital, many people.

The truck is done, so I'll take some pics for you.

Update, finally got my hands on the camera. That thing's everywhere-ness is getting kinda freaky.

Those who wanted a build up sequence will probably get their wish. Just broke in the race engine, and the truck is going through a complete teardown after the muddy practice I had.
