a.k.a. "mini Savage"

I believe this is the truck I've been waiting for. I've been itching to get another truck and the timing for the release of this truck couldn't be better.

Tentatively scheduled for a mid-summer release, the XS Flux RTR will be waterproof out-of-the box 2.4 GHz.

Top speed on this little beast is 60 mph.

Price point that's been circulating is sub $300.

Start selling off some poop now that you don't need to pay for this truck.

Something tells me we'll be talking about this truck for a long time.

here are some pics of it.

[redneck]

is this 1/18 scale or what scale is it

 

[frddyj]

I'm hoping 1/10..

its gonna be an insane little truck caz it will have blinding speed that you don't have to jack up the LiPo voltage to get.

small and light = less voltage needed for higher gearing and less work for the esc & motor.

I wonder how it will hold up, it looks to be all plastic (event the tvps appear to be plastic).

neat little truck

 

[xsavage3148]

Definitely considering one of these. I have always wanted to check out the brushless stuff this might be a good start.

 

[thesmilingpirate]

Does anyone have inside info on a release date for this truck? I haven't seen HPI make the date public yet? I know a mid-summer date has been mentioned.

Not sure how this site already has it listed but is out of stock? cornfused
