Garry Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Also on display for the first time is the Trophy 4.6 truggy, following along the same lines as the Trophy 3.5, using an older chassis designed which is combined with some bling parts such as wheels and anodised parts together with a pull start engine for a great cost effective entry into this class.

Milliscent Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 It does yes, very good looking truck (imo). you can see what hpi are doing tho keeping with thier recreational stuff while hot bodies pumps out the dogs whatsits in racing gear keeping the two markets separate but making more money if you see what i mean they are pushing both the brands in defferent directions while offering a broad range and filling price brackets with quality gear in all areas clever stuff IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m3lyc Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) is it me or is that jsut a hellfire in a skirt? adam No, its the new HB LSP RTR in a skirt. The only things that are different is the shell, wheels n tires, and the wing. Apart from that its an LSP. Oh and the shocks are from the old LSP, not this one. Look: http://www.hbeurope.com/kit.php?partNo=66862&lang=en Sorry but how lazy can HPI bloody get. They already had a good truggy with the hellfire, why rebadge an LSP then pas it off as their own?

martin34 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 They can pass it off as their own because hb and hpi are the same company.I realy think that hpi are selling out a bit here.They have discontinued the Hellfire that was a great basher but bring back to life the lsp.I like the lsp and it was realy the start of the truggy thing but if you are new to rc then you will think the trophy 4.6 is a brand new car which we all know it isnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin34 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 If u find the Kit version in ur search - do let me know But since its new - i'd expect similar price to the Trophy when new - plus a lil more for the "truggy" factor Ziggy I didnt know they did a kit version of the lsp.I know they did the lsp pro that came with ali parts and no engine or electrics but it was already built.Is that the one you mean or do you mean a complete kit in bits?

Garry Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Seen for the first time back in February, HPI have finally released their Trophy Truggy 4.6. Completely pre-built and ready to go right out of the box, everything is assembled and tuned by professionals. Everything from the engine connections to shocks are perfect before you even open the kit so you don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
