Just bought another

[wiggy2k7]

After buying a Kyosho DRX VE the other week i've now gone and bought my 2nd rc. I thought the price was too good to turn down. A HPI Trophy Truggy Flux, Its basically like new and hardly been used. It came with 4 lipo batteries and 2 chargers. I paid £180 for it, which i think is a good deal? Iv'e already ran a couple of packs through it up and down the street, all works as it should. Looking forward to running it more. Here's a few pics

If you bought a car the other week, now another consider yourself a soon to be RC addict great buy and a good price. Had the nitro version of this and enjoyed it. I’m sure the BL version is just as good if not better!

Good deal there matey

Couple of things that are vulnerable:

Get a couple of pairs of shock shafts spare and when the internal planetary diff gears let go get the #101142 hard ones to replace them.

The plastic hinge pin holder at the bottom back of front diff can snap. If so replace with the vorza alloy one #67384.

 

There are a few other bits that went on mine but if you don't jump it like a loon they're sweet

Still have mine.

Yeah i've read that there are a few fragile parts on them, i'll just upgrade if/when things break.

 

Do you know if these droop screws are for my truggy?

Two? That it? Don't get me started! Count up her shoes and handbags! How many of those does she have? ?

 

Or do what I do and hide them? ?
