MrCake Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 https://www.hpiracing.com/en/kit/150351   Certainly interesting looking! No idea where the inspiration came from 😅  Not sure of likely UK price but 4S capable so might be good fun.

James.S Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) When you buy your Arrma Infraction from wish.com...  All jokes aside though, it does look pretty cool. I do hope it's durable, but I doubt the spur/pinion & diffs will be able to take 4s for long Edited September 10, 2021 by James.S 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Is it a kit? 10th scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 would assume it will be RTR.  It's basically a new shell/wheels on the existing Maverick Quantum chassis. Hopefully, they upspecced it a bit to cope with the speed running, and it would be nice if those upgrades were compatable with other models in the lineup. No idea if they are...but it would make sense.  Shell is a total ripoff design 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 They say it's based on teh Maverick Quantum+ truck...which is 1/10 Â But...it also says it's running 17mm hexes, which makes those wheels buggy sized on roads.... Â So...my guess is, they took the 1/10 truck, and stretched the chassis, as the wheels look further apart. I guess all you need is a longer chassis tub and a longer centre driveshaft. Then they could call it a 1/8 Slap on a new shell, and it's done. Would really not need much work to do it when you are the guys making it....and they would be able to use the same wheel hexes as fitted to the Trophy etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomr Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Looks the same chassis as the Quantum+ with the centre diff and servo position etc  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-racing Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Cheap  This can be intresting for Drifting outside  if it is  light in weight 1/8 compared to Arrma Infraction 1/7 that is one heavy rig. Then 4s drifting will be fun with this HPI outside i believe. 4s lipos are cheap also., 17mm hexm  then there is also cheap spare wheels like GRP S7 hard rubber ones, they are nice for drifting and good looking wheels also.   This 1/8 must be atleast 1000g lighter than the 1/7 Infraction ?  Something to next summer maybe, if it is light in weight.  The Heavy 1/7 infractions burns tyres too fast when drifting because the heavy weight.  They are more high speed cars with 6s.  I believe this 1/8 HPI can be very fun Outside Drifter  Any total weight Info ? compared to 1/7 infraction that is heavy one.  The black looks hardcore. If i buy this,,i will buy the Blue one, Because this Body Color is highly wisible at black asphalt, The blue one will be Most Easy to see of them all, , i believe this color will be More easy to  control because of the high visibly for nice drifts i believe `?

Gaz! Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Very tempting price wise, maybe half the Arrma but it’s also half the price (approx) those wheels and tyres look good too…. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I am tempted by one of these.I am not really into road cars but for the price it could tempt me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
