This was my Xmas present and my first ever Hobao. Was initially going to use it as a basher as it was so cheap but whilst working on it, it felt like it could also handle some track time.

NOW SOLD ~ For sale here is my Castle Mamba Monster 2 Retro ESC. This is 2-6S Lipo capable and is ideal for anyone doing speed runs with their RC's. This has seen very limited use of maybe 10 runs or so as it was more of a back up ESC (I have two MM2's). These are hard to find generally being the "Retro" version and the MM2 it's self is more of a rarity here in the UK. Would suit predominantly on-road 1/8th buggies, truggies and monster trucks (up to 15lbs in weight) but you could put it in whatever you feel suitable. Please do your research and make sure you're happy it will work for your application before buying. This is used but I have tested it this afternoon and all works as it should (have video if needed). Any questions please feel free to ask. Comes fitted with 8mm bullets as that is what I use but easy to swap. I can remove them for buyer if preferred. Also comes with a printed copy of the "Quick Start Guide". Full manuals available online. Castle Link adjustable settings include: Throttle Braking curve Drag brake Auto LiPo cutoff Punch Control Reverse Type Motor Type Happy to accept questions/offers but I think it's a fair price for this ~ Price is £100 which includes; PayPal fees (@£3 odd est) and Royal Mail 2nd Class Signed For delivery (@£4.20 est) PayPal payment preferred please. Normal forum etiquette please call "Dibs/PM sent" or "I will take this" to be considered first refusal and be transparent to other members followed by a PM to myself to discuss. Thanks for looking.

Right I'm in need of some help/info regarding my tyre and even wheel choices for my HPI Trophy Truggy 4.6 as I'm struggling a bit with lack of information out there and a lot of incorrect info as well... First thing is the size of the wheels, I've got the standard 7 Spoke Chrome wheels that come with the Truggy and I've measured them and they are approximately 4" across and 2" in width. Now this is a bit odd as almost all of the info out there seems to go on about Truggy wheels being 3.2" and 3.8", so what's the crack? Are the Trophy wheels 4" or a very generous 3.8" and is this a standard? If so why are all the wheels and tyres I come across for Truggys generally 3.2"? I've currently got the HPI Shredder tyres on but am looking for something a bit more suited to off road use (grass, mud etc). The Proline Badlands seem to be well regarded but when looking at the 3.8" version they have massive side-walls and I was hoping for something more low profile but with a decent tread as wont a 3.8" tyre with a large side-wall end up being too big for a Truggy and more suited to a MT? Can you get low profile off road 3.8-4.0" tyres? Or is it the case that the 3.8-4.0" wheels on the Trophy Truggy are a bit of an anomaly and actually I should be looking at getting some 3.2" wheels and using tyres made for them which have a much larger side-wall such as the HPI Aggressor Tyres (#4892)? Also if I should go for a 3.2" wheel tyre combo what's happened to the Badlands in a 3.2" fitment?? Cheers Ryan
