Hpi Mini Trophy Truck 1/12 Scale

This is a quick no frills one take edit with my Hpi Mini Trophy Truck.
I was using up the charge in a 7 cell 4200 Nimh battery.
The Trophy should have an Hpi 15T Firestorm motor,
but came with an Hpi 27T Saturn motor when I bought it.
So not as quick as it should be.
I have an Hpi 15T and will install it when I find it !
This is the official Hpi page explaining why it's called a mini.
It's name sometimes causes confusion about it's scale.
Thanks for watching : )

What an absolute jewel of an RC truck! I think the relative narrowness of the wheel track (compared to, say, a Slash) contributes to this vehicle´s sure-footed stability when at speed off-road. The gorgeous scale rear suspension helps, too. What a treat you have in store the first time you drive it on a beach or in a quarry with the 15T motor!
There´s a short slomo clip in my channel trailer which illustrates my point about the high-speed stability on bumpy terrain. I found that fitting one of the very lioghtweight spare wheels to the cab roof made the truck very likely indeed to come to rest upon its wheels after rolling.
Everyone except me thought it looked silly, though.

Always been very envious of this one, fantastic looking SCT and the 1/12 scale suits it I reckon 👍🏻

That's a really great looking truck, Derek! Looks nice with the tail flicking out - should flick a lot more when you find that 15T motor! Hope you are well and having a good weekend matey! :-)
