Looking at the information HPI Racing put live about 3 hours ago, it linda feels like the majority of their lineup is haveing a refresh or being replaced! HPI had very few new releases of late, and I had presumed that they were paying the current financial situations cautiously, but perhaps they were just waiting for their 30th year anniversary celebrations? Whatever the reason, the Jumpshot range is getting a big expansion. The Jumpshot MT is a more budget oriented vehicle, but seeing the platofrm expand into a Stadium Truck and Short Course Truck I can’t but help wonder if it is relacing the Firestorm/Blits platform, or simply slotting in below it.
The Savage Range has also had a big update with a range of new and updated vehicles, even the diminutive Q32 adds a new model to the range, and of course the Venture crawler is also making a splash. One other update that asbeen mentioned in passing is the Fusion system, an all in one ESC and motor that has been added to the updated Jumpshot MT and Wheely King.
Ok, so here is the long list of what we know, so far……..
