Hellfire - Bashed

I had the bright idea that I would take my shiny new Hellfire down to the local BMX track, what a blast!!! I had a great time! I ended up beating the shit out of it... but it was so much fun.

I ended up bending the rear shock tower ( note the aluminum piece between the rear tires) I also scratched the body up pretty well, but that always happens when you land upside down!. I finally got the hang of how the Hellfire jumps and was able to get it to fly and land perfectly.

I have started modding the Hellfire, not that it needed it, but that's just what I do. In the picture the exhaust pipe is an aftermarket OFNA jammin JP1, it rules, it adds alot of torque.

Money into the Hellfire:

$40 Jammin exhaust from of EBAY

Total so far

$640

HPI Hellfire

It has been a long time since I have posted to the blog and a lot has happened with regards to my hobby habit. I found myself wanting a little more out of an R/C truck. The Jato was great for it's speed and durability, but I was limited in where I could drive it. I wanted a 4 wheel drive truck and had a ton of choices. Most of the guys that I run with have Traxxas Revo's or HPI Savages. I,being me, wanted something different,so I started my search and to make a long story short I settled on the HPI Hellfire. I love this "Truggy". Yes that's right it is called a Truggy, I guess it is a cross between a truck and a buggy. The RTR version was kind of steep at $600, but I wanted it. Here is a pic in it's pristine state.
