Get ready for some low cost fun, with the new FTX Outrage 1/8th off road buggy. Pitching in at under £200, the Outrage promises to spice up the budget 1/8th buggy category. Clean lines, with some cool design features to boot the Outrage has a lot more to offer than the low cost price would suggest.

Using the same modular top deck as featured on the smaller Rampage, the Outrage blends a compact and lightweight design to provide a great power to weight platform for excellent handling and speed. The 3-differential drivetrain and universal driveshafts help transmit the power from the pull start 3.5cc engine. Radio equipment is protected in specially designed radio boxes away from the rear mounted fuel tank.

And an added bonus for end users and hobby shops alike is that the Outrage retains many of the same suspension and transmission parts as used on the Rampage for a reduced parts count. Now you can own both and use the same spares! If you are looking for some outrageous fun the look to the Outrage!

The highly anticipated successor to the European Championship winning Hyper 8.5 has arrived. Not content to just provide a basic face lift, the designers at HoBao have produced their most innovative design to date in an effort to build on the Hyper 8.5's quality and performance. You will not be disappointed.

The Hyper 9 is a completely new design from the ground up with many new and innovative ideas. Several criteria were set and met in this new design. The number one goal in the new design was to keep the Hyper 9 light weight. Reduced weight equals faster acceleration and cornering speed. Smaller 8x14mm bearings have been used throughout the chassis (except for the rear 8x16mm wheel hub bearings). The number of screws was reduced, the plastic was reduced and the amount of aluminum used was reduced. The part count in total has also been reduced.

Next, in order of importance, was side to side balance, low center of gravity, ground clearance, all on as narrow a chassis as possible.
On the performance side, the buggy had to accelerate, corner, jump and land better than any other buggy on the market. Most of the testing for the new Hyper 9 was setting roll center points front and rear for better balance through the corners and better jumping. The new buggy has better matching roll centers that make the buggy more consistent as the track conditions change

* New front and rear brake sets
* T-shape linkage arm for 25° slanted engine and brake set
* One-piece battery box base and side guard for lower centre of gravity
* Big bore threaded body shock absorbers
* Lightweight one-piece wing and mount for improved weight distribution
* New servo saver and steering assembly for improved reliability and adjustment
* Unique 25° slanted engine to balance cars centre of gravity
* Titanium turnbuckles
* Smart pull for fuel tank to improve re-fueling
* Reduced weight, ground clearance & chassis width all make for improved jumping and cornering ability

Introducing the HPI Firestorm 2WD RTR stadium truck! This amazing 2WD stadium truck features all-new design specifications, cool racing attributes and a fresh direction for HPI's high quality entry level nitro truck line-up!

Designer Erik Shauver put all his design experience from designing HPI's high performance cars, like the Hellfire and the Pro 4, into the Firestorm. It combines the latest advances in RC racing truck technology and suspension design to set a new benchmark in 2WD stadium trucks.
In the HPI line up the Firestorm replaces the hugely popular HPI Nitro Rush with a big performance increase at about the same price.

It's easy to spot the Firestorm's design heritage from the Hellfire in the sleek black look, the subdued chassis anodizing, and the smart and efficient layout. Many design features of the high spec Hellfire have been carried over - from the black upper deck, the complete set of hex screws, the captured hinge pins front and rear, and the next-level suspension design and layout!
HPI thought of everything when it came to remaking the 2WD stadium truck. You get a huge power increase from a new, stronger pullstart G3.0 engine and an all-new chassis design to bring racing like performance to a rock solid entry level truck.
