HPI Racing is proud to announce the new Desert Trophy Truck, made from the best of all worlds. It has the realism to drop jaws- from the extremelydetailed and functioning trailing arm suspension to the full roll cage, down to a detailed interior set with driver and co-driver that is topped off with an officially licensed set of Yokohama Geolander tires and Yokohama liveried body. It packs a 4WD drivetrain that has no problem putting the blistering power of the 15T Firebolt motor to the ground, the ability to conquer virtually any surface you throw at it with ease, and thepower to motor out of spots where four-wheel drive is mandatory. Everything is complete with the legendary and unrivaled HPI durability- steel dogbones at all four corners, brushless ready metal gear differential, and aluminum front uprights and rear hubs just to name a few. The new Desert Trophy Truck is packed full of features that will drop jaws, turn heads, and keep begging for more…so get yours today!

OFFICIALLY LICENSED YOKOHAMA LIVERY
Keeping in line with the scaled appearance, look, and feel of the Desert Trophy Truck, the unique three-piece body comes from the factory with an officially licensed Yokohama Tire graphic package. The Yokohama graphics will not only turn heads and win you concourse awards, they tie in perfectly to the included Yokohama Geolander that have also been scaled down to perfectly replicate the 1:1 version, all while providing the Desert Trophy Truck with the traction it needs to rip it up on virtually any surface you throw at it!

HPI DURABILITY
The HPI Desert Trophy Truck uses nothing but the finest grade, high-impact nylon plastic on the most critical areas of the truck – from the bumpers to the super beefy arms and everything in between. HPI’s industry known strength and durability makes the Desert Trophy friendly for all, and most of all – FUN!

DRIVABILITY
With a four wheel drive system, driving is made easy. Add more power with a brushless system and the stability and control is still there! The truck simply drives really well in the loose dirt. When traction breaks loose and the rear end of the vehicle is swung out and on-throttle, the truck remains controllable. Bottom line, this 4WD technical feature adds to the overall fun factor.
