What We Like:
First off, we’re super stoked to see HPI back in the market with something new, especially in the popular 1/18 scale segment. In HPI style, they’ve given us a great looking truck that is SUPER feature-loaded, just what we’d expect from them. We can’t wait to see what additional hop ups become available as well.
What We’re Not Sure About:
Nothing – we even love that HPI offers 2 ‘levels’ of trucks for budget-minded purchases.
