HPI has changed ownership a few times since they started. Either way, their distribution in the US sucks. Like I said, I believe the products are good, but the company history..IDK.Just without googling, i'm going to make a guess: 99% sure it's not.
Did I win the grand prize????
EDIT: BIG OOOF. I lost the game.
"HPI Savage is a line of radio-controlled monster trucks manufactured in Japan by Hobby Products International of Foothill Ranch, California, US."
Was kinda hoping it was Bavarian..With some googling : founded in California now Scandinavian.
The hobbywing cause it's massively cheaper??So here's a question for everyone, if you had the flux version what would be the better power system..!!
CASTLE vs HOBBYWING

HPI is still getting back up to speed imo. The prices are a barrier to entry anyway, but I'd still be slow to jump in until they got more steam. Although if I had 800 to drop willy nilly I'd totally buy one of the Vorzas right now.HPI has changed ownership a few times since they started. Either way, their distribution in the US sucks.

Also, that's gotta be some old stats..none of these are made in Japan anymore? Could explain the price, but I'd doubt it.

No, but I do remember the post. I'm sorry if I come off as dissing HPI. I think their current lineup looks good. I'd really like to have that new truggy. I really hope they do catch some traction and gain market shares.Was that you that was talking to the guy from rc hobby explosion about the Team Corally stuff and he said that HRP just wasn't really ordering anything?

@slick2500 doesn't know!@slick2500 .. What's your opinion on the new Baja 5B Flux ?? worth the money or just overpriced
Straight conversion from UK list price £699 would make it $775 at todays exchange rate..
Wasn't the old rtr like $1,500? $775 doesn't sound too bad for the roller.@slick2500 .. What's your opinion on the new Baja 5B Flux ?? worth the money or just overpriced

Well there really isn't anything to compare these too other than the clones and the clones have always been cheaper than the HPI so.OK he knows
Imagine another RaiderWell there really isn't anything to compare these too other than the clones and the clones have always been cheaper than the HPI so.
Did you get the Ghost already?daaaamn, I said no car anymore after my UFRC Ghost Rabbit. But this could be a changer.
Yes posted some unboxing pics. But I drove it yesterday again and lost a wheel nut. Even with blue loctide they unthread themselves. Little pit pissed. But now I know I even have to use red loctide on the wheelscrew. Still will make a video but have to see how I get the special wheelcovernut.Did you get the Ghost already?
The Raider was definitely inspired by the Baja, goes to show Jason's roots from HPI.Imagine another Raider
I know I know. I always say that.
