HPI Pulse RTR 1/8th scale buggy

Fitted with the extremely powerful K4.6 high output engine from the Savage X 4.6, full racing suspension and a complete set of grey-anodized aluminium parts, HPI introduces the Pulse RTR buggy. Completely outfitted with all the specifications, parts and tuning capabilities of much more expensive racing buggies, but it’s available to you at a competitive price, completely assembled and ready to go. The Pulse buggy was designed from the start to bridge the gap between entry-level RTR kits and the crazy expensive full racing kits that include no running gear and must be built to precise specifications. What that means is you get a fantastic Premium RTR buggy with top-quality materials and the ability to race with the big dogs, all with RTR convenience and a great price. Every part in the car was designed to be the highest quality and give the best performance on the track.

Max Power 2664 touring car pipe

Max Power in Italy have released their new touring car pipe (EFRA 2664), which now fits perfectly into the Serpent 733. The EFRA 2649 exhaust, which had a long style shape, had a excellent result at the 2009 European Championships, but was too long to fit into the new car from Serpent due to its more forward mounted engine and so the new exhaust solves this issue and yet retains the same characteristics as the longer version.
