HPI Mini Trophy 4wd desert truck

We brought you the announcement of the partnership of HPI and TSA Motorsports last week and today they have released the full details on the new Mini Trophy 1/12th scale 4wd desert truck. HPI Racing delivers super realism influenced by their relationship with TSA. An interesting note about this particularly “special project” is the fact that TSA used the body styling from HPI Racing and shaped the TSA full-size 7200 class truck to look like the HPI Mini-Trophy Truck, so the HPI Mini-Trophy came first.

DuraTrax 1/10 scale Evader DT

Scale detail at a low price is the combination that makes the 1/10 scale Evader DT from DuraTrax one-of-a-kind. Killer custom style surrounds the tough-as-nails 2WD chassis, with realistic off-road wheels and tires that tuck neatly beneath the painted pre-runner body. Bumpers, skid plate, roll bar, light bars, mirrors, truck bed with cooler and functional spare tire all add up to an RTR rig that rocks. Hit the throttle of the included Tactic radio and imagine you’re ripping up a riverbank, catching air and coming down easy, confident that if a Stress-Tech part breaks, DuraTrax will replace it free.
