RC Bil Nitro HPI Trophy 3.5 Buggy

RC Bil Nitro | HPI Racing Trophy 3.5 Buggy All HPI vehicles are equipped with a comfortable and feature-packed HPI 2.4GHz radio system for supreme control and confidence! The radio features a pistol-grip design with steering wheel for ease of use and realistic control, compact size, servo reversing and a light weight due to it requiring only four AA batteries. You won't have to worry about radio crystals or what channel other RC racers are using with our 2.4GHz technology - the radio does all that work for you! The radio prevents frequency conflicts automatically and changes channels if there is any interference. Finally, if you ever lose radio signal, an electronic failsafe will bring it to a safe and controlled stop. You'll have professional-level control in one easy RTR package! The Nitro Star F3.5 V2 engine provides the grunt needed to get the Buggy 3.5 up to wild speeds - it's loud, it's powerful and it's strong, so you'll be able to rip off huge stunts like record-setting long jumps, backflips, tall jumps, even double backflips! The F3.5 V2 engine is lighter and more energy-efficient than the V1 engine used in the first Trophy buggy, so you'll get even BETTER acceleration and HIGHER top speeds!   The engine is started by a simple pullstarter system and is protected by a unique water splash cover and 2-stage air filter for extra protection, and the two-needle carburetor allows you to fine-tune the performance for any kind of weather or fuel. One added benefit of the Nitro Star F3.5 is that it's a race-legal .21-sizeengine, which means you can drop down to your local track or club and enter in a race as soon as you open the box! 2.5 horsepower on tap V2 Update: Lighter heatsink head for better power-to-weight ratio V2 Update: Larger one-way bearing on pullstarter for increased durability V2 Update: Taller heatsink head for increased cooling  Race-legal .21 engine size True ABC construction for long life Composite carb construction helps prevent heat vaporization of fuel Finned aluminum case Huge aluminum heatsink Tough pullstarter fitted standard 2-stage air filter for extra engine protection Splash cover over air filter keeps the engine from getting flooded with water in wet conditions 2-needle carb adjustment for fine-tuning On the inside, the F3.5 has true ABC construction, with a chrome-plated brass piston and cylinder surrounded by the lightweight aluminum case. To get you going quickly, the F3.5 uses a pullstarter system, and a large opening on the underside of the chassis allows you to utilise a starter box for even faster engine starting. If you want to upgrade to simple engine starting, just install the #87130 HPI Roto Start 2 engine starting system for push-button engine starting!FEATURES  Factory-assembled & pre-painted 4WD nitro racing buggy 2.4 GHz radio system for crystal-free, comfortable control Waterproof laydown steering servo for low CG and awesome handling Waterproof throttle/brake servo Enclosed receiver/battery box protects battery and receiver from the elements Covered air filter keeps water away from the air intake Low centre of gravity (CG) design for great track performance Strong and reliable Nitro Star F3.5 engine with 2.5hp Strong engine mount and large flywheel opening for starter boxes Easy and simple pullstarter for instant action 4mm 6061 aluminum chassis has angled sides for extra stiffness Thick 6061 aluminum shock towers are strong and durable Thick steering brace for increased chassis stiffness Low-profile aluminum radio tray securely mounts servos Race-tuned suspension design for awesome traction Extra-long, oi-filled shocks with aluminum shock bodies Multiple shock and camber link locations for extra race tuning Steel turnbuckle links allow you to custom-tune the ride Tough front bumper protects against crash damage Extra-large 160cc fuel tank gives you plenty of runtime Powerful, adjustable & vented front and rear steel disk brakes Strong fiber brake pads for longevity and fade resistance HB Proto tires look fantastic on black chrome wheels Intelligent fuel line routing to keep things neat and tidy Cast aluminum steering knuckles for increased strength 17mm hex hubs resist stripping out and are hollow for light weight Slick racing bodyshell is prepainted and cut out for instant race looks Adjustable mounts for the wide racing wing Extra suspension mounts included for tuning options
