HPI Racing Sport 3 Flux Audi e-tron Vision GT Supercar

HPI is back with their Sport 3 Flux, this time topped with the Audi e-tron Vision GT Supercar!
In this video, we unbox this bad boy to show you all the features included, then take it to the park for some full-speed passes.
However, we did encounter a few things that hindered its performance: dragging body, low ride height and some wandering steering. We address all of those issues, though, and make a second attempt at some serious speeds, hitting a final pass at 65mph! That's quite respectable for the stock gearing! Up the pinion a bit more and the touted 70+mph is a sure thing!

Enjoy the video!

Excellent video SIR

[@Competitionx]

Thanks!

[@michaeldorich4485]

You did a very good review and test. It's a beautiful body. I think I watched another review and the ride height from the factory seems to be an issue.

[@Competitionx]

Thanks. Really did enjoy this car - the look is amazing and really impressed with the speed - and the durability. Full review will be online later this week!

[@robertruiz5417]

I use hpi motors4000kv and escs in all my 1/10th RC cars

[@Competitionx]

Good setup right there.

[@bradkalman2353]

Love to see you on our chats I'm having a problem getting ahold of Dewayne white about getting Tamiya RC catalogs he's not answering the phone back there if they're in stock?

[@Competitionx]

I'll try and make it soon. Been really busy lately. Sorry, not sure who Dewayne White is.

[@brianargo1659]

I think the problem with that body is that the back of the car traps air in it. I think if some holes were cut out say up round the talelights just so air can flow out of the back instead of getting trapped in the pocket would do it alot of Justice. But idk

[@Competitionx]

Ya, could be. For future speed runs I may chop out the entire diffuser, at the very least. See what happens.

[@keithb8329]

Why can't they make it just a little bit bigger for visibility like all the Arrmas and Traxxas RCs

[@Competitionx]

Agreed - this LARGER would be so bad ass!!!

[@stumpycatvm7115]

i just want the bodyset and wheels to git yo a Tt02

[@Competitionx]

Ya, the body is awesome!!!

[@jordanhughes5721]

What gearing combo is on that combo

[@Competitionx]

It's stock, so if we're remembering right, a 32T pinion, 66T spur gear. You can purchase the High-Speed Gear Set (which gives you a 53T spur gear and 44T pinion gear) to hit over 70mph.

[@robertruiz5417]

I reached 85mph with optional speed gearing

[@Competitionx]

Nice! We still have to get on that. We've unfortunately beat it up a bit just getting to where we are at.
