HPI Trophy 4.6 Maiden BASHING! | 1/8 NITRO Truggy

[@TheRCBiker]

Time to bash the TROPHY 4.6! PLEASE make sure you are subscribed - lots of my loyal fans are not subscribed! Let's get that 100k :D

[@downunderdan5132]

Just picked up one of these second hand in excellent nick. Love it. And the HPI experience with its digital garage is next level 🇦🇺😀😎

[@TheRCBiker]

Enjoy!

[@traxxasrc10]

Suspension looks very very soft and it keeps blowing through the stroke to quick. Engine sounds mint!!

[@TheRCBiker]

Yes I can adjust it! Love these engines :)

[@Bigfoot0510]

If you still have this car, could you do a speed run video please? I have the same car and it's fast but I'm sure a man of your calibre can get this tuned well so we have a ballpark on how fast we can get ours going. Great video and great channel. You deffo know your stuff.

[@TheRCBiker]

This type of car isn't built for speed it's made for off road capabilities

[@pcrashford5367]

Your ripping that on the humps to 😂😂 top driver i love this trophy

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks! More coming :D

[@mdfishman1959]

Holy bleep that thing is vicious! Nice job putting it through its paces

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks :)

[@dolobrolic6066]

Just blew my bearings in the clutch bell...... but other than that my 4.6 rips!!!! 🔥👍🏾

[@TheRCBiker]

Ah that's a shame! Cheap n easy fix though!

[@alexcarlson2171]

I have one of these, and it was running fine through the first 1.5 tanks of break in and after that it was running rough, would stall and would sound extremely lean even though the needles were on the factory settings

[@TheRCBiker]

Just because it's on factory settings doesn't mean it's lean. I actually find these Force engines do tend to be set quite lean on the low end. Richen it out

[@alexcarlson2171]

Thanks! I also find that there are bubbles in the fuel line, which usually indicates that there is air getting in, usually through the tank, and I think that there is a fuel pressure issue because of it

[@alexcarlson2171]

Naturally, I tried richening it from the beginning and it had almost zero impact on the way the engine ran. That’s why I think it’s a leak somewhere in the fuel system

[@jaamilmaalik8671]

I Love Hpi Racing!

Loving that flip happy bashing 💨💨💨💨

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks :)

[@shaun3756]

Looks a ace buggy. Iv broke in my hyper turbo 30 on week end. Im hoping to take it out 1day up rd to feild just do wat ur doing n till im happy that its running gud.

[@joshchatwin8179]

I’m going to put arrma shocks on mine

[@TheRCBiker]

Good upgrade :)

[@stephenthompson9722]

I flogged the motor on this. Plastic melted so upgraded to an LRP brand. Had to update all the diff gears to hardened steel haha. Replaced all electronics. Don't get me wrong I love this car but I'd go for the Losi 8 if I was going to buy another one.

[@TheRCBiker]

You can't really compare the two, Losi 8ight is totally different league and 3 times the price, the Trophy is an RTR car :)

[@stephenthompson9722]

@@TheRCBiker yeah I know haha but the money I've spent on my trophy truggy is more than the Losi haha. I wonder if my upgraded trophy truggy would compare to the Losi 8

[@johncardwell3119]

I've had to change all my diffs to the hardened steel ones since I put my LRP 30 spec 2 engine in all savox servos it's a beast now great videos keep them up

[@lardman8817]

I see your at creekmoor clay pits wiped my ftx vantage out there in lockdown

[@TheRCBiker]

it's a good area, not sure I'd go back though as it was very busy when I went. Can't imagine it was very busy during lockdown though!

[@nitrorcmaff468]

I love the thumbnail and the car nice video keep it up😃😄

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks 😁

[@smitzilla]

Great video. I’m thinking about getting this truggy, but are parts hard to come by?

[@TheRCBiker]

No not too bad for this one :) You'll always find the parts, just sometimes you have to back order them and they take a while to arrive

[@dankollectz9456]

I've had one since probably 2015 ish never had a thing break on it and I've done some crazy stuff with it. Only had to replace the controller twice because I lost them while moving etc haha

[@tombrewer2217]

Which would you reccomend out of this or the hobao ss truggy mate?

[@dimag5399]

Where the heck can I buy this model? I'm trying to find a place that ships it worldwide.

[@TheRCBiker]

I'm sure Wheelspinmodels ship it worldwide :)

[@brettbreuel6170]

sounds crisp at times

[@MrMarkas3]

Is the car nose heavy? I don't want to buy one that is

[@vivos71]

If you had to pick between this and the Hyper SST for performance, which would you lean towards?

[@TheRCBiker]

Probably this one, I prefer the engine

[@phoenixschofield]

Hidden Vally in Corfe Mullen that!

[@gazbro4383]

Hi mate I’m looking at getting one of these , Iv had two savage 4.6’s and a 3.0 mt2 so quite like hpi , also had the buggy version of the pluses years baxk , would you reccomend buying this now in tbis day and age and what are the parts like to get for it etc ? Anything to look out for that you’ve found ?

[@TheRCBiker]

yeah it's a good car, an old model but still very current. Good parts availability providing HPI stay in business :)

[@LawrenceTimme]

Great first bash. Suspension needs a bit of tuning, but other than that it's good

[@brandonkoval3906]

How would tune this suspension?

[@LawrenceTimme]

@@brandonkoval3906 different oil.

[@TheRCBiker]

yes I will have a play around with it

[@darrensmith9606]

Hi I've watched you hobao truggy mac 28 and the hpi trophy truggy, but im torn on whitch one to get 🤣🤣 any suggestions

[@TheRCBiker]

Tough choice... I'd go for the HPI as I prefer the Force engines over the Mach

[@darrensmith9606]

@@TheRCBiker brilliant thank you, luckily enough that's what I've chosen 😀 just got to wait for it to be delivered as my local model shop has none in stock 😭😭
