HPI's are pretty nice, I have one. Mine rips, I have a Paradox stock with a 28t pinion, does about 25mph. If you do decide on that car, do not over tighten the rear tensioner for the belt, if you do it will shred up your layshaft pulley. Replaced mine with a Robinson Racing Prod. aluminum one.

i am going with the hpi on this one since there seem to be so many more upgrades out there for them. losi seems to have fallen off the planet since getting bought out.

The hpi I thnk is cool but a better one I think is the Losi Rally Weapon. The body isn't that cool but the thing is biult nice. The hpi has to run an extra body underneath which heats it up while the Losi's transmission is completely sealed. I believe it can take the dirt much better and feels right at home on the street since it just has longer shocks and taller shock towers than it's brother, the Street Weapon. Good luck and have fun with whatever you choose.

The Yokomo Rally car is the best. At HPI challenge races this car beats the RS4 rally. Its kinda sad that the Yokomo MR4 rally wins so many races at HPI challenge... You would think that the RS4 would win. Having an inner body is very good. The car shouldnt have much more than a some dirt in the car, while the Losi Rally Weapon is a peice o' poo cause it only accepts saddle battery packs.

if you do get a 8 turn , your run times would be nothing but 3mins and even if you did buy a motor like that buy alot of tires , the rally likes to eat tires lots of them i'm on my thrid set.
