it tells me that the hellfire rocks and they will sell more at that price so they will end up making more profit, and this summer will be called "Hell fire 2, return to hell" comming to a track near you...

I have never driven one but by its looks it appears to be a good truck as far as design and layout. I have never seen anyone fast run one, there were 2 guys at my lhs that had the rtr version and they broke parts, stripped out diff gears, and lost cvd pins.
If anyone knows why this is such a crappy truck I honestly would like to know. For that price I'm thinkin about buying one just to see for myself.


Help Me out here Rocco.

I think they rushed the hellfire into production which caused its initial problrems with breakage and pre mature wear. Then there was a shortage of replacement parts, and finally it took forever to get out the tuner parts i.e. springs,sways,ect...

I dont think its a bad truck i just think it was cursed from the start

ok...i had a hellfire when i first started racing, the chassis is too rigid, parts quality sucked, I had about everything done to it that would help and still no better, the geometry in the front end just makes it push like a dump truck going into corners, reguardless of diff set up or type of track, after watching me drive one day sonny says...."why you brake sliding the rear around every corner"? cause that is the only way it would turn.... LOL needless to say that thing got dropped like a bad habit. LOL just my .02 tho

You can pick up a LSP-R for $270 at Ultimate hobbies.com. Even comes with a pipe!

I'd rather have a LSP-R over a HF SS with that price range.

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
