HPI Coyote DB

Looks like a desert buggy version of the mini trophy. HPI sure is revealing a ton of stuff today. Love it.

I just wish they would make stuff is a race size. The Mini Trophy is small and the new 4wd they are doing is 1/8 scale. The buggy looks pretty badass tho. I wonder if i could get away with racing it with the 4wd buggies? LOL

I agree with you on size. If they would make a 1/10th scale 4x4 platform for a sc truck and buggy, they would sell like crazy. It's what everyone is screaming for. I was really hoping the apache's were going to be 1/10th scale when i first seen the sneak peak pics.. but i was disappointed. Its an awesome platform, but 1/8th scale is too expensive for me.

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that a 1/10th scale 4x4 platform is in the works. Hopefully it will be revealed soon.

they dont really make products for certain classes. more of a basher company but not even close to traxxas style because HPI stuff works great lol

Anybody have any other info? (release date, kit or RTR, upgrades from Trophy Truck, etc..)

Heh.. All the extra little holes in the Mini-Tropy's cage already gave away that there would be a DB body-set coming. I only wonder why it took so long.

I know I am going to order the body-set, no doubt there. The Trophy is a great basher-platform. Even with a 5.5t I could not break it (and that's telling, 'b cause I have a certain talent in finding solid objects to use as brakes AFA RC's go )

Wrenching on it is not really fun though.

Oh, and size? It's bigger then the Tami "desert trucks" on the TA-01 chassis, yet the width is the same. Not so small, considering what we think of as 1/10 SC is closer to 1/9 or 1/8 even.

I'll have to admit that I am really stoked at this whole "Scale-Vibe" that's going on. Now for some classic Mint or Baja-1000 buggies, and I am a happy man.....
