Trophy 3.5 RTR Buggy Rallycross now Waterproof with 2.4GHz Radio!

The HPI Trophy range of off-road racers has been updated with the latest in 2.4GHz radio technology, waterproof servos and a waterproof receiver & battery compartment! That's right: one of our most popular nitro kits ever now has been upgraded to make it a performer just about anywhere!

The Trophy 3.5 buggy is the perfect way to get into nitro 1/8 buggies! Rallycross buggies are one of the biggest racing classes around the world, and it's still growing fast! This kit has got everything you need for anything you want to do. For bashing fun and big-air stunts, it has a durable aluminium chassis, braces and shock towers, and for race track performance and tuning the Trophy is equipped with a powerful race-legal Nitro Star F3.5 V2 (.21 cubic inch) HPI engine, HB Proto design racing tyres, oil-filled shocks, turnbuckles and plenty of tuning adjustment possibilities.

The Nitro Star F3.5 V2 engine provides the grunt needed to get the Trophy 3.5 buggy up to wild speeds - it's loud, it's powerful and it's strong, so you'll be able to rip off huge stunts like record-setting long jumps, backflips, tall jumps, even double backflips! The F3.5 V2 engine is lighter and more energy-efficient than the V1 engine used in the first Trophy buggy, so you'll get even BETTER acceleration and HIGHER top speeds! The engine is started by a simple pull starter system and is protected by a unique water splash cover and 2-stage air filter for extra protection, and the two-needle carburettor allows you to fine-tune the performance for any kind of weather or fuel.
