Yeah I baught a mt10 the back shock was dodgy and the servo died in five days didn’t even do a jump on it or take it far force it round my back yard about 3 times and the servo just fried on me so yeah top truck not

I love those factory wheels! That style wheel looks really sharp on this truck. I like how it almost has kind of a gun metal finish sorta thing. They're different, and I dig it! 👍🏼🔥👌🏼

Nothing wrong with Phillips head screws..Just use the right size Phillips head driver

@@RazorRC integy.com sells aluminum upgrade kit , I also bought rc screwz kit because the self tapping Philips screws strip out in one removal and install. I sold it FAST nothing but headache and parts on order. After all upgrade the body post snapped constantly and tires come off on 3s , the black chrome peels right off

The unimpressed tone in your voice is pretty spot on for this truck.

Hey, someone is at the door! I see mixed reviews about HPI.

wow that kit looks like it hasn't changed since it released a long time ago. thanks for unboxing and showing it off, I would love to pick one of these up. maybe used.

Why would you change something that works almost perfectly since years. Traxxass on the other hand

If they could afford a r and d department they would probably be better by now, but looks quite dated although durable. And yes Phillips screws are cheezy. Serpent spyder Mt2 unboxing would be great...

I only have one question for you, this or the team associated mt10?

Nice to see HPI getting back in the game but Philips screws?! And, please, give us a traditional battery tray. Looking forward to seeing it run, though 👍

This truck was always designed to be nitro with a 2.5cc engine. It was Originally a hot bodies lightning gt10. Really really old. That's why it breaks so much. People think it's a arrma when it a 2000 year old design 😂😂

@RazorRC

Good info, thanks for sharing! Looks like the Lightning came out in the late 2000's.

The Price is way to much. Not good quality. It break very easy. The 3s Arrmas are way better for the same price. All the best from Germany. Nice Video.

100% agree. A big piece of crap. No bashing, just a few little hops and every time something breaks!

Mine has been shelved. It's powerful but it just can't withstand 3S power. Diffs are a crap cast metal, driveshaft pins break, the front hubs crack and all the hub bearings blow quickly by poor design - tightening the wheel nuts can bind the inner races. The battery box is a real PITA. The shocks aren't too bad but they do leak over time - and it's twice the work! Bought mine 3-4 years ago but maybe more changes have been made after HPI's comeback, if this is a re-release

Hopefully they have changed the plastics over the years. This was by far the least durable RC I have ever owned. Looks like they added additional shocks though, I don't remember it having 8 🤔

Weird design, 8 shocks why? And what's up with the L shaped battery tray?

True, if they wouldn't have been so bad with their financials they would still be up there, but since being sold off twice now to some random companies in Europe they just aren't the same anymore. As sad as it is to say this I really wish Horizon would have picked them up instead of Ripmax after they filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Thanks for the vid razor, its even worse than I thought. Seriously Philips hardware on something of this price, that's not even going into what I mentioned on your teaser pic. Yet hpi keeps asking why do we keep going out of business??? I want to see how people defend this crap.

hpi is just JUNK waist of money. was good in the 90's
