Well I'm English and I would expect it to be a joke,we rarely take anything seriously. Unfortunately these litigious days you just never know. Glad to hear the Canucks haven't lost theirs....toodle pip.

In my humble opinion, you are by far the best to watch in the industry. You are brutally honest and call a spade a spade. You also represent the average joe and don’t go crazy with aftermarket parts because you’re a highly paid youtuber. You also do 100% of your own builds unlike some other channels that I won’t mention. Keep up the awesome work. Great to see you back.

Ive been a fan of hpi kits for years they allways include a few nice hop up parts that arent featured with the ready to run trucks and being able to spec your own electronics and body is just half of the fun. Its been a long time since ive put a kit together and this one looks awesome.

I really like your comment about appreciating the thought that goes into a design, apparent when you take the time to put a rig together with your own two hands. With a strong exposure to engineering myself, I quietly give the the thumbs up to the team at, for example Axial, when I see an elegant design solution, rather than just bashing the company for say, plastic this and that, over which the designer has no control.

Bag F was the real highlight for me! It was the star and really stole the show.

Just pre ordered this kit. Looking forward to this project!!

The kit seems to be 100 times better then the rtr... I give mine sooo much mods but now i am happy with it...the stock links are very poor on the rtr as an example. It's a little shame that the kit has the same steering angle thats al negatives i find on the kit..but vey good and very interesting Video. Thanks for sharing

Compare this kit with the Axial scx10 kit please. Thinks for the video, very cool.

Hey Chris, I know it's been some time since you review ed the hpi sbk, and they went under and all but I was really wanting to see the completed truck. Did you ever finish it?

I was really looking forward to getting one of these kits, but then the delay.. Traxxas and Axial came out with theirs and for less cost.. but it wasn't what I really wanted. So I waited........ now I see that the price has dropped! Now for me it seems like a no brainer which to get. Pre Order it goes. Now to just compete with all the others that will see this vid, because once someone in the know does a review they quickly come off the shelves.

Nice review! Hey man do you know of any chassis that has a 270mm wheelbase. I was hoping this would but it's a bit too long.

HPI is one of the best when it comes to kits, the fit and finish, manual, their Shocks from 1/10 touring to crawler, an HPI will be top notch. I agree you dont get a sense of what goes into a RC with an RTR, and until you build a quality kit, Xray, TLR, AE, HPI, Tekno, etc you really don't get a sense of what goes into making and building these kits, and how much technology really goes into them

Thanks for the reply Chris. I finally got it. I have no vice and my other options ,C clamps are in my storage unit.

Legit been trying to push down on the spring to get that screw in for a afternoon. Can not wait to see this truck built, its my first kit.

Why don't kits come with stainless links instead of aluminum? I was able to get like 30' of tube for like $20 to make my own links for all of my Axial trucks. Still have enough to do like 20 more sets. Yeah, they're heavy links but they won't bend or grind down like aluminum.
