The king of all teases was the HPI Savage Octane. The tasing lasted 4 years from 2010 to 2014 lol.

Damn that's even worse than the HPI Venture that was teased for about 2 years! LOL I'm not shocked HPI is or is on the brink of bankruptcy. I'm shocked they survived this long!

HPI is under new ownership (again)...

Traxxas seems to prefer the "organic" method: Let hobbyshop workers see the pre-order and then they'll leak it to their Facebook groups with pics.

I did see that announcement. I forgot about it, but I did see it. Haven't seen a single peep about it since so it's already looking like the same story repeated. LOL

Probably because only about five people are still checking in on HPI at this point .

Some people might still be checking for the revised Savage Flux with 17mm wheel nuts!

I have a few educated guesses based on the dozen or so parts that now pop up when you search Capra on Tower's site:

- 2 of the bearings listed are 7x14x3.5mm and 5x14x5mm, these are the internal bearing sizes of the AR44s so I expect AR44 gears inside the new axles.

- Another bearing listed is 15x21x4mm, this is a rare bearing size for Axial vehicles but is used by the tail shaft on the Wraith dig unit which points to the new truck being dig equipped over 2 speed capable.

I knew it was dig.

Will the SCX10 iii be built in the new factory with the same axle housing and no portals?

That is some quality investigating and I like Rich's not confirmation.

[Sneetches]

15x21x4mm was used in the Yeti XL steering knuckles as well. Yeti XL 2-speed included in the Capra kit confirmed.

2 speed with dig and portals on Yeti XL IFS confirmed by Sneetches.

Half-life?

[TRX4ME]

According to Big Squid, official announcement is on Thursday...

[odomandr]

Yeah axial has said all along they would announce details on it on the 12th

[LSXGMC]

Sweet. Just sold a few rigs, so maybe Axial will finally take my money again.

[MaX-D]

I've never been a big fan of the buggy type vehicles, but with a dig and portals, I could be persuaded
