Default Wheely King rumors

Well I just ran across a post on another site which someone claims that HPI Japan has released a ARTR version minus the electronics. I wounder if this is also the 4 Wheel drive version. Either way this version is rumored to be 100.00 cheaper then the RTR version.

I tried some searching on the HPI site but could not find anything to prove this rumor. So if anyone else has more info on this rumor then please let us know.

RTR means that everything needed to run the truck is included which means you get a radio system etc with the truck. ARTR is almost ready to run which means you have to supply your own electronics.

Oh sorry about the spelling of rumor. One thing I did not pay attention to was english when I was in school but that was over 20 years ago.

I am not sure about your ARTR rumor but I found this on the HPI site under cool sightings:

I thought it was Ralph but it escaped my mind. So can anyone confirm the rumor or not?

Well it is not a rumor. It is available on the Japan side as part number 10827. http://www.hpiracing.co.jp/index2.html

I tired typing the part number in on the USA side and it came up zero. Too bad that we do not get the same offerings on this side of the big water as they get on that side of the big water.


In Europe they are offering up a packaged conversion kit for 4wd.http://www.hpieurope.com/piw.php?lang=en&partNo=87602

I tired inputing the part numbe for the packaged conversion kit into the US side and it come up 0.
