HPI's New Crawler King Release.....

[TrilloThrillo110]

Well guys, it looks like the the Crawler King is back.
It looks very similar to the last one but it seems to have fully waterproof electronics, HB Rovers and a '73 Ford Bronco body (Yes, that's right, its not a Jeep ). Looks cool but the price is getting near to the price of a SCX100 Deadbolt sooooo, I hope it has something else up it sleeves. A more scale 1.9 would be nice.....

Few more pics.....







And good to see some proper tires on a RTR.
Although I reckon the body is very similar if not the same as the old Defender or Jeep, just different paint and stickers.

No, that's a Bronco body. That's not the sort of thing you can change with a few stickers. The width and roll cage areas are similar between the three because they were all originally designed to fit the Savage. Beyond that, they are nothing alike.

Ok, I take back the Jeep part after looking at photos, but the Defender, it pretty similar, just with a different hood and has a bumper.... but that's just my 2 cents

All it needs is a set of narrowed emaxx tires and a big brushless setup on 3s and u have a mega truck. I may just pick one up, had the og one way back and it was fun

Hasn't it almost been a year since this thing was first announced?

HPI appears to be dying a slow death...

I wouldn't know but it's just come up on TH so I would've thought that they'd be up yo date. But we're talking about HPI here so it wouldn't be a huge surprise. I only started this thread because I couldn't find one on RCC. And I definitely agree, HPI are seeming die a slow death.
