Its a E-Havoc, wow they have beat DT to it  :o
4wd too, looks very tasty indeed. Not sure about the exposed drive belt, although I know this is a concept model. Its nice to see Schumacher getting in on the Brushless market quite early though.

Now, just used NORMAL screws with it Schumacher. NOT those darn annoying Torx crap

Probs made in the same factory, or.................................

HPI will sell at an over inflated price the Torx driver needed to service these part of the engine >:(

Yeah the next one will come with those triangle screws like in the mcdonalds toys :biggrin:

TBH, they've slightly changed a few things... voila HPI Baja 5B RTR 2.0!

What's wrong with Torx?

Torx or Hex I am not to bothered to be honest. I prefer hex probably but still a bolt is a bolt.

I doubt anyone will be surprised but...

Wow...I don't know if I should be impressed or annoyed! lol. Certainly looks very interesting indeed, though I'm not so sure about the use of a belt on a monster truck; those front tyres carry a lot of momentum, so I just get the feeling that snapped belts could be frequent after a jump, for example. The motor's also quite high, and looks to be designed for only 4S...hmmm.

Sorry, I'm just being critical lol. As a concept it looks good, and a 4WD Havoc is always going to be fun! >:D I'd LOVE to see some better pics, though. And for the record, I love Torx. :)

EDIt: Ok, maybe not snapped belts; Glypo's helped me to realise that these belts are Kevlar-enforced, so they won't snap lol. Possibly skip, though, IMO.
