Pre-assembled 1/10 Scale 4WD Monster Truck with Flux System Painted Body
Check out the HPI Bullet MT Flux, the ready-to-run electric monster truck that's perfect for off-road bashers and RC enthusiasts! This is a 1/10th scale monster truck fitted with a powerful 4WD drivetrain and monstrously powerful HPI Flux brushless motor technology, so it can blast through all sorts of terrain and absolutely fly over obstacles!The Bullet MT Flux is just one member of a family of HPI vehicles which are based around a durable 4WD shaft drivetrain, 2 shocks per wheel and double-deck aluminium chassis. The Bullet off-road trucks feature either silent Flux brushless motor systems or Nitro Star 3.0 engines, and are available in different off-road truck varieties. In short, you can get the precise flavour of off-road performance you want with the HPI Bullet range!Chassis The Bullet trucks use a 3mm aluminium plate-style chassis as the backbone, providing an extremely tough foundation for the suspension and drivetrain. The aluminium used in the chassis is the very strong 6061 alloy, which is the same aluminium available in top-spec radio-controlled vehicles, making it the ideal material for something like the Bullet! For extra stiffness, the sides of the chassis are upturned and the aluminium radio plate also acts as an extra stiffening support.DrivetrainThe drivetrain used in all Bullet trucks is a full-time four-wheel drive shaft-type drivetrain, just like the one used in 1/8th scale buggies such as the World Champion D8 buggy. A shaft drivetrain is the best option for a kit that's expected to encounter every possible driving condition and track surface, so whether you're blasting through mud, water, dirt, grass, snow or gravel, this is exactly what you what you want!A strong plastic spur gear takes the power from the engine and transmits it front and rear through an adjustable dual pad slipper clutch. A dual pad slipper provides more protection to the drivetrain than a standard single pad design, and we've included it as standard to make sure you get the best out of the Bullet.The centre dogbones drive the front and rear bevel differentials, which use 4 internal gears for increased durability and lifetime over standard 2-gear diffs. The diff outdrives turn tough steel outdrives and axles, and 14mm hex adapters spin the cool styled wheels wrapped with unique all-terrain rubber tyres.Braking power is provided by the HPI Flux brushless motor, giving just as much stopping strength as the steel disc brake supplied on nitro versions of the Bullet! Just push the controller trigger forward for immense brakes and the ability to stop whenever you want!For extra efficiency, all the components of the drivetrain, from the spur gear to the wheel axles, spin on rubber-sealed ball bearings. With these bearings you get long runtimes and long engine life while the rubber seals keep out dust and grime!Flux Shot Motor and Flux Reload SpeedoThe HPI Flux system installed in the Bullet Flux kits features the same mind-bending brushless technology that makes the Savage Flux HP and Vorza Flux HP kits so absolutely insane - truly awesome power packed into a compact and tidy package!The Flux Shot motor features modern brushless inner workings wrapped with a cool black-anodized heatsink case, while the Flux Reload speedo features bullet connectors for the motor, Dean's plug battery connector and even a cooling fan right on top to keep things ice-cold!The Bullet can handle up to 7 NiMH cells or 2S LiPo batteries to give the truck insance speeds and acceleration! Go on, give it a try - you know you want to!Suspension and SteeringThe Bullet MT Flux uses a tough suspension design derived from larger racing trucks, but with a few extra bits for increased durability! Long suspension arms are damped by 2 oil-filled shock absorbers each, and tough front and rear bumpers combined with skid plates protect both ends of the truck in just about e
