Got my HPI Wheely King!
Well I got it today, was delivered to work at about 11pm. That wasn’t bad considering I ordered it 9am the previous day and paid nothing for the shipping!
Big thanks to: http://www.modelsport.co.uk/
It’s am impressive truck for the money (135GBP all in), very well designed and built, very neat electrics with a full ESC (electronic speed controller) that has a brake function for changing from forward to reverse (a neat trick I thought!).
My only reservations are the radio controller bundled with it is a wheel and trigger type and because I’m old fashioned I prefer the 2-stick type. I was delighted when I discovered that swapping the crystal into my Acoms 2-stick radio transmitter worked a charm, it works fine with HPI’s radio receiver and ESC.
Pictures to follow, along with more progress on the planned mods.
