The new RTR Hellfire 1/8th scale nitro truck from HPI Racing is designed from scratch for maximum performance in all conditions – No Compromises! The Hellfire is not a converted buggy or tuned-up monster truck. It’s purpose-built to be faster and deliver better handling than any other competitive truck. A high level of attention to detail is paid in every area. HPI designers strove to increase performance, reduce maintenance and simplify chassis adjustments. The result is a new definition of the ready-to-run competition monster truck.

Optimum Agility and Handling
The Hellfire features all-new suspension and steering geometry specifically designed for optimum performance. Where most manufacturers take a buggy and convert it to a truck, the Hellfire was designed from a clean sheet of paper. Long suspension arms pivot close to the centerline of the chassis for smooth suspension movement over bumps. The suspension hubs are pushed out into the wheels for more steering than the competition. The internal drive ratio is optimized for race .21 and .28 engines with monster truck tires, delivering more efficiency and a lower center of gravity than a typical truggy design. A very low center of gravity gives quick response in the corners and stability over jumps.

Powerful and Fast
The Hellfire comes equipped with the powerful new Nitro Star K4.6 HO (High Output) Big Block engine that is optimized for single speed transmissions; it has a wide power band and linear throttle response to help deliver consistent lap times. A true “Big Block” at 4.6cc’s, the K4.6 HO engine has the power needed to win…right out of the box. The K4.6 HO breathes through a high-flow dual stage air filter, and a hard anodized aluminum tube header and tuned pipe. The drivetrain features silicone filled front and rear 4-gear differentials and a center differential with a steel spur gear for durability. Adjustable front and rear disc brakes are standard equipment. And the Hellfire is lightweight for a monster truck, so it accelerates and decelerates quickly on the racetrack, giving it an advantage over heavier trucks.

Fully Adjustable
The Hellfire offers a wide range of tuning adjustments so that you can fine tune the truck to driving conditions and personal driving styles. All important suspension parameters are easily adjustable:

bullet24 possible shock positions available to fine tune your suspension.
bulletFour different shock pistons are included for a wide range of tuning options.
bulletFront inboard toe angle adjustments: 0 degrees to -2 degrees.
bulletRear inboard toe angle adjustments: 2 degrees to 4 degrees.
bulletAdjustable front and rear camber using strong steel turnbuckles.
bulletThe camber can be fine tuned to suit your track conditions.
bulletAdjustable steering geometry.
bulletSpring clips are included to fine tune your ride height.
bulletAnti-dive adjustments: 0 degrees to 2 degrees in 0.5 degree increments.
bulletAnti-squat adjustments: 1.5 degrees to 3.5 degrees in 0.5 degree increments.
bulletFront kick-up angle: adjustable from 21 to 25 degrees.
bulletDifferent compression and rebound can be achieved with tapered shock pistons.
bulletDamping can be fine tuned with different diameter piston holes.
bulletAdjustable brake bias to control entry steering and jumping.
bulletAdjustable front and rear inboard toe with convenient urethane eccentric bushings.

No option parts are necessary to adjust the suspension settings and several configurations are possible with the included parts. Eccentric bushings are used for a convenient adjustment of toe in, kick-up, anti-dive and anti-squat. Hard anodized aluminum shocks with titanium nitride coated shafts are standard equipment, filled with silicone shock oil for smooth and consistent dampening.

 

 

Easy Maintenance
The Hellfire has been designed to allow for easier maintenance with simplified access to all parts. For example, only 6 screws need to be removed to access the front or rear diff without dismantling the main chassis or suspension. High quality hex hardware is used throughout to reduce the possibility of stripped screws. All major suspension components are retained or captured without the use of E-clips, so maintenance is simplified and parts are held securely in place… no more lost e-clips during building and maintenance.

Ready-To-Run
The Hellfire comes pre-built to precise specifications from the factory, ready to go right out of the box. Careful attention to small details like fuel tube routing, in-tank and inline fuel filters, and knurled adjustment knobs take the term “RTR” to a new height with the Hellfire. The included HPI TF-3 radio system features a high torque steering servo, throttle servo, and a super narrowband AM receiver. The electronics are powered by an included 1100mAh 5 cell rechargeable receiver pack, complete with an AC wall charger. The aero-dish wheels and lightweight Aggressors tires come pre-glued with inner foam. And to top everything off, the body is pre-painted in stunning red/black/silver graphics with the decals applied, trimmed and mounted…exactly as it is shown on the box.

Here are more standard RTR Hellfire features that will make it stand out from the crowd:
