7075 4mm chassis right out of the box is nice. Great unboxing Vas. That is a sharp looking truggy. I like the look of the body, very unique.

Hi vas excellent choice finally I requested this review long back when I was trying to draw your attention to some top line HPI products though they no more compete as before, lovely to see you coming up with various other brands rather than Arrma. Thank you

Hey man. The NitroGang is here! Thanks for the shoutout.. I've watch this channel for a long time, and I know we have some common enemies.

Awesome videos mate 👌 👍

HeyVas great look over the truggy. And I can’t wait to see you run it. You always put your cars threw the paces a bit more then I do so if it handles your bashing it will handle my bashing. I like the look of this Vorza truggy that green is nice. My worries re the shocks drooping like they do and no droop screws. I’d love to get this on a track and see how it drives. 🤝🇨🇦. I will eventually get one unless it’s a total fail

Once again another great review, maybe do a comparison between this and the Vorza buggy to see what has been changed and what parts are still the same ? :)

IMO the TF41 was always one the best RTR remotes, but as you said, it had seen better days. I'm glad to see HPI went with their own design with some great additional features.

It's WAY OVERPRICED! 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾

Beautiful car, nice unboxing clear video. Interesting car, I want see it in action and run!! Thanks for sharing video 😀

Very good review and I do share the same concerns.

I've been a fan of hpi for years and I'm glad to see them coming back. I have the original Vorza and several others that I'd think would be considered classics.all have the old remote, I got along with it but I like that they finally came up with a new style. Hopefully they'll put those in the new Savage X lineup !

I'm really eager to see how this holds up at Altona I hoping it holds up and performs well!

The ride height is an issue for me. No droop screws is weird also. But overall I Love the truggy. The radio is very nice. Great video. Thanks

Just bought one of these today , glad to see Hpi have dropped the prices on their rc's.... i paid under 800 .... cant wait to get it !!

So many negative comments from so many people who haven't even seen the car in person. This car is essentially an e converted Hot Bodies D8T. I've had an e converted D8T since 2019 I bash with it on a regular basis and very seldom do I break things. I'm happy that this came out because I can finally replace the stock chassis the previous owner hacked up trying to do the E conversion. Also the diffs in this thing make the Arrma diffs look pathetic in comparison. My concerns are it should have used the same composite as Hot Bodies for the a arms, they should have included droop screws, the shock towers should be 5mm and the rear chassis brace should have been the one from the D8T and not the Vorza buggy.....

I'll tell you Vas you really are one of a kind with the videos and info you provide and we're lucky to have you and that's the truth. It will be a sad day if you ever decide to stop doing them. I'd really like to get alot of guys on the forums and on here to all contact and reach out to Arrma and speak our mind and tell them what we think about you not getting arrmas anymore and how many trucks you've sold that company! Me included! I remember watching your kraton (v2??) VS 6s outcast V1 comparison as I believe I watched that video 10 times before I went with the 6s kraton (first 6s truck) and I'm like at 7 arrmas later from that! I remember being blown away opening it and being in Awe of how big it was in person and what a beast with all the metal components!! I felt like I finally arrived in the hobby after having a few 3s-4s trucks (granite 3s, cheetah and Maximus) I just feel it makes perfect business sense to both parties and shouldn't let a disagreement/ back and forth were I'm sure both you guys would do certain things over again but in the end shouldn't let that come between a pretty great relationship/business deal for that worked great for both parties. I'm gonna try to reach out to them and say pretty much the same thing to them and how alot of us Arrma fans don't appreciate you not being supported for someone who has done so much for them and brought so many of us to love their brand. Your videos help sell their products and also helps us, their customer base. I just want to let you know how valuable and appreciated you our to our hobby Vas!! 💪🏼💪🏼🍻🍻🙏🏻

Great unboxing video ,thanks . I see your concerns about some of the build and agree ,I suspect a banana frame is on the cards especially at the back . Do shock extension clips still exist ? ( fit between spring and adjuster nut ) might help but at this price point shouldn’t be required. That said it’s a nice looking car and I hope it performs well.

Longer front shocks ? 😲 that is a good looking car.. Great review

sup man nice rig.

If I bought an HPI and spent HPI kind kind of money. I'd be mad if I opened the box, looked at my shocks and started wondering what I can swap them out for. Everyone who buys a high powered car with a deans connector should all mail their deans connector back to the manufacturer.

Beautiful design. Regarding the suspension though, I wonder how much travel the arms have when you rise the ride height. It looks like there is not much down travel left. About the front body pins, maybe you can bend them a little so that you can grab it more easy.

I think the cut out in the chassis brace is for easier motor removal, so you can slide it out once the clamps are loosened only. I really like this truggy though and been getting bored of the Talion lately..

Wow rookie move on the shock length and droop

Orange for the nitrogang!

the sledge has had such a hard time with the motor mount in the same fashion.

Nice looking car Vas and another brilliant review. Very fair too as your wish list is spot on. I'm probably spoilt by running a few Arrma RC's but I feel that motor mount is going to shred pinions and spurs. Would have loved to see the 1 piece slider with the centre diff and motor all in one mounting. One of the biggest complaints on the T brand Sledge was the mount shifting slightly and shredding gears. Annoying. Dear God, not Deans connectors.. it's 2022!! 😩 Thing is if you changed the connectors yourself you void the warranty on the ESC is that correct? The droop on the suspension is a worry, it's like you've lost 20mm of useful travel just because of the wrong springs/shocks being used. Just doesn't look right, As a basher.. As a race truggy and with all the other stuff like braces and shock towers not being as burly as say a Krayton.. I think it's setup more for racing. in that case all bets are off and it may well be a lovely racer. I'm hopeful it's a great car and it well could be, I really hope so. For similar $$ there's some very solid proven performers in the market right now.

Hpi bullet Build a lovely looking car for once its a shame about the shocks and body clips to low in the body. Can it go faster like it says on the box 65mph or not. But part from that it looking good great video once again mate 👍👌

Ive got the same suspension problem with the buggy I just brought. The arse end is significantly lower then the front end.

It's not a basher , it is a race truck .

The natural slope forward on that rtr suggests there is something wrong with front ride height. I'll stick with the talion thanks

I suppose that the first upgrade that should be made - longer shoks. That's cheap, and that's good. But all the way, really interesting car. Hope would be durable

HPI must have used a different plastic for those a arms than Hot Bodies did with the D8T as the D8T a arms do not flex like that. It's the same rear chassis brace from the Vorza buggy, that notch is for the motor mount. And the wing mount is stronger than the Arrma one.

What’s happening with the chassis brace is it’s carryover from the buggy version. That cutout looking bit is so that it clears the motor mount.

Whats more durable out of the box. This Vorza S flux or the HPI Savage x XL Flux V2 ? Or any of the kraton 6s im torn between them.

As far as the spring in the radio, i pulled my slt3 radio for my v5 notorious apart and replaced the spring with a stronger spring wich now is a much nicer feel with the steering. Hpi is one of my favorite rc brands and it is nice to see that they have came out with this 6s platform, body shell looks good, i had a look at the new vorza range and i honestly think that hpi has overpriced the 6s range. $995 - $1185 for the car in this video is very expensive from the 4s hpi trophy truggy flux brushless rc at around $700 - $750. I also noticed that the standard version has a lot of composite parts wich compared to the trophy truggy flux brushless has a lot of alloy in wich i think that Hpi should have stuck with the same alloy parts out of the box. Droop screws are a must, seems that Hpi is cost cutting wich to me is very disappointing for the price. On this one i hope that they bring out a v2 version of the 6s vorza range with alloy parts on all of the range and takes note of your opinion. Nice detailed review Vas, i would like to see a review of the cheaper version with composite parts. Nice work bud

i want one of these so bad but its hard to find any in the usa even online

Not gonna lie, car looks good overall, but kinda fragile if you ask me.

Wonder if the motor mount is going to shift when it tumbles or crashes, I know the Sledge suffers from this. Also want to see how the tabs under the screws hold up. Razor RC had his bend on the Sledge. C'mon HPI, Deans on a 6S? That price also, that is super expensive. I would expect better parts for that price.

Wounder if the new body will fit the trophy truggy flux would like the red one

This cost a grand US holy smokes 😳😱 That's outrageous. It's a awesome Truggy but WoW it's insanely over priced IMO Cool vid 🔥👍✌️

is the droop screw thing fixed or is there a fix?

Hmm can we find out if the hpi trophy parts fit this....the arms look the same and the original votza parts fir the trophy buggy, would be nice if these parts fit the trophy truggy too....

Couldn’t quite tell, but if your toe blocks are plastic, contact your HPI distributor and they’ll send you the 7075 aluminum ones. There have been a few Vorza S missbuilds.

😃 hey I just recall my first HPI vorza had a lot to adjust shock towers leaking oil, dog bones snapping sometimes, you need to check the radio safe failure otherwise it will cause a serious issue, they don’t come up with this by default I had to do it manually, the car never goes straight unless you adjust each tire balance separately, and finally the metal gear catches lots of dust and is unprotected and I got mine snapping due to rust despite of the fact that I never drove over water but humid weather would cause this especially here in UAE, and that ESC is a good one and was perfect up to 4S, drive experience is awesome with great speed makes a big smile on your face. It’s been 7 years since I sold my old vorza.

Well since you gave a shoutout to the Nitrogang, I’m going to say hello back to you. What’s up Vas? Any chance we will see the orange nitro version?

they should have released it with the savage cause they have same wheel desing

Looks nice but looks pretty weak overall and WAY too overpriced 😮traxxas sledge is only 775$ here in the US,and it’s built much tougher in my opinion… but thanks for the review as always 👍🏻

Here in Spain it costs €800, practically the same as a Sledge €820, somewhat more expensive than the Talion EXB which is €750 and much more expensive than the Kraton V5 €650 or the Kronos €580. It seems to me a very high price for the quality it offers in principle. We'll see if it's good when you try it. A greeting from Spain

Not a fan of that type of motor mount, you only have to look at the problems you can get with the Sledge with this type mount. Where the mount can shift & mess gears up & also where the 4 mounting screws are recessed into the under side of the chassis. Chassis is so thin where these screws are recessed in, the chassis can distort in this area with hard hits & motor mount moves. They should also have gone with a tower to tower brace, even though they have a 7075 chassis i think that will bend with harder hits.

Essentially a rtr version of the original hot bodies d8t

Kinda unusual speed advertisement on the box.

It's Race RTR. Most of the car is the D8T which is a competition Truggy. The suspension setup is very race orientated, same as Tessmanns D8T. It's comparable in every way to the Vorza HP buggy which was also a D8 Race RTR. If you try and do massive hard landings you'll kill it very quickly. It's clearly not what it was designed for.

Have to be honest I like it overall but 2 things worry me wing Mount and front 3 mill shaft but we will see also that motor mount looks a lot like Traxxas sledge failed mount pulled on chassis and cause problem with gears

why does everyone hate on deans???? i havent personally ever had a problem even on a single 6s deans plug, am i just not pulling enough current to make it noticable

Nice car but... its always something we would made different. I just bought a used HPI Trophy 4.6 Truggy for about 550 AUD (started but never driven), and another used "spare parts car" for 375 AUD. I like the HPI Trophy Truggy and Buggy cars, even if they are 10+ years old. Easy to work on, can take some bashing and still spare parts available.

$1150!! Jesus Christ that is a LOT of money and it's DEFINITELY not worth it. I thought it'd be more like £400 tops in my eyes. I recon I've got 4-5 electric's (which I've built and never used) and 1 nitro which is a Savage X 4.6 and I absolutely LOVE it! What I do with my body pin's is stick a small cable tie through so it's really easy to pull off and yes. I know it doesn't look very stream lined. But I'm more about the practicality side of things than the looks. As I class it more of a tool, that anything else. Even though it's a toy

It’s this truck is a scale of 1/8 or 1/10?

I’m hoping the vorza buggy makes a come back because I need parts for it. But the overall quality of these new rc from hpi hasn’t be great

I'm from the Caribbean team corally is the cheaper option for me the muraco is $479.99 USD right now I'm not gonna lie the vorza is beautiful but having to make so much adjustments out of the box I rather the Team Corally

That thing is an armed robbery. $200+ more expensive that the red one and it offers just a few extra and minor details! Overall both versions are insanely overpriced and come with nothing special. The transmitter... Looks awfully cheap for the price , chunky and ugly, doesn't even has the steering wheel at an angle, but you can swap it to the other side I give them that as a cool feature. After plenty of reviews, videos and closer looks at the couple of Vorzas they got at my local hobby shop, I preordered a Kyosho MP10Te, designed by Yuichi Kanai himself and made in Tokyo, Japan. That's actual quality at reasobable price. Thanks for the video, sir, good review and info on the model.

I’m pulling for HPI but man it looks fragile!

Holy makaroni! I just checked the prices in the above links. Excuse me, what do they think they are selling? Τhere is nothing groundbreaking about this car. it's another one in the millions of truggy that is essentially a copy! (Google translate, sorry for that)

Those cost $1656 here in New Zealand 🇳🇿, I'd rather buy an Arrma outcast, notorious, kraton or talion. And save a little bit of money. It definitely looks decent though, but for the price no! I'm going arrma

Arrma kraton v2,all day

How much is this truggy?

It come with missing 7075 parts like hpi you need to pull your selfs together

What is HPI thinking there is no skid protectors or body pin savers on the body WTH ??? They need to catch up with the other RC companies !!!!

The sledge motor kind of design for the mesh. Not for me

If you would have liked the car to sit higher then that would defeat the purpose of the damn build.

It's hit and miss with every brand it seems, I was told HPI is great for the track if you don't do serious bashing. I had it out 4 times at a dirt track and started to have issues with the servo, next run the ESC started to over heat. I get a new servo and ESC installed then two runs later the transmitter goes out, tried 3 sets of batteries and it won't do anything. I sold it the next week and was upfront about the issues I had.

Lol, my local hobby shop don't even stock anything HPI any More. It's not worth it!

The old radio looked better lol

Looks like a budget car but at an Arrma price 😬

Get some heavier springs

For the money, I rather get me a Traxxas XMAX 1/5 scale, built like a tank and still a few bucks to spare

A lot of you rc reviewers need to understand not everything is made for bashing.

I don't believe that there is enough there to justify the price at all the hpi bage is not it I can get a full race kit for that price from kyosho or losi epic fail do to price point

An old losi 8e 2.0 is still a better rig, but I do like the way this rig seems to drive. It seems well balanced. But its just another truggified buggy. Seems to be the dominant design for basher at the moment.

Hey first

Unfortunately this is a 500 dollar car that’s boosted to 800

My car flew with the deans plugs. But omg when i changed to Castle 200 amp plug, jesus, i got 20% more power i think. Deans only allow 50amps only ok for tiny 2s.
