Start of Assembly

It was a wicked birthday this year because my brother got me an HPI Hellfire SS Truggy Kit. I had a choice between the Mugen MBX5T ProSpec and the Hellfire SS but I am glad I chose the Hellfire because once again HPI put a lot of thought into making this kit so the quality of workmanship and fit is top notch. The tires came pre-glued so that saves me some time and the body is clear so I can paint it to my liking. Here’s a few pics of the box.

The contents of the box was very nicely packed all the bags were labeled Bag A, B, C and so on for ease of assembly.

Here is a closeup of the diffs being assembled. I put stock 7000wt oil in both front and rear diffs but will probably go to thicker oil once I start tuning to my style of racing.

On the first night of assembly I finally went to sleep at 2:30am after assembling most of the front end minus the shocks.So far I am very pleased with the workmanship and fit of all the parts in this kit and will have updates as the kit gets assembled.
