Two Shiny Bullets: Updated Nitro R/C Machines from HPI
By: Tim Gluth
HPI has revamped two of their nitro-powered, ready-to-run (RTR) vehicles, the Bullet MT 3.0 monster truck and Bullet ST 3.0 stadium truck with a new look. Under their new skins, both of these machines are packed with power from a G3.0 engine that features a pullstart and slide carburetor.
Both vehicles feature dual shock setups, allowing this vehicle to take a beating on any type of terrain and still float over obstacles with ease. Speaking of ease, both of these nitro-powered trucks use bearings vs bushings, ensuring the truck will have a smooth, steady roll and not encounter excessive slowing due to friction.
