Has anyone else had probs with the 4.6 motor in the Hellfire besides John? Maybe people are talking on truggyracers?
Just sucks that after a half gallon it grenaded a bearing and tore the whole motor up.
Mich, how much gas have you put through yours so far?

I called up HPI. Mine is on it's way back to them for replacement. They were super nice on the phone. Excellent customer service IMO.
The hellfire is the HO version, which I guess its different than the one they put in the savage. Or so I hear.

I read on truggyracers of 3 others with the same problems

well if the engine only lasts a half gallon for everyone and with the way i drive i should be able to get a quart through it.

Dont know about the HP version, but my K4.6 is very reliable at a gallon+ so far.

What's happening to the motors if you dont mind me asking ?
Hpi .28 - Michowski - 02-08-2006
rear bearings letting go.

Bummer...will they warranty it?
Hpi .28 - Mr. Tune - 02-08-2006
Yes, they'll warranty it. Rear bearings shouldn't blow out that fast.
