One of the latest releases from HPI Racing is the Brama 10B RTR 4WD buggy. This 1/10th scale is designed for low maintenance and has a good price for a 1/10th-scale 4WD. Unlike Hot Bodies, which is the racing division for HPI Racing, this car is more for the novice or sportsman as an entry-level 4WD RC car. It claims good durability, but has extensive use of mostly nylon/composite plastic components. Some seem very durable, but this car probably would need some upgrades for serious off-road competitive racing. For fun in the neighborhood and just getting started, it looks like a great choice and has some great features.

HPI Racing Brama 10B RTR 4WD 1/10th scale buggy is a sharp looking RC vehicle. It has some nice features for an entry level 4WD buggy. Based on the E10 chassis, this vehicle should have great handling characteristics. The video on the HPI Racing website shows the vehicle handling nicely and taking curbs and jumps with ease. Being a RTR, you just need to install the AA batteries in the transmitter, charge the vehicle's battery and your ready to run. One feature I really like, is the enclosed 4WD drive shaft, as they claim it helps protect from rocks and loose dirt getting into the drive train and slowing you down. This will keep your car running great in the harshest conditions. It has oil-filled shocks, ball bearings in the drivetrain, a nice tub chassis, a double wishbone suspension, good shock adjust abilities and much more. With a low street price, this should be a great buggy to get started in 1/10th scale 4WD.

This is a perfect Christmas gift. Though it costs a little expensive, kids will surely love this racing car. It has a Nylon front, and has a transmission of Single-speed with steel dogbones. Also, I wanna have this car for the Jonathan Budd Mastermind Olympics.

It is great that based on the tough E10 chassis, the Brama 10B has full-time 4WD for maximum traction on all off-road surfaces. HPI added long suspension arms and long-stroke oil-filled shock absorbers to allow the Brama 10B to soak up rough terrain with ease. For durability and extra protection, a sealed shaft drivetrain keeps 4G LTE Phones rocks and debris from slowing you down. You can keep the hammer down, the spiked Digger tires just keep going and going, biting and clawing through dirt, grass or hard-packed surfaces!

My boyfriend loves races. He's been a fan ever since he was a little kid. I was thinking of buying him something he could play around with, but not something he would have to make a car insurance for, you know? What do you think, would he like this sweet vehicle?
