This is the HPI "Ivan Stewart Edition" Mini-Trophy 1/12 Scale 4WD RTR Desert Trophy Truck. The HPI Mini-Trophy is one of the most unique RC vehicles ever made - designed in conjunction with the full-size desert racing team from TSA Motorsports, the Mini-Trophy is almost a carbon copy of TSA's full-size racing truck that competes in the 7200 class of desert racing trucks. The Mini-Trophy uses nothing but the finest grade, high-impact nylon plastic on the most critical areas of the truck - from the bumpers to the super beefy arms and everything in between. HPI's industry known strength and durability makes the MINI-TROPHY friendly for all, and most of all - FUN!
With a four wheel drive system, driving is made easy. Drivability testing has rendered extremely impressive results. Add more power with a brushless system and the stability and control is still there! The truck simply drives really well in the loose dirt. When traction breaks loose and the rear end of the vehicle is swung out and on-throttle, the truck remains controllable. Bottom line, this 4WD technical feature adds to the overall fun factor.
Ivan 'Ironman' Stewart is one of the most legendary drivers in American motorsport. From his first win in 1973, the Ironman went on to a hugely successful partnership with Toyota trucks and conquered the off-road racing scene, garnering 17 Baja 500 wins, eight Mint 400 wins, four Parker 400s, three Baja 1000s and four SCORE World Championships. Ivan is an inductee into the Off Road Motorsports Hall of Fame, alongside such legendary figures as Mickey Thompson, Walker Evans, Parnelli Jones and Dick Cepek.
