Initial review and run of the HPI Vorza Flux HP 4wd brushless buggy. Shop HPI-Racing cars & trucks here: amzn.to/2N3xgW3 Shop HPI Vorza parts here: amzn.to/3d52fM9
It should handle it but it's hard to say without knowing what the vehicle is. The owners manual should tell you what it can handle for batteries. If you don't have the manual you should be able to look it up on line.
hi pal, not only i've witnessed abt hpi esc easy to burnt out but after for what i've seen yr JUST driven ard vid on yr vorza, my confident on vorza went even down bcos not only yr pinion gear went loose, but also yr rear axle area! No jumping but only driven ard & this can happening on yr gear & rear axle! Gosh....it shocked me even harder & i not sure wanna get this buggy in de end! so pal, issit worth buying vorza???
..the idea is use one type whether it be Traxxas or Deans(Ultra Plugs) and stick to it and keep all of your R/C's using the same connectors, because those universal connectors that come with those Venom batts and others as well simply create more resistance and heat which is BAD...... I hope you're pickin up what I am layin down
Clearly you did not understand my commentary. I said that it will make me think it twice, before buying. I was appealing to the fact that when you buy one of these toys, sometimes things go well and sometimes things go not as good (as the author of the video showed us). What a better evidence than seeing this rather than telling or hearing. I own a Trophy, very happy with the car, cheap and though I must say. Vorza is not sold locally, i need to buy it from Amazon.
Those plastic rear carriers are weak as hell on multiple HPI vehicles, including the trophy series buggies and truggies. I broke my rear carrier on my trophy truggy on the first pack. Cheap to fix, but still annoying. Upgrading to aluminum HP parts is highly recommended.
ok thanks i found out :) and i might just get an entirely new traxxas rustler i mean i dont already have one but im getting one so could you tell me a good battery for it if you know and i dont want one that will make it go 70+ mph cuz im not that pro and thanks again :)
what you need to do is cut the existing plugs off of either your ESC or Batteries and solder on the connectors that most of your vehicles use..... Say you have lots of Traxxas connectors on your other vehicles then the smart move is to get a set of female Traxxas connectors..
wut do you think would happen if i put 7.2V, 3000mAH battery in my brushed motor truggy i just wanna know cuz i am kinda new to the rc car hobby and just wanna make sure it wont damage the motor or anything :) please comment back asap :) thanks :D
WHAT!!! IF I WERE U, I WILL BUY ONLY ONCE & STICK TO THAT PROBLEMATIC AREAS ON DE VORZA! I WON'T BUY ANOTHER 1. HPI STANDS FOR (High Price Items) & their items is not cheap k, just look @ savage flux hp price! gosh! , )
How are those venom lipos that you have are they the 1558, 5000mah 25c 7.4 2cell? If so I was thinking about purchasing them for my savage hp flux what do you think? New to the hobby having a hard time finding battery and charger.
ive been in the hobby for maybe 2 years had a 1/16 e redo and a slash 4x4 and i wanted to get a buggy. is this a middle of the line buggy? is it good quality? is it for bashing? is it for racing?
This buggy and the Thunder Tiger MT4-G3 are the best 1/8 scale bashing options on the market. You can't go wrong with a Vorza. Just upgrade those shitty rear hub carriers and you're golden.
hey pal, can u give me a simple list that which parts need to changed to alum parts & which parts i need to aware of! cos i also wanna buy from ebay to singapore too pal! thanks bud. , )
Good review, but you only used 4s?? This thing is geared so low, it will only do 50 kph on 4s. My dominator does 80 kph on 4s. 6s is when this cars power shows. It will hit 80kph but it will hit it fast. Its acceleration on 6s is insane, due to the high torque motor and lower gearing. (You can add 2 teeth and it will do a hundred without losing much torque.)
I don't know how those venom lipos are lasting you, because I had same 2s lipos and one puffed up after 9 runs and stopped taking charge. I stopped using Venom after that since they are the crappiest batteries in my experience.
I've never tried an e-maxx. Both stock i like the vorza better. It seems to handle & jump better for me. The e-revo is fast & is better in a sand pit. They're really 2 different types of cars. I'm sure if you know what you're doing the e-revo can be set up to handle good too.
u wont really get the vorza to wheelie its to low to the ground compaired to your e-revo... bang a 20T pinion on the motor ive done it to my hyper 7 and its mental power now and loads more low end punch to get some wheelies some times! and a good 20MPH on top speed as well! im going to get another 20t for my vorza as thats on 17t at the moment i chewed up the 18t lol and get rear alloy hubs will stop that hub coming off! the only thing i want now is a better center driveshaft! they bend easy..
I think it was worth it. So far it has been pretty durable. Only broken parts have been a rear a-arm from getting rammed by another rc & a dogbone. No problems with the esc.
I feel they're two different style cars. I personally like the Vorza better than the E-Revo. It seems to handle better on the hard pack, it jumps more level and is easier to control in the air, and so far it has been more durable. The E-Revo is faster stock for stock and i will use the E-Revo if I'm going to a pit or want to do some major jumps. Hope that helps.
I think the Vorza is a great middle of the line buggy. It has seen some jumping abuse and it seems to be pretty rugged. I think it makes a better basher than racer. It's a little on the heavy side.
I have heard nothing but good things about the Vorza but for the amount of money you put out and for the wheel to come off and the pinion gear coming loose. I will end up possibly still getting one though dunno we shall see.
Alot faster also. Very low geared for crazy torque but still hits 50mph on this gearing. You can add 2 teeth to pinion, get 60mph without losing Hardly Any Torque.
Thanks for posting. It is a good thing i came up to your video because, for bad or good, it happened that you faced many problems that no other people ask, like the tires beeing correctly and firmly tightened. Also, you wrecked your car against other car, also having more battery power. Really, really appreciate your video because it will make me think it twice before buying this truggy.
No problem at all! I like hearing commentaries. I do believe the Vorza is well the prize, the problem of course is a lot of money to use the toy once in a month. But i am an HPI fan and will probably relay on the brand.
Please God make the music stop!
Crap innit yawn.
Music is annoying
why added connectors? the venom packs come with the universal connector pack included
only 25c ???? want 35 plus on that then try it full throttle !!!!!! good times :D
It should handle it but it's hard to say without knowing what the vehicle is. The owners manual should tell you what it can handle for batteries. If you don't have the manual you should be able to look it up on line.
I'm really not sure which parts you should upgrade to aluminum. So far i haven't seen much you need to be aware of.
Before the vorza all i had were traxxas vehicles, so i all ready had a bunch of lipos with traxxas connectors.
The MUSIC does noting for your videos !
Yep. The music is pure rubbish.
I enjoyed your clip. Great stuff! Thanks for posting.

hi im planning to get the vorza and already owned the brushless e-revo... so was it worth getting the vorza or should i just stick with the e-revo?
thanks and i still have a coupple of questions. is it waterproof? whats its top speed with different batteries? does it need a motor upgrade?
Its mild because your only running 25c batteries. It says clearly that a minimum of 45c must be used or you will cause engine harm.
HI PAL, ITS BEEN 3MTHS ON YR VORZA NOW & CAN U TELL ME IS IT WORTH BUYING & DURABLE IN PARTS, DE ESC EZ BURNT OUT???
the weakest parts are the c hubs and front and rear wheel carriers (this will also increase the steering accuracy )
Good review, but you only used 4s?? This thing is geared so low, it will only do 50 kph on 4s. My dominator does 80 kph on 4s. 6s is when this cars power shows. It will hit 80kph but it will hit it fast. Its acceleration on 6s is insane, due to the high torque motor and lower gearing. (You can add 2 teeth and it will do a hundred without losing much torque.)
I know what in doing but I'm going to go with the vorza thanks. What lipo do you recommend for this
It's Odin Smith
How do you like your vorza i love mine i stole the tires off my loss 8ight 2.0 for track use
I don't know how those venom lipos are lasting you, because I had same 2s lipos and one puffed up after 9 runs and stopped taking charge. I stopped using Venom after that since they are the crappiest batteries in my experience.
Maine
Yes
What's the diffrence beetween flux and flux Hp and which be is faster
I've never tried an e-maxx. Both stock i like the vorza better. It seems to handle & jump better for me. The e-revo is fast & is better in a sand pit. They're really 2 different types of cars. I'm sure if you know what you're doing the e-revo can be set up to handle good too.
Even with those problems I would buy a Vorza again for bashing. For racing I would probably pick something different.
u wont really get the vorza to wheelie its to low to the ground compaired to your e-revo... bang a 20T pinion on the motor ive done it to my hyper 7 and its mental power now and loads more low end punch to get some wheelies some times! and a good 20MPH on top speed as well! im going to get another 20t for my vorza as thats on 17t at the moment i chewed up the 18t lol and get rear alloy hubs will stop that hub coming off! the only thing i want now is a better center driveshaft! they bend easy..
I saw a vorza doing standing start backflips like my mini revo. Maybe he locked the centre diff
if i ever wanted to enter some races could i do it with this one?
I think it was worth it. So far it has been pretty durable. Only broken parts have been a rear a-arm from getting rammed by another rc & a dogbone. No problems with the esc.
It's not waterproof. I'm not sure of the top speed but it's pretty fast with two 11.1v 3s batteries. I don't think it needs a motor upgrade.
Yes those are the batteries i have. They seem to work pretty good. I don't really care for the adapters they use on the end of the plug though.
I like the beat to the video, it has a unique sound who made it?
I feel they're two different style cars. I personally like the Vorza better than the E-Revo. It seems to handle better on the hard pack, it jumps more level and is easier to control in the air, and so far it has been more durable. The E-Revo is faster stock for stock and i will use the E-Revo if I'm going to a pit or want to do some major jumps. Hope that helps.
How's the suspension on the vorza and tires compared to erevo
I think the Vorza is a great middle of the line buggy. It has seen some jumping abuse and it seems to be pretty rugged. I think it makes a better basher than racer. It's a little on the heavy side.
I'm not 100% positive but i believe the HP is faster. I believe it has a higher kv motor & that's the difference.
What i meant to say was the Vorza can handle two 3s batteries while the Trophy can only handle two 2s, or one 4s, batteries.
I've had good luck with dynamite speed packs. Both the 7.4V 5300mAh 2S 25C & the 11.1V 5300mAh 3S 25C lipos.
can you fit these shocks on the trophy buggy???
I like the Vorza better than the E-Revo. It seems to handle & jump slightly better, but the E-Revo is slightly faster.
I heard that the vorza is way more durable than Traxxas
Can I run 3s and 2s in series without heating problems
I'm not sure. I don't have a trophy buggy to compare it to. I'd try emailing the company that make the outerwears.
I have an easier time jumping the vorza in the air, but a friend of mine can jump my e-revo just fine.
The vorza has a faster motor & can handle 11.1v 3s batteries so that's why i picked it over the trophy buggy.
I like it a lot. It's fast & durable. The biggest down side is it's a little on the heavy side.
And can you please make another review but I depth
I haven't had any over heating problems running 2 3s or 2 2s in series.
I have broken more parts on the e-revo, but i've also launched it off a bit bigger jumps.
So far they have been working ok. A friend has had trouble with them though.
I have heard nothing but good things about the Vorza but for the amount of money you put out and for the wheel to come off and the pinion gear coming loose. I will end up possibly still getting one though dunno we shall see.
What's better erevo emaxx brushless or vorza
I thinks so. I'm plan on trying some racing this coming spring with it.
I think it goes great. I'm trying some Duratrax tires right now.
So far I've had good luck with dynamite speedpack, venom & spc batteries.
It looks like you dont like a Vorza :D
Dude the Trophy is 4s lipo compatible!
I think they're slightly better on the vorza.
I'd say they are pretty close in that regards.
Hi pal, can it take 17mm wheel?
34444 mamba monster truk
It's way better than the E-Revo what are you talking about?
Alot faster also. Very low geared for crazy torque but still hits 50mph on this gearing. You can add 2 teeth to pinion, get 60mph without losing Hardly Any Torque.
What are you running for gearing?
Thanks what's more durable
Does the vorza jump better
Thanks for posting. It is a good thing i came up to your video because, for bad or good, it happened that you faced many problems that no other people ask, like the tires beeing correctly and firmly tightened. Also, you wrecked your car against other car, also having more battery power. Really, really appreciate your video because it will make me think it twice before buying this truggy.
Worst music ever in a video!! Turn that shit off!!!
I agree 💯
What state do u live in
No problem at all! I like hearing commentaries. I do believe the Vorza is well the prize, the problem of course is a lot of money to use the toy once in a month. But i am an HPI fan and will probably relay on the brand.
excuse me, but what?
Hpi trophy is 4s vorza 6s i using 1 lipo pack in my trophy 4200mah 14.8 v have not had any wheels fallen of lol its a great rc have no complaints
I'll see what i can do.
Its a great basher not so good with speed but it can be made to go fast.
Yeah I have been using Zippy's from hobby king since then , and no issues at all , but you have a nice buggy though tough and durable.
so how would you compare it with e revo brushless, coz i m planning to buy one, i cud choose either frm e revo or vorza help me plz
You said you had two new batteries, were you running them series to make it 4S, or just running it on 2S individually, before you did the 6S that is?
can you use the outerwear cover for the vorza on the hpi trophy buggy flux
seriously that intro was too long and sounded awful
also its not a traxxas so why would it use traxxas connectors instead of standard t connectors
And do you recommend the trophy truggy or buggy over the vorza
Blue locktite on tread and its much more safe ;)
what does it even mean "handle & jump slightly better"??
So how do you like the Vorza?
My Trophy Truggy Flux destroys my E Revo !!! Wrong comparison to compare this to the E Revo
Anything beats the E-Revo IMO... God I'm glad I got rid of that ride.
51mph out of box!...love it thumbs up.
how much was it?
U charge it.......
dis
Rating 1-10 what would give the vehicle ? And is it worth the price tag ?
Daniel Finn-Kelly If give it an 8. Very solid, just a little on the heavy side compared to a pure race buggy.
8. They just came out with a new version
