If your looking for some serious speed then you won’t be able to find it because this thing moves way to fast.
HPI have pulled all the strings on Pulse 4.6 Buggy. First off lets look at the car visually, the plastic casing supplied to cover the car looks `badass’ indeed but once that is removed we can see how well the car is designed and built. Everything mechanically is machined and put together superbly and the layout on the chassis is very smart. The spoiler also helps the car look very dramatic and whichever side or angle you view the car at, you can see lots of eye candy!
The Pulse 4.6 Buggy is a nitro RC car. Running at a whopping 4.6cc this engine screams. The nitro fuel needed is 20-25% due to it’s huge engine. It’s also a 4WD, has an aluminium chassis, large flywheel opening allows rocks to exit chassis, fully adjustable suspension, special fibre brake pads, adjustable steel turnbuckles, easy-access diff cases, extreme steering angles, no e-clips, durable 4-gear diffs and much much more. So as you can see this car is packed to top and beyond with features and these features are top spec.
Making adjustments and tuning the HPI Pulse 4.6 Buggy was relatively easy due to the clean easy to understand design.
Now lets talk performance and racing. All you really need to know is this thing is fast. It has an insane amount of torque and an utterly amazing suspension system on all 4 wheels making hills and wet terrains a breeze. The acceleration is also very impressive with it’s jetting off insanely `quick trick’. But steering was one thing I thought this car would let itself down on, it turns out that it excels at steering even on really wet terrains it makes tight turns look easy. The HPI Pulse 4.6 Buggy is a speed demon!
I said about how well this car is built earlier on but it gets really tested when thrown into walls, trees, hills ect. I have to say that it’s pretty resilient which always a good thing where RC cars are concerned. I have put this thing through way to much and it coped with the pressure just fine. The suspension really kicks in well with some extreme high up landings which would damage many other RC cars in the same tier as this.
Overall this is a fantastic RC RTR car. The HPI Pulse 4.6 is perfect for those who love doing this as a hobby or for those who are thinking about getting into it especially with the cars easy set up process, controls and build quality being top notch. Not to forget how much fun you will have with it, from jumping to racing and all the way to pulling off tricks. The HPI Pulse 4.6 buggy is definitely worth putting on your Christmas lists.
