Is the Jumpshot Flux good for a beginner?

Yes, if you want hobby-grade speed without a kit. It comes assembled with radio and electronics, but 2WD and 75+ km/h demand some throttle control.

Can it run on LiPo batteries?

The FLUX EMH-3S ESC is rated for 3S LiPo, so a LiPo pack is a common upgrade. Check the connector and gearing before you switch.

Is it really waterproof?

The ESC is fully waterproof, so splashes and wet grass are fine. The rest of the truck is not sealed, so don't submerge it.

How does it compare with a 4WD stadium truck?

A 4WD truck puts power down better on loose dirt and corners harder. The Jumpshot Flux is simpler, lighter and cheaper to maintain.

What comes in the box?

The assembled truck, 2.4 GHz transmitter, brushless motor, waterproof ESC and a NiMH battery. A charger and AA transmitter batteries are not always included.

What spare parts are easy to find?

HPI sells Jumpshot arms, hubs, gears and body parts through hobby shops. Check local stock before buying, since availability varies.
