For years now traxxas has been making some of the best and highest quality rc cars in the business, but are they really top tier like they say they are? Enter Hpi racing another huge company who is looking to take rc cars to a whole new level. Since coming on the scene traxxas has been in direct competition for remote controlled cars with hpi racing. The two companies at one point thought of merging but traxxas was unwilling to compromise so the deal went south. Although hpi racing claims to be the biggest and best manufacturer of remote controlled cars I still think Traxxas is number 1.
