you will find some pics of my
RS4 Rally.
The Impreza has always been one of my favorite cars. For the fourth
year my friends and I are organising a series of contests for the
rallycars. If you want to keep in touch with the series have a look
on:
http://www.rcrallycup.com
Maybe it's a cool site for HPI's link section. The races are backed
by the Dutch HPI dealer: Merit Racing and Tamiya.
The other pictures are from the BMW GTR. We raced that body on a
combined chassis of my Pro 2 and Rally.
This car was entered in the legendary HFCC 4hour race in wich it
got second.
Futhermore I got an other site for the link section: http://www.dmrcp.com
This is a site wich features everything my friends and I like about
motorsport. RC, trackdays, motorshows, cartests and soon the 24
hour races from the Nurburgring, Le Mans and Franchorchamps.
With kind regards,

This is a custom body i painted. It is on a Pro
3, which is an AWESOME car, thank you so much for the quality
products you make. The car is stock because of the specific races
i participate in at the local track. If you're wondering, yes,
that tiger is real, it happens that my brother is a lion tamer,
and he allowed me to take the picture in his cage. It took me
about 2 weeks to completely finish and fix up, but well worth
the outcome. Thanks again HPI!

First off, I would like to say that HPI bodies
and R/C's are awsome. I own a HPI Nitro MT, but I don't have any
pictures to submit of it yet. The pictures that I'm submitting
are of my Traxxas 4-Tec 4wd car with an HPI Honda Civic Si body.
As you will see, some of the pictures, the body posts were not
drilled yet, I just didn't have the heart to put anything through
the body. The body was painted with Pactra True Blue Pearl and
backed with Pactra Indy Silver. The wheels are from a Traxxas
Nitro 4-Tec.
Sincerely,
Russell Lovrin

Hi Guys,
Thanks for getting me back into the hobby with
your HPI Challenges. We really need some tracks in North Jersey.
It all started with one Rs4-SS... then I built
one for my brother... then one for his friend. You know how it
goes. Hpi has the most realistic bodies that are easy to detail
with the beautiful stickers and convenient window maskings. I
am also a big fan of the anodized aluminum; without the color
I feel as if I am back in days of Kyosho (yuk). I bought the SS
also because I like building kits and I couldn't wait to get my
hands on that 2 speed transmission. Next thing you know I have
a Racer MT and RS4-2 (wanted to build something with belts for
fun) and finally my prize Proceed.
I hope you like my photos as much as I do.

Hi!
Here are some pics of - in my opinion- one of the greatest bodies
ever: the HPI Ford Mondeo! I painted it with LRP Metallic Red/LRP
Silver and the silver painted HPI BBS wheels gives the body a
realistic and very fine look. The chassis is a full optioned HPI
RS4 Pro3.
So long,

Unfortunately there is snow every where and i
cannot race or jump, but here are some photos from last year.The
ramps are 5' high x 16' long and the transition is pretty steep.
i am transfering across the middle grind box to the flat bank
& i am pretty much going full throttle due to the tight tranny.
the length of the ramp to ramp is ~16' long. Oh Ya. this is my
first hpi mt and it is a RTR & i just got the saleen SS.keep
up the good workand designs, Peace!

| My name is Marcello and I live
in New York. I just picked up a RS4-3 Type SS and painted two hot
bodies. I did a few light mechanical upgrades but I love to work
on new bodies and styles. |
|

When I became interested in rc
cars, my girlfriend complained that I spent too much time with them
and not enough with her. Then she decided to start helping me with
them.... So she came up with a design and hand-painted the body.Here
is the result. Whatdya think?

Hello. My name is Martin and I
am submitting on behalf of my friend Gil Than. He designed these
HPI bodies to be similar to actual Touring Cars; hence the large
amount of sponsor decals. The cars are a Dodge Stratus and a Peugeot
406 Coupe. Both bodies are placed on a Tamiya chassis.

Here is my HPI NMT. This thing is a beast, goes
anywhere! Its my favorite because it can take much more abuse
than my other HPIs (RS4, Sport 2, F1). This car was featured in
the June 2001 issue of "Radio Control Car Action" magazine;
page 48. All painting was done using only spray cans, I do not
have an airbrush or anything like that. Thanks

For these bodies I chose the Honda Spoon Sports
Theme mainly seen in Japan. Both the Honda Civic Hatchback and
the Honda S2000 features HPI LED kits. It was a long process to
complete these cars and boat because the decals are hand cut.
I'm too poor to afford a sticker machine. I would like to thank
my girlfriend for doing the masking and the decals for me. SHES
AWESOME! Hope you guys enjoy!

simple, yet very effective. We plan to use this as a “team

This is my HPI Savage. Most of the truck is stock, however I have
upgraded the engine to a RB .21 S7. Now this truck is so bad that
it will actually flip onto it's back. It's gone up against some
good trucks like the new T-MAXX and the Thunder Tiger and has just
blown them away. This is a great smash-mouth monster truck. |

The photograph I have included this time is also
from team DMRCP. It's a Subaru Impreza in CastrolRacing spec.
This body has been made by Mik Hoogwerf who lives in Rotterdam,
