Chicago, Illinois

For the 2004 iHobby show in Chicago, HPI rolled out the "big booth" with its huge 16 foot HPI tower, 52" big screen TV, and brightly lit display tables. Highlights from the show included the new 3 speed transmission for the Savage, the Stage D drift conversion package, Savage SS 4.6 kit, Nitro RS4 3 18SS, Nitro MT 2 18SS, new HPI T-shirts, and a slew of exciting new HPI bodies: Mustang GT-R, Ford GT, Ford F-100, Lamborghini Countach, 2004 Subaru Impreza, and the awesome Porsche Carrera GT.

The iHobby show has really turned on the promotion for the past few years. With new management in charge of the show, the crowds are growing again and the word is spreading that the iHobby show is back. The HPI booth was busy all weekend, crowds of hobby enthusiasts swarmed the booth to see the latest HPI products. Dealer days were busy too, with dealers being invited to sign up for the new HPI Dealer Support Program (DSP) at an on-site registration station.

We hope you had the chance to come to Chicago to see the show, if not you can catch up with HPI at the RCX show in May, or take the trip to Los Angeles next year in October when the iHobby show will make a move to the west coast.
