HPI, -
I would like to include my pictures of an HPI Porsche 911 Turbo.
This body is 200mm, with a custom flag paint job using Alclad
II chrome stripes, shadowed Metallic Red stripes, and Metallic
Blue.
This is a variation of an American flag, with a killer twist.
Instead of a standard blue swatch, flames have been used instead
with Chrome stars and outlines. I have always been a Porsche fanatic!!
I hope you do include this in your photo gallery. Thank you!

We are an entire racing family. Total we have
11 different R/C cars. Most are electric but we do have a few
gas power trucks as well. We have a large concrete parking area
(50ft. x 90ft.) in the back of our business which makes an excellent
area to play with all 5 of our micro RS4s after work and the
kids get out of school. all of ther cars were painted by myself.
Most of the paint jobs took less than a couple of hours to complete.
Each of our girls picked out which colors they wanted and I
went from there on their paint schemes.

HI,
My name is Miguel Díaz from Caracas Venezuela
and this is my first RC truck. Since I saw the first announcement
of savage 21 I knew that I had to buy it, and I was not mistaken.
I have not handled any another model but I think that it will
be dificult to improve this incredible truck.
It was a great pleasure to take photos of this
incredible machine.
Thanks, Miguel

This is my mostly stock Micro
RS4. All it has in it extra is a HPI modified motor and runs 6-cell
AA packs. I have plans for a few mods for handling that kinda
power but after that I will stick to creating kewl looking bodies.
I really dig the Saleen Mustang you have for the 10th scale version
so I used a combination of scanned Saleen graphics and hand-cut
vinyl for recreating the Saleen look on this Mustang body.
You really have a great product here. Keep up the good work.
Thanks,
Chad Lawhon
