Week One, March 2003

G'day HPI from Down Under - AUSTRALIA!

My name is Pete Garnaut, I live in Adelaide, South Australia, AUSTRALIA !!!

I have been in to R/C racing for about 16 years and I've always done my own Kustom Paint Jobz!

My most recent Kustom is on your latest HPI Lamborghini body, which I have to say is a WILD LOOKING CAR and all artwork on the body is air-brushed by me! I recently entered this body in my R/C Club's CONCOURSE competition and won 1st prize. I am also contemplating starting my own Kustom R/C body paint shop.

I hope you like the pics I have attached to this email and that they are good enough to be included on your site and entered in to your Competition!

All the Best,

Pete Garnaut

 


Week Two, March 2003

Here's a few pics of my family's micro's. We race them on our portable carpet 25'x25' micro track when weather permits........ The micro RS4 is the best selling electric kit in my shop, and we have 5 all together.
I have also included a couple pic's of our track too. These cars can also be found on our website too. Don't care much about the contest, just wanted to share some awesome micro's with you all ! My wife's truck is not quite finished yet, will send you some pic's when complete.

My son's Viper, just painted the body. It's equipped with Hpi 45 turn mod, 1100mah 6 cell pack, 3PS radio gear, and novak speedo. the chassis is all stock for now.

My Daughters New Beetle, she had to have a VW !!! the car is all stock, a RTR with a HPI 600 mah battery pack.

My NSX...............a full race IPD 140 pro limited chassis, blue and silver aluminum everywhere from various manufacturers, LRP quantum and phazer electrics, Orion big block, 6 cell saddle pack, micro servo, MX3 radio, HPI light kit and rear ball diff, GH front adjustable ball diff and shocks, TRC foams and a few other things I'm probably missing......

Thanks for looking!

Week Four, March 2003

HPI Crew,

Hey my name is BJ Mace and I live in Chesapeake, Virginia. I recently got into R/C Cars with a strong interest in airbrushing. Here is my first attempt at painting some of your fine Lexan. The silver racing stripe was done with masking tape and pin stripe decals used as a mask on the inside. The gray was a custom mix of black, silver and white paint. Enjoy!
