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

This is my HPI nitro RS4-2. I have added a HPI racing header, a CVEC adjustable pipe, a HPI racing clutch, turnbuckles to adjust camber and tow, a HPI stabliizer set, and the HPI 2 speed transmission. This is my first nitro car and I just want to say that this thing is a blast! I also want to congradulate the HPI crew on a job well done; I am anything but gentle on
this thing, and it's just unstopable. This is the new TVR Tuscan Speed 6 body that I did red with black flames. I think it looks pretty mean. I hope you like the pic. Thanks for all the fun.

A satisfied customer,

Here are my 2 babied HPI bodies. The M5 with custom LED's and the S600 with the black JDM style hood. I love these bodies because they both accomodate HPI Super Nitro wheels for the big pimpin look and geared up ratios. Unfortunately the S600 is not in it's pristine condition anymore after an accident with a 6 turn Double in the engine bay. Let's say it was rolling over in mid air for 10 seconds.. OUCH!!!


This is my first actual RC Car, unlike the one's from toy stores. This is a Nitro RS4 3 Type SS Kit that I put together. It took me 8 1/2 hrs to finish, but it was really fun to build. This is my first paint job ever, so hopefully it goes into your gallery.

A super nitro Rally transformed to street Demon. Two speed Tranny, CVEC pipe coupled with a hi flow header. Aluminum A arms and shocks on all corners to stabilize the beast. Slick feet to keep traction on the concrete. MIP clutch hooks power up to the 15/21 tooth cluthbell! 47/44 gears move the rocket to 50+ mph speeds on the Arizona terrain. She may not be a show stopping ride but she’s all motor. A ported .15 CV with a motor saver Air filter to keep debris out of my mill and to preserve the number of licks inflicted on unwary racers. I love the ride and hope you could appreciate it as well Thanks.

HPI knocks all others out the box.

Peace. Team Jedi Racers out

This is my Nitro MT Racer that I have had a great deal of fun with. This is my second truck and have had a ton of enjoyment out of it. I enjoy working on my truck as much as driving it. I get alot of compliments on it and have let a number of spectators try driving it. The kids that have driven it, usually have a smile from ear to ear. That is worth every cent I have spent in this truck. Thanks for the opportunity to show of my truck.

These pics are of my brand new Pro 3 and the 2 bodies I created for it. The list of mods includes woven graphite plate chassis, upper deck and shock towers, front one-way differential, aluminum front bulkhead, threaded aluminum shocks, titanium hinge pins and turnbuckles, purple aluminum MIP CVDs, purple aluminum spur gear hub, purple aluminum heat sink motor plate. All optional parts are from HPI except the electrics. I am new on the RC scene but so far I am very happy with HPI products and excellent customer service. Thanks for the great car and keep up the great work.
