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!

Hello my name Dave Jones form
Ottawa Ontario, Canada. I am a local r/c car painter in my area,
Bodywerx. Here are a few pictures of my wife's Pro 3 with an HPI
RSX body. The car has been heavily hopped up, everything is purple.
The body is painted with Metallic Pink, Silver and Teal. The graphics
were borrowed from the HPI Celica and traced to create paint masks.
She loves the design so much is was painted on her last car, (the
one with the trophy) and her micro too.

Hey every HPI Racer, This is my Savage 21.
It has a Ofna Hyper .21 8-port engine, Hot Bodies heavy duty
clutch and aluminum tuned exhaust pipe. The body is a Pro-Line
Hummer body and "ADRC Racing" painted an American
theme with the New York City Skyline on it. I also installed
the reverse module, which works alot better than the Traxxas
T-Maxx reverse mechanism. It has a HPI High Performance Air
Filter. I tell you HPI you really did a awesome and well thought
out truck. The competition the Traxxas T-Maxx is way far behind
in the suspension department and durable parts are also a great
quality of the Savage 21.

Hi, a friend of mine asked me to send you pictures
of HPI bodies he got and painted over the past year. He really
loves the bodies you make and he visits your web site everyday
to get informations on new bodies or simply to visit the Racer's
Gallery. His latest body is the Supra and he never stops to talk
about how sweet this body is. Besides the Supra, Civic and Viper
GTS-R he has a Celica body, but it's too much damaged to show
here. Tomorrow he's supposed to get the Silvia body... I don't
know which one is next, but i'm pretty sure he will have all the
200mm bodies one day.
Thank you

Hello HPI. I live
in Nassau county of New York My name is Jason and I am 14 years
old and I m crazy about Radio Controlled Cars. This is my first
kit ever, but won't be my last. I bought the Kit in September of
2002 at Willis Hobbies. I think the Nitro RS4 RTR 3 is great and
easy to tune and break in. The body is the Viper that came with
the kit, but it has been used before the picture was taken so it
dont really have that new just painted look. The kit is all stock
but i hope to add a 2 speed and more. Im saving up for the Nitro
MT and soon going to purchase a new body for my Nitro RS4 RTR 3.
On that body i will attempt to use three colors. I will send you
the picture of that body and the Nitro MT which I am saving for
before i use it. LOL I can't wait until i experience an offroad
Truck. HPI u are the best keep it up. I will never grow out of the
RC hobby.

Hi, great kits, keep up the great work. This is
my first nitro kit, well actually my first kit because I bought
a used "grasshopper" back when you could still buy them
new. I've had this kit for about a week and love it. This truck
kick serious butt, but since I'm from way up in Toronto Canada,
I'm a little frustrated with the second coming of winter that
we had last week. Nothing special about the truck yet, but looking
forward to my next body and my first mods.
Keep up the good work

This Dodge Stratus for my micro was custom painted by Bodywerx
for my micro rs4. The decals were all customs as was the paint,
and the hood. There is also the option big wing to make it look
even more like the really thing.

Hi my name is Mike and im currently
from Connecticut and have been into R/C since I was about 5 years
old. When I was little, I always loved driving around r/c cars and
racing my friends. At about at age 13 I built my 1st 1/10th scale
car (the one shown here, Mitsubishi Lancer WRC) from scratch. Ever
since then I built a VW Baja Beetle and and currently upgrading
the rally car. I built my own r/c rally track, its 3 tracks in one,
I have a big oval (the one this car is racing on in the pictures),
a mini-oval with jumps, and a road course thats all 3 tracks combined.
The track is completly dirt and the rally car really gets around
the big oval quick, ofcourse it rips up the dirt and send it flying
everywhere! Im planning on building the same type of car again,
using the 2003 Mitsubishi WRC body, and race agaist my friends for
a rally duel. I hope to make more additions to my car and track
by the end of Summer 2003!

HPI,
I have sent to you my PICS of my RS4 RTR 3. I am new to the sport/hobbie.
I am extremely pleased with the performance and durability of
my first nitro rc car. I have made a few up grades to the RTR
3 and here they are in no particular order:
3 mm Super Chassis
Swaybar Set
2 Speed Tran.
Universal Front and Rear Dogbone's
Alum. Threaded Pinions 19T and 23T
Black Alum. Exhaust Header
Adjustable Turn Buckels
Fiber Disc Brake
Subaru Impreza 2002 Body
Nissan Silvia GT Body (As Shown)
The Silvia GT Body has a black hood painted underneath
with a tapered black stripe that wraps around one side, over the
rear trunk lid and back down the opposite side. The red paint
has a bit of black mixed in with it to darken it up. The two pitcrew
members names are Gizmo (Left) and Buttons (Right), they wanted
in on the shot too.
You guys ROCK, Keep up the great work !!!
Thankyou

This is my Skyline GTR It was gift from my brother, and he painted
it to match one of his earlier Stock Cars. This body holds a lot
of personal value to me, and I'm very proud to show it off whenever
I have the chance. The body itself has about 45 laps worth of racing
on it. A couple of tire marks add to it's character, but that's
about all the track time it'll see.
