Hi here are a few pics of my Savage and my friend's savage. We often take a video camera out whenever we're out running our rc's. These are pics from our off road footage. My Savage is the one with the Escalade body shell, the other belongs to my friend Jun. Jun's Savage (at the time of these pics)is stock with an Ofna 21 hyper 8 port. But he has more goodies on the way. At the time of these pics, I had added a RD Logics 1 piece pipe. I too have more goodies for my Savage. As for the Savage in the air, I'm not sure if it's my Savage or Jun's. The HPI Savage is too much fun. We're constatly amazed with it's durability to take high jumps and novice driver abuse. Thanks HPI for building a great monster truck.

Hello:

A former Subaru owner, I painted the green body up to replicate my 98 Legacy. And a rally fan, the Impreza WRC is the cornerstone of my R/C collection.

Many Thanks

Hi, my name is David V. I am 15 and this is my first Nitro truck. I've went over the biggest jumps and it amazes me to see it still in one piece. This truck was well worth my money and time.

Hi, My name's Marcin and I bought my HPI RS4 Mt in Australia. It was easy building it but i spent quite a lot of time gettting the pieces of the trees. The car has great grip but think about getting different tires for dirt tracks. The only problem I found in the car is it's cooling, the electrics get extremely hot during summer. I made a few holes in the back
part of the under body to help cool down the engine. Keep up the Great designs HPI!

this is my SUPER RS4. I have RC RAGE 1/8 scale wheel adapters on it. The body is a 8th scale porsche 962 by SERPENT and the motor is a 7 port outlaw .15 NOVAMEGA evo4 with a 2 stage novamega pipe. I use a Futaba 3PDF Rx/Tx, 2 speed tranny and all the aluminum has been stripped to give it the billet look. The paint job was done by yours truly and was inspired by my favorite beverage! It is all airbrushed with the exception of the few logo decal's on the side. It was done using Parma Lacquer Paint and an Iwata airbrush. Thanks for looking and I hope you use the picture's.

Hey everyone at HPI. My name is Jon Peters. I just bought the truck NEW SEALED IN THE BOX from ebay a couple of weeks ago. I love it so far and have had no problems with it as of yet. I plan to do a lot of hop ups in the future and have already bought the Reverse Module and a third Servo. I plan on installing them this weekend. Thanks HPI for a great product!

Hello,

Here are two pictures of my stock HPI Micro RS4 with the Honda NSX GT body. The beautiful paintwork is by Dave at Bodywerx, scuff marks by me (sorry Dave). We have a small group that races box stock Micro on a custom made indoor carpet track that is located inside one of the local hobby shops. We hold races every Friday evening running two 10 minute qualifiers, followed by a 15 minute main.

Limiting the cars to kit stock with 4-cells and running on the relatively small track makes for some very exciting racing. The costs to run are extremely low but the value for money is high.

I run a Novak Spy speed control with a Novak XXL FM receiver guided my my Multiplex Profi 301 transmitter.

Regards,

Steve Maines

Well, This is my first new RC vehicle. It's bone stock except for the Dodge body. I painted it myself. These pics are of the first day I ran it.

I am not much for the competition but figured that I should show what can be done with HPI's 300mm bodies. Sometimes simple is the way to go :-)

Please find attached a picture of a project that I recently finished for my wife. She has the electric Rally Car and after smoking a few electric motors and the speed control I wanted to get her into the Nitro side. She had mentioned that she always wanted the Super Nitro Rally. Around Christmas we got a Savage to add to our collection of R/C's. I figured that it was time to get her back into it.

It is still very stock except for a few upgrades.
HPI Heavy Duty Slipper Clutch.
Racers Edge Silicone Receiver protector
JR XR2 Radio gear.
JR High Speed High Torque Steering servo.
Motor Saver air filter
Racers Edge Small Fuel Filter.
Team Duze Custom Shock Bud E-Z
and finally the HPI 300mm Subaru rally Body done using SpazStix Blue/ Purple/ Red color change and UV Mango and Electric blue for the Subaru Logo's. Very special care and attention to detail were taken to do all of the hood scoop inserts and grill area's using the TeamDuze Grill E-Z.

Thank you consideration in your contest.

Here is a body that I painted and designed in
remembrance of all our "Prisoners Of War", past,
present and future.


This is my first nitro r/c car. It's a nitro mt with a nice custom mounted viper body thats got pactra pearl blue paint, tinted blue windows, and two choice silver stripes down the middle. It's also got a limited slip drive gear, and an hpi step 3 engine hop-up. I used my dad's new chevy truck and our old barbecue for backdrops. Hope that the viper body on a truck appeals to you! Great job making a really tough truck.
