Hello,
Here are a few shots of my Savage. As you can see I like to run
off-road and on-road. To drop the chassis for on-road racing,
one can just remove the springs from the stock shocks, and let
the shocks sit on the bump stops. I installed some short, heavy
springs from another car to give it some suspension and remedy
tire bounce. I know some people feel that making a monster truck
a road racer is futile, but I think it showcases the versatility
of the model. It handles amazingly well, and I didn't have to
buy another product to have fun in the parking lot. (sorry ;)
Regards,
Darryl Cannon

My name is Harry Papas and I'm from Chicago Illinois. This
is my RS4 3 TYPE SS with the Saleen S7R body. Take a close look
at the paint job I think it speeks for it self. I have not been
able to take it out much because of the snow and cold weather
but spring is just around the corner. I cant wait to take it
out and see what it can do.

Dear HPI Crew,
My name is Dave, I've been into RC car for a very long time
but this is my first Nitro. I am very pleased with the quality
of the RS4 3 Type SS kit and can not wait 'till spring so I
can run it. I painted the S7R kit to look as much like a street
car as possible and have already purchased two of your Porsche
bodies as well. This car should be a blast to drive and should
draw a lot of attention when I go to car shows.
Thanks for putting out a great product with some cool bodies.

and something about yourself?!

Hi,
My name is Brian and I'm from Boothwyn, PA. I wanted to share
a few pictures of my micro rs4's in action. The beetle has an
airtronics mx3 radio, rear ball diff and a front one-way. The
viper is still stock but it will be upgraded in the future. These
cars get abused almost every day and still work just as good as
the day i bought them.
Thank you,
Brian Pratt

Hi!
I made some pix of my new HPI Mercedes CLK DTM for the LRP-HPI
Challange. The body does not only look great, the handling is
very good. I hope you find it great, too. HPI BODIES 4 EVER!!!
Have fun, Christian Lauer, Germany, Team Psycho-Racing www.psycho-racing.de.tt

This is my Nitro MT that I bought
as an RTR kit and have done many hop ups to it.It has titanium turnbuckles,slipper
clutch,tuned pipe and header,racing clutch, just to name a few.I
have done the RC thing for many years(about 18 to be precise) and
this thing is my first nitro car and I couldn't be happier with
it's performance.This picture was taken while the car was taking
a break at my local track.Unfortunately it is the only good digital
one that I have.

| Hi! My car is a DASH with a Dodge
Viper body. This is my first car and paint job, but man was it fun.
If you look at the picture where it is sitting next to a cement
curb that gives you some specs. The body litiraly hugs the ground,
so I have trouble with
driveways. Anyway it's been a blast with this car and thank you
for making the best cars ever.

Hi,
Some of my friends and I are doing an article for our school,
(Montgomery Blair High School),'s newspaper, Silverchips, about
RC racing. I would just like to say that I think you guys make
the greatest looking and most accurate bodies of any RC company
out there. Here are some pictures of my Supra for your gallery.
I have many more of my other bodies and cars and car modifications.

durable truck around. My Rush takes a beating and never fails
to come back for more. My hop ups to date include:
11 Tooth Clutch bell
Masher 2000 tires
Dirt Hawg tires
Dynamite Tuned pipe and Header
Motor Savers Air Filter
Dubro fuel Filter
HPI Turnbuckles
Thanks for a great truck!

my name is joey tam ( industry, ca )
here is my red toyota corolla trueno. i LOVE ae86's. this one
features rims i printed out and stuck onto the insides of other
rims so make it have a BIG lip. all the decals(GTS TWINCAM and
www.v-opt.co.jp) are stickers cut from a vinyl cutter. this is
my example of a drifting trueno. a car that's defiantly, an amazing
machine!
i used red spray lexan paint. i didn't do it the "panda"
2tone color so i left the bumpers black. the side of the car is
still red. i put on the pop up headlights and the trd wing. i
hope this inspires any drift lovers out there!

Hello All @ HPI
My name is Nigel Sawyer from Atlanta Georgia and I've been in
and out of the R/C scene since the age of 10. Me and the guys
here at my job love your products and have an after work race
every Thursday if the weather holds up. My car kit is your very
own HPI RS4 3 and I love it. Its my first nitro powered car and
I get a big kick out of it. I have put many upgrades on the car
and love what it has become. I like to look at the new bodies
you guys come up with and me and the boys think they are some
of the best and realest looking bodies on the market keep up the
good work. I have had 7 of your bodies already and you guys just
put out my most favorite car of all time the Mazda RX7 (I plan
to buy a real one soon and make it very fast but a little hard
to find). I hope you guys enjoy my latest HPI car body.
Best Regards,
Nigel T. Sawyer
