I am a 38 year old father of 3 girls. I have been racing for 5 years, but I enjoy back yard bashing with my new gas powered HPI Savage. The first 3 attachments are of the savage. I just got a new air brush and this is my first attempt of painting a body with an air brush.

G'day HPI

My name is James Miles, I live in Melbourne, Victoria, AUSTRALIA !!!

I have been in to R/C racing for about 2 years and I've always done my own custom Paint Jobs!

My most recent custom is on your latest HPI Micro Stratus body and all the artwork on the body is air-brushed by me!

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,

James!!!

Hello

This is My Savage with the Jeep body I Airbrushed using all Faskolor Paints and SpazStix Chrome.The only Hop-Up on my Truck is the Ofna Picco .26 Outlaw and the HPI Air Filter. I would like more Hop-Ups but the Savage is just too durable because I have yet to break any stock parts unlike the other brand monster truck i own.

Thanks

Hello HPI
My name is Anthony Manzano from Pembroke Pines, Fla. Here are some pics of my Nitro MT w/F350 body. This is my 1st paint job and it was extremely easy to do, even for a novice like me. My wife gave me for Christmas a mini RC car. The toy ones that everyone was buying like hotcakes this last holiday at the malls. This sparked an interest in RC cars. In the last few months all my friends from work and I have bought cars. Now we get together often to race them. I've also included 3 pics with my friends trucks. Notice the T-MAXX has the Star Wars theme. This Nitro MT is my 1st car and its everything HPI says it is. Easy to start, easy to tune, easy to maintain. The 15FE engine has lots of power. This thing is very fast !! I do have a few upgrades on it.

-full ball bearings, even the steering rack
-Motosaver air filter
-New Era Header
-HPI high flow head #1731
-Lunsford turnbuckles and hinge pins
-RPM lower spring retainers
-RPM spacers
-Futaba Magnum Jr w/S3003 servos
-HPI black mesh wheels

Thanks HPI for making a great product.

Here are some pix of my 21 XTR 3E Desert Storm. An R/C Dealer told me that there were no other optional bodies for the XTR. As you can see I've fit a rather saucey Ford F-150 HPI 200mm Body to it. Well I guess I showed him :) Eat Your Heart out Chevy, I've got the best truck body on the market and the fastest off-road kit to go along with it!! Roy Alford, son of " The Great Roy Alford"

Here are the pictures of my HPI micro.I have had many HPI cars from gas touring to rally cars and the micro is the best of all. Ever since I got my micro I seem to be much more popular with the ladies...I just tell them "Why don't you come back to my house and see my Benz..." They love it!!! John

Hello this is my son Kenny Jr from Phoenix AZ. he is 3 years old and this is his second truck. he loves his savage and wants many more in the future. Thank You Kenny Sr AZ

Here are some pics of my box stock Micro RS4 (except the flashy foams). We race a great box stock class at our local track on Friday nights that is very competitive. This truck was painted by my good friend Dave over at www.bodywerx.net, he is not a Maple Leafs fan so I had to twist his arm a little to paint it but he finally gave in. I think it represents my team very well!!

Hello HPI,

Congratulations for the great job you make by conceiving such terrific RC cars. I have bought recently a MicroRS4 and what a surprise: how can a so small car go so fast?!?

Here is the description I can make of my RS4:

"One of the most impressive series car of the world ... the Viper GTSR for one of the best RC car of the world ... the HPI MicroRS4. Thanks HPI."

An HPI satisfied fan, best regards,
