Joshua Kameyer from Los Angeles, CA. I'm 28 and ran electric off-road in my teens, but the thrill of R/C never left me, and neither did my old cars which all still run! This here is an HPI Nitro RS4 3 Type SS, my first Nitro car, with the HPI Lotus Elise 200mm body. I used Pactra Flourescent Orange and backed it with Pactra Indy Silver. All the pics were shot with my Canon Powershot S200 Digital Elph camera and taken with my Mac through remote capture. The lighting was done with gels over a halogen above and an incandescent practical below a glass surface. The pic with the car driving is a composite of a performance road I shot up at Boyle Ranch in Simi Valley, and the SS altered in Photoshop 7.0. The neon looking car was also created in Photoshop 7.0.

Anyway, thanks HPI for a fun car and a community of racers to reignite my R/C excitement.

Hi, I’m Rocky Jagir, from Sacramento, CA, and here are some pictures of my HPI Nitro MT. I have air brushed my Dodge 1500 body Fassky Blue. I have also added the Nitro MT Racer wheels which look awesome. I have been racing r/c cars for 3 years now and nothing comes close to the build quality and performance right out of the box like HPI products.

Hpi, I've tried the different tones and decals, but a stock look is so attractive. My latest projoect will be a Porsche 911 Turbo, yellow on black wheels with a yellow trim ring on the outside, sounds good? These are shots of my three best bodies so far. {RRPM}

My name is Derick and these are some pictures of my Micro RS4 Porsche 911 Turbo. The paintjob is all done the old fashion way using a paintbrush. The base color is Outlaw Black, I have a 45t modified motor ran by a custom 1100 NiMh battery back, chromed rims and pleny more! I am planning to buy more bodies to build up on my painting skills and much more modifications, which will make my HPI run smooth and clean with style. Thanks for considering and reviewing.

These are pictures of my brand new HPI RTR Nitro RS4 3. This is my first gas powered r/c car and I love it. HPI makes it easy for firstimers to understand what goes where in their manuals. The first picture is of my new Supra body, the body that came with the rs4 3 was trashed and I never got a chance to take a picture of it. Another one of my cars is this Nitro TC3 from Associated Electronics. Although there are more hop-ups out of the box for it. Breaking it in and Tuning it was worst then the RS4 3.

Think you can do better? See our R/C Photography Tips and send us your pictures!
