This is my HPI Sprint RTR with the 190mm BMW M3 body. The Black rims and treaded tires made a huge difference in handling and give it a mean look. Runs great out of the box, haven't felt the need to replace anything.. yet!

Hi, Im Jhon Jaranilla from Fontana, CA, and I have this HPI Nitro RS4 RTR 3 with a HPI Honda Integra Type R painted with blue streak. I just put a HPI high performance air filter, and a 2 speed transmission in it, and its faster than before, and im planning on changing my engine soon. Thanx HPI for a fun car, and i hope you guys are coming out with new designs soon.


Hello, this is my HPI Nitro RS4 Racer, my first Nitro-Powered car. I'm very proud of this car, and have had it for years, ever since it was first released. It's still equiped with the O.S. .12 CVX engine & pull start that came with it! I've taken great care to get all the power I can and run safe! The car is monitored by temperature gauges and constant overhauls to insure efficiency and performance. After finding a lot I could actually race it in, I decided to upgrade it! This included:

* O' Donnell Engine Cooling Head
* Dynamite Pipe
* HPI Air Filter
* HPI 2-speed Transmission
* HPI Racing Clutch
* HPI Racing Foam Tires

And 2 separate bodies, a black Lamborghini Diablo, and a Red with black trim Pontiac Trans Am, both trimmed and cut by myself. This car and setup have done me well, and it gives me great pleasure to start it immediately while my competitors mess with their Traxxas "Easy-Starts", haha. Any error this fine vehicle makes is because of something I the driver did.

Hello,

My name is Paul Smith and I am from Davison, MI. I have just recently purchased an HPI Savage 21 kit and I love it. I have added my custom painted Hummer H2, body to it and plan many hop-ups for this kit. It runs great and I am very impressed for my first nitro kit. Keep up the good work HPI!

I also have an electric kit, with assorted HPI parts on it. It is equipped with my custom painted HPI C5 corvette body and HPI chrome wheels and Yokohama X-treaded tires with hard foam molded inserts. I also run a Terry Labonte paint scheme on an HPI Chevrolet Monte Carlo (slixx decals) with HPI slicks (hard foam rear, med. foam in front) and stock car rims. It is fast and it is fun.

Thanks and enjoy the pictures,

Paul

I am a regional service representative for Mercedes-Benz USA, my Savage equipped with this M-Class body is a real hit at the Benz dealers I am responsible for. You should see it inside a service department jumping brake rotors and exhaust hoses, quite a spectacle! The smell of nitro, and the noise level add to the excitement, a real crowd pleaser! Great truck, the savage...well balanced and equipped, nice package! Mods: Hi-Tech steering servo, hi-flow air filter, H/D dogbones, and reverse.

Thanks for the great R/C experience,
