Hey guys,
My name is Steve Phemister (aka RallySteve) from Beaverton, Oregon and here’s my submission for this months HPI Racer Gallery. It’s an HPI RS4 e-Rally chassis (lowered for tarmac) topped by an HPI Mitsubishi Lancer V WRC body. I used a custom mix of Parma Fascolor paints for the green and accented the body with Faspearl White and charcoal graphics. The body has many modifications including a full 3D interior tray complete with dashboard, steering wheel, seat w/ harness, NOS bottle and fire extinguisher. The outside has mesh work on all intakes and vents, intercooler, wipers, mirrors, disk brakes w/ calipers, a drifting wing, an aluminum exhaust and a full set of LED lights w/ fixtures. The body is affixed to the chassis using rare earth magnets so no body pins are needed. This project spanned a few stress-filled weeks to finish, but a fair amount of the detail parts were fabricated beforehand, due to other projects I had completed in the past. I hope you enjoy my “Lancer EVO V Drifter”! -RS |

Hi my name is Francis from CA. I have a few pictures
of my HPI micro RS4 with a Castrol Mugen NSX paint scheme. This
was an airbrushed paint job using Pactra paints (rally green,
outlaw black, racing red, and sprint white). I have also painted
the 5 spoke HPI micro rims with rally green to add some color.
Most decals came from the original decal sheet that came with
the NSX. I made all other necessary decals. The car is mainly
stock, I am still using 4 AA's, stock motor, LRP Quantum Pro ESC,
KO Propo servo, JR R1 radio system. Options include rear HPI ball
differential, Front aluminum CVD's, Aluminum front pulley, and
HPI servo saver set. Accessories include HPI concourse kit (2)
so I can use the dual exhaust. HPI LED light kit is still in the
works. Please send any questions or emails to impulseboy738@netzero.net
Thank You

picture of all my bodies that I have done in the past (except
2 that are thrashed) I have a RS4 3 SS with a .12 Nova Rossi
and a Serpent 6000 that I got to go 120 MPH!! Hope you like
the pictures. Thanks. |

| These are some pictures of my new HPI Nitro RS4 MT. I hope you
like them. It is very fast but I have not found out exactly how
fast. I decided to make the body an American flag but with chrome
instead of white. It is stock but I hope to get some aluminum
parts for it and some other stuff. It is my first nitro and it
is allot easier to use and start than I thought it would be. For
more information visit www.digitaliscool.com |
