My name is Jeremy from the out skirts of Philadelphia. These are pictures of my new Dodge Viper GTS body. This is my first RC car and my second body I have ever painted. I used Pactra Racing Finish Paint in Blue Streak and Sprint White. I used the actual decal sheet from the body kit. I left off a couple of the decals to make the car less cluttered looking but included all the essentials. I added white HPI wheels as I thought it added an awesome touch. The car is pretty much stock with a few little upgrades. More to come in the near future.


This is my Savage (Bradley Hudson). I am using the stock engine with a Crazy Nut Racing Head, I also added the THS one piece tuned pipe, Racers Edge Crazy Duty Dogbones (rear), Hot Bodies Universals (front), a set of HPI Adjustable Upper Arms, and a Hitec 645MG servo. This truck is a screamer and it loves to get BIG AIR!!!! Thanks for a GREAT TRUCK HPI!!!!

 

Hello. I am Evan Schneider from Short Hills, New Jersey. This is my HPI RS4 3 SS with Mercedes C32 AMG Body. I love it! The SS kit is GREAT! I have so much fun just using it on my street. This is my favorite body that i have ever made. Its really good considering that I am only 12 years old.

These are pictures of my Nitro RS4 2, I like to call it a Type "SS" because I have removed the old .15 FE engine and upgraded to a Nitro Star .12R SS. My car is pretty much everthing HPI. I have installed front and middle belt tensionors, black Mesh SS wheels and HPI 26mm "M" compound Radial Tires. To get all the top end speed out of my car, I have added a 2 speed transmission with a 20/37 gear kit.

The only thing that really is not from HPI, is my JT Racing Front and Rear shock towers, the Rear Y brace they also supplied and my JR Racing XS-3 Radio System. The exhaust system has also been modified. I am running a MIP side header and a MIP Side Touring Car Tuned Pipe. I have finished off my car with a HPI Honda Integra Type R body that I have painted myself.I have made the roof scope out of a piece of sheet metal that is fully functional, and helps cool the engine. The front grill decal has been removed and I installed mesh screen. Inside the hood there is a piece of lexan that leds air toward the engine. I hope you like my car! :)

This is my Savage 21. I have got the early 50's Chevy pick-up body on it. I went to Handy Hardware to get some new, stiffer springs, and I got 4 of them, I took the old ones off and I put the new on and now I have 8 shock absobers and 4 springs. The new supention acts pretty well the same as the stock suspention, it just looks cooler with that body. Well, thank you HPI for making suck a remarkable product!

hi, im joe alpaugh, i live in nj and i love your bodys. this is my hpi f 150 body, it has my dog doing a trick in the backround.


Hey, this is my Porsche 911 Turbo body for my micro rs4, that I decided to experiment with leaving the hood and select areas of the car clear. When I originally painted the body the wheels and upper deck of the chassis where the original stock gunmetal color; I became rather bored with the design, so I went to the hobby shop and bought some rally green paint by pactra, not having much of an idea what to do with it. I had before that been experimenting with heavily packed dirt tracks in my backyard, which failed miserably, so when I got it all apart to clean it the idea came to me. I would paint the wheels the green and upper deck as well, and the suspension arms silver like the body. It actually came out better than it looks in the pictures.

First off, I would like to thank HPI for making such great car bodies that after finishing every little detail to make it real can and will be a perfection. This here is a Chevy Silverado 200mm body with most of the decals that was included. The body is a chrome shine by the new Fusion by Krylon. With the tribal flames, now that was a headache trying to cut it so carefully, is first coated with a Sprint Blue, then covered with Gloss White to finish it off. The body sits on top of the HPI RS4 3 with 5 star rims. It has no modifications yet for it was recentlly purchased. All paint job was done by spray cans, no airbrush or paint brush. I take a little bit more time in painting my bodies rather than running it, for now. Thank you.
