Hey Guys,

My name is Bhavik Patel (better known as "The Hindu"). I'm from Novato, CA. Here I have some pictures of my HPI RS4-2 with my newest body, the HPI M3 GTR Widebody painted with 3 coats of Pactra Indy Silver. The car features a custom mounted .21 OS Hyper CV-X Engine, upgraded front and rear body shocks, a new slide carb, and an polished aluminum body chassis.

This is the Super Nitro that i race on a regular basis from april to october. the silver body has been retired, however, the yellow/white body is a constant sight on the track.....for reference i used two pics of two different views on the actual #3 and #4 car of the C-5 R. just recently was the 50th Anniversary Corvette celebration in Nashville, TN. the yellow/white body has been retired due to being signed by one of the drivers of the actual C-5 R. i think both pics are awesome and hope you enjoy them as much as i enjoyed taking them.
thanks!
