Hello HPI people,
I’m Matt Mitchell from Gilroy, CA with my latest creation. It is an HPI Pro 3 with a HPI BMW M3 body. It is the first time that I used an air brush on a body and It turned out great. I picked a pin striping theme and ran with it. With help from My uncle Mike Farley we worked on painting it with House of Kolor paint. After I was done with the designs Mike hand pin striped around them making this body very unique. Thank you HPI for a great product and thank you Mike Farley for an outstanding job on helping me with my body.

Hi my name is Peter. I'm from Switzerland and a Hobbydriver. Since a few years I own two Electric Cars. But I wasn't happy cause I missed the sound and smell, wich a real car makes. The other thing is that I was tired to load batteries again and again. So I was looking for a Nitro and found a lot of fans of HPI. The dealer of my hometown also told me that HPI is a great solution. What you see on my pics is the result of a few nights in my cellar. My NITRO RS4 RTR 3 is an airbrush paintjob using superwhite, black, metallic blue, red, orange, neon yellow and silver for covering. I hope you like it.

This is my Saleen Mustang, it is crazy. I have no idea what color it is!?!??! I used pactra metallic red, then indy silver over it, either its purple or red, i have no idea. Well i also through in some other stuff, like custom wing and diffuser I built out of aluminum siding. They look cool, hopefully they are effective when I put the car to use!?!?!

Hey,
My name is Curtis, and these babies are mine
The blue viper and black/silver mercedes are my bodies, on my RS4, the Stratus is my fathers. The finer points: The mercedes is silver that fades to black, thru diamond shaped objects, the viper was my first body and only uses a metalic blue paint job, and the stratus is silver to black that uses diagonal lines to switch from the one colour to the next, tricked out wheels, eh!
im canadian LOL

To HPI RACING,

Hello my name is Ted Sarmiento and I'm from Staten Island, New York. The following pictures attatched are of my HPI Nitro RS4 3. The quality, detail and workmanship of your company and the products you make are by far the BEST. - no holds barred. I am constantly encouraging my friends to buy HPI cars & products because you guys have totally transformed this hobby.
As far as my car goes: I have a Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R body painted 2-tone Blue & Silver, and an Audi TT quattro painted custom silver. So far my hop-ups are THS Racing Aluminum Tuned pipe & Header, HPI Air Filter, HPI 2 Speed Tranny, BPRacing Bi-Level Racing wing on the skyline - does at least 40-45!! I frequently race on the weekends at the local tracks, and i must say, i love the performance out of this thing [still stock engine!] its awesome!!! This is only the beginning, within the months im planning to put a brand new engine, FM transmitter/reciever, shocks, the works. I hope these make it into the gallery, and HPI keep doing what your doing!!!!!

P.S. - yea thats me in one of the pictures. =)

HPI Crew,

Hi!, My name is Manuel Badiola and I am stationed at Misawa, Japan. This is my first Nitro RS4 3 with a Lambo body (my fav) painted with Spaz Stix change color paint. I modified the exhaust to conform to the HPI detail of rear twin pipes. Also, I cut out and installed front and rear functional vents.

Thanks HPI for making great products that I always look forward to seeing!!!
