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!!!

Hpi…
Thought I’d submit this picture of my savage in the air.
I was quite proud of these jumps, this truck is amazing. I’ve
just gotten into Nitro, and I don’t think there could’ve
been a better truck to get. I love this thing!!!
