Hi HPI!! you guys totally rock.

My name is Jason Hood from Eugene Oregon "Home Of the DUCKS". This is my HPI SAVAGE 21, It is the best truck I have seen or had the pleasure of driving/working on/tuning/rebuilding. It is by far the best for taking punishment. I have tuned it and added a few things to it to make it very fast.

Things added are a Hot Bodies tuned pipe and then just about all the HPI upgrades you guy's have come out with. Adding step pins or bowties is one of they key's for speed on the track too.
We are just forming a club here in Eugene called R/C SUPERCROSS and we have 2 acres donated for five years. We are hoping to get to the point of having sanctioned races up here in 2004.

I also have a HPI RUSH and soon to be the owner of the new R40.

So keep up the awesome work you guys do.

always Racin Jason

Attached to my email are pictures of my Micro RS4 and my Savage 21. The Savage's pictures were shot at my local track. Hop-ups are limited to an Ofna Hyper 8 Port, RB Concepts 86 pipe, titanium dog bones, titanium brake disc, aluminum brake disc adaptor, JR Racing steering servo, Maximizer Beadlock Wheels, Proline Bow-Tie tires. The body is an HPI Bronco.

The Micro RS4 is equiped with a Futaba speed control, Graupner Speed 300 motor, and aluminum knuckles. The body is an HPI Nissan Sylvia. Shortly after the pictures were taken the Savage was traded for an Ofna 1/8 scale buggy. I hope that there is an HPI 1/8 scale buggy idea being kicked around so that I can continue my collection. Your product and tech support are incredible. Thank you for making this hobby so enjoyable.

Dear HPI,
Here are a few pictures of my Super Nitro Rally with the Impreza body. It has been my third nitro car, and by far the best. It is extremely durable, has had no serious problems, and is a blast to drive. I have put many option parts on it, and it has become a serious racing machine. I love seeing the expressions on peoples faces when I beat their XXX-NT around the track! Thanks for making such a great car, I am very pleased with my purchase. -MarK

Hey! Hey! what's happening HPI and HPI fans. This is my HPI Super Nitro Suzuki Escudo made for road use only. But it's not only special for its on road use, it GLOWS. Pretty fancy isn't it, I like to keep it pretty simple. Any who I hope you liked my car and maybe I can get some more of my cars in the gallery.

Keep it Fresh and thank you

This is my HPI RS4 3 kit, with chrome rims and NSX body. Many upgrades, but none visible in photo, got this up to about 68 mph with a radar gun.


Please accept the pictures of my Audi TT Quatro 4WD.I bought this great little car only last week.So as you can see I cut out the back window so that I can quickstart my car.I also did not use the backspoiler so it is a street version and not the DTM version. And have bought special chrome wheels so that the car has a nice look.

greetings from the Netherlands.
