This is my latest project. It is a Hummer Militia body painted with a sparkling black main color, and white lightning bolts that have a blue glow. But, to top that off I added a custom 57 light set. This set has everything - head lights, working brake lights, working reverse lights, changing color top bar lights, side rail lights, wheel lights, and even some under glow lights. This project made the already awesome Savage 21, all the more awesome. | ||||||
| Hey My Name Is James Simpson From Eaglescliffe England And I'm 14.
This is my stock Nitro RS43 Nothin done to it yet but its a fun quick car and theres lots to come. I've ordered a 2 speed gear box and a tuned pipe but i'm still waiting on them. The shells HPI make are really detailed and look great to the eye unlike the protoform shells which all look the same. Keep up the good work. And hope to work for youin later years. |

ever RC car about two years ago. I have since gotten addicted to RC
and have 2 other cars. An HPI Sprint and a Micro RS4. Here is a link
to my website that lists all the modifications I have done to the
car! http://www.fabianhome.com/rc/index.htm Thank you for posting my car on your website!!! Sincerely, David Fabian |

| This is my Savage SS with my Hummer H2 skin. Great truck. Tons o'
fun. I'm 36 and this is my first nitro. My first attempt at paint
and building. My brother-in-law got me hooked with his Savage 21.
I have some modifications done and some planned for the future. Current
mods are a second fuel tank and a second heat sink (both are not pictured
here). I also modified the throttle/brake linkage. Future mods include
a 3 shoe clutch, the 4 spider gear differential mod and a dual disc
brake system. Hop-ups include Hot Bodies aluminum threaded shocks
(w/ 40 weight oil), hobbico exhaust deflector, GPM silver aluminum
center skid and tank guard, Lunsford titanium turnbuckles, Venom fail-safe,
6v rechargeable receiver pack, hi-tec 153 oz metal gear steering servo,
reverse module, roto-start, fuel filter and new purple fuel lines.
Future hop-ups include, Pro-line Outback Weld 40 series wheels, Big
Joe tires, 6 lb 16 turn springs for the rear, 3 stage air filter and
assorted bling items as time and money permit. I also will add the
aluminum adapters from Savage Central that allow the Outback wheels
to be mounted on a Savage. The SS will stand for Super Sweet after
I'm done. Thanks. W. Scott Williams |

| Dear HPI,
I am a great fan of your products and this is my Nitro Rs4 3 type SS equipped with an Acura RSX body converted into a type R. I am upgrading it to drift and so far it is at D1 Grand Prix level. I plan to upgrade body to a Toyota Supra and add a different tuned pipe. My wild future dreams for this car (WILL actually fabricate and install if I get more money) are to either add a hydraulic suspension or airbag system and install a Mitsubishi 43cc engine from a motor scooter . The modifications made to this Rs4 include: Dubro green fuel tubing |

| My name is Jonathon Levie and this is my micro. I am
running a Novak sky and a custom 7.4v battery pack on a custom chassis.
The motor I run used to be a big block until I found an airplane motor
that fit on the big block motor plate that even came with a whoping
19t pinion. Thank you for such great cars! Sincerely, Jonathon Levie |

| This is my most recent acquisition, it a nitro RS4 MT.
I wish, I had a before shot and a list of everything, that had to
Be replaced. When I bought the car (from an ad in the Seattle Times)
it was very dirty, covered in mud, not an issue though, I Love to
tear down my cars to clean them after a race and rebuild. This one
though did not work in my favor. The kid that I purchased It from
abused the car so bad, that the only thing that was not replaced Was
the ‘Main Chassis’ and the ‘Titanium turn buckles’.
It was a fun Rebuild but a disaster to the check book!!! Financially
I will be feeling this one for a while (thank god I have a fiancé
that supports my r/c habit). It has a O.S. 15, w/ a tuned pipe/ Basically everything had to be replaced, And 350.00 dollars later (excluding original purchased price). After all this, I have…A REALLY NICE AND FAST NITRO MT. HPI You make a great truck. I haven’t run my Nitro Stampede Since I got this truck, and I loved my Stampede. I also enjoy the RS4 RTR that I own. Joshua Steenmeyer |
