This is one of my best efforts in a car and also best pic .This car is my Baby...fully loaded with all Hpi hop ups ! and a few others not many , mostly hpi . I run a Trinity D-5 motor with novak electronics . This car might be old ,but I am still killin'em at the tracks I race . Can't wait for the pro 4 ..I changed headlights alter the look . i would love for this pic to be a desktop for hpi .See I made pic of the month last month with my savage el camino classic ....so please do not pick mine this month . I think a chevy Trailblazer LTZ would be awsome for the savage.

Hi all, here are a few pictures showcasing the latest beast improvements from the Bash Brothers. The Purple Ford Savage21 is owned and operated by my brother Kevin. After just 3 months of bashing my Red Dodge, he decided it was his turn to bash out an insane Savage. He spent countless hours critiquing every last detail. I am very excited to show off these insane machines. Our next big upgrade will be the power plants. Hope you all enjoy.
Thank you HPI for assembling one awesome RC.
Michael and Kevin Piña

Hi my name is Chris Clark of Albuquerque NM, I am seventeen right now I have an electric rustler and a team associated RC10GT, and what you see in the picture is my HPI RS4 3 type SS w/ Saleen body in my HPI I have a number of up grade parts such as:

My custom fitted .21 Trinity Rossi Maranello engine w/2.3 hp a MIP boost bottle front and rear one-way diffs. a custom torque tuned pipe, fiber disk brake, custom adapted gears from a Mad force, the tires you see smoking are the stock hpi X-pattern

This car was clocked at 73.96 mph and has 9.5 foot pounds of torque put to the ground at all four corners. Well that’s about all the upgrade part I’ll list thanks HPI you’re doing great.

Hi HPI, This is my Hpi 200 mm Skyline GT-R R34 body on my RS4 3ss kit, completely stock, except engine, fuel tubing and foam tires. I sent in these pictures because I'd like to show how nice a body can turn out with just 2 spaycans of paint, scissors and a body reamer...I used plain orange for the body itself and metallic black for the spoiler...I think it turned out just fine. Just the way I like it. This is the 5th Hpi body I created, and there will be so much more to come...at least, if you keep making great bodies ;)

I wish all you guys at Hpi all the best, and continue the great work.

Greetings,

Attached is a pic of my brand spanky new HPI SAVAGE 25! I had just finished braking in the awesome 25 engine and decided it was time for a little photo shoot! I plan to keep it pretty much stock, except for the addition of a DYNAMITE RACE GUARD, a full set of skid guard protectors and the KILLER HPI EL CAMINO body as shown. I went with "OUTLAW BLACK" for the body and added some HOT looking FLAMED pin-striping on the sides! SWEET!

Hope you guyz like it as much as I do!

;)

p.s.
I named my truck, "BILLY BOB", short for: "'BILLY BOB BADASS"!


I'm Noah Leyco from Orange County, CA. Here's are some pictures of my Porsche Super Nitro. There's not much spunk in the paint and design of the car. But the trick is....make it look like the real one! You don't get to see much of stock looking cars nowadays. This car also has hop-ups to the max....HPI rules!!!

Greetings from the EASTCOAST,
This is my second body that I painted and the first time I entered in the HPI Challenge 2002 which was held in NY. I started out with a RTR RS4 nitro with a Porche body, all green and it was fun for a while. Then I move on to electric no mess, no hassle easy to work with unlike with nitro. Well, the Altezza was an inspiration from playing Gran Turismo 2 and I did my research on the japanese web and JGTC (Japan Gran Touring Car Championship) and finally found the Espelir Gialla race car. I wanted to make a replica of the Espelir because it was unique and different from the rest. Besides the paint scheme was HOT and it was a perfect project to work on instead of the regular paint scheme and slapping on decals. I was very pleased with the outcome of the car and had high hopes that it was going to make it to the concourse. But it went unrecognized and so I ended just have a good time. "Next year" was my motto hopefully next year my car will make it and hope that I can improve my driving. And it happened, more on that next month. Hope that you enjoy my work and there is more to come. DRIFTING HKS S15. GOT DRIFT?

How’s it going HPI? Just in time for Holloween. I’ve got my RS4 MT about four months ago, but I didn’t like the choices I had for the bodies. I’m not a Ford, or Dodge man. But I was really impressed with the Savage 21 bodies. My choice is the HPI "70 El Camino. I’m a machinist so the body post extensions are made of aluminum to let the body clear the shock towers, and face the hood pins forwards the clear the blower. The motor is a Novak 5800. I love my HPI!!!
