Dear HPI staff:
I am sending 6 pictures of my HPI Nitro RS4 RTR 3. All the deacals were custom made. It was done with 3M Scotchlite Reflective sheet. All pictures were taken with a digital camera, some with the flash on and others not. That´s the reason why the color of the reflective changes. Name: Fernando Elizondo Bond I AM NEW AT THE RC HOBBIE, AND I LOVE IT. THANKS !!!! |

BILLY`S HPI RS4-3, I AM A NYC POLICE OFFICER. I AM ABOUT
TO RETIRE AND NEEDED A HOBBY, I ALWAYS LIKED THE NITRO CARS SO WHEN
I PICKED THIS ONE UP. I PUT A COUPLE OF HOP UPS INTO MY CAR. FIRST
I PUT IN THE TWO SEED TRANSITION, RACING CLUTCH AND THE .18 MOTOR
WITH A BIGGER AIR FILTER. THE CAR RUNS VERY FAST NOW, YOU CAN HEAR
THE TRANSITION GO FROM FIRST TO SECOND.THEN I MADE THIS PD LOOK ALIKE.
IF THE NYPD HAD MERCEDES-BENZ PATROL CARS MAYBE I WOULD STAY ON A
LITTLE LONGER
THANKS BILL FROM LONG ISLAND...:) |
Although not an HPI car, this scratch-built Nitro car certainly deserves some attention! my name is ben schnebli and i live in the blue mountains, nsw,
australia chassis: all 4mm aluminium chassis and shock towers built from
scratch and designed by me the car has extremly good excelleration with anot bad top speed.
im running foam tyres and it will spin all four wheels of the line.
its quite a bit hevier than a nitro car as it weighs around 3.5
to 4kg. |

a stock motor with a bigger head and some exhaust modifications with
a tunned pipe. I just recently ordered these rims and tires and the
F-150 body. I really enjoy your products. Thanks for the hours and
hours of fun. Jeff |

| I am 15yr old Michael Strobel from upstate South Carolina. I bought a Nitro RS4 typeSS kit about five months ago. Since then i have costomized it with pro-line tires and rims, hpi honda prelude body, hpi's fastest gearing, exhaust headwork. But my most recent addition to my kit is my custom Cold Air Intake w/ Bypass Filter. After putting it on i saw incredible excelleration and top end perfomance. Before i put the intake on i clocked it at 75mph. Now it runs 87mph in 4 seconds. If i add any other mods i will post them. Oh, by the way, HPI rocks!! | |||||||

| Hi HPI, Attached are pictures of my Savage 21 (full stock) except for the shock absorbers & air cleaner. I absolutely love my truck. I am from Wixom, MI and I run my truck at Dirt Burner Racing in Commerce, MI and sometimes do some backyard bashing in the sub. I thought I'd give my theme for the pictures as "Toy vs. Real Serious-Savage Toy". Hope you'll pick it! More power to HPI, keep building good products such as the Savage! Thanks. Gio Pascua Wixom, MI |
