Hey i send you some cool pictures of my R40 with Mercedez Body C32, mugen Mt12 engine, servos Futaba 9402 and the Novak frecuency changer. The car is perfectly balance in acceleration and braking. I think is one of the best R/C's in the market today if you are in some true racing enviroments.

Dear HPI,
This is a picture of my R/C gas powered Chevy Camaro SS. It is a blast to drive and very fast. The motor is a 15 F.E. nitro star and the car goes about 50 mph and it's a screamer. The kit and extras cost over $400 dollars and it was worth it. On the picture, you see a replica of my mom's real Anniversay Camaro SS with my R/C Camaro. Hope you'll pick it!! More power to HPI, keep building great products such as the Camaro SS!

Hi,
My name Eric, I'm in quebec canada and just wanted to add a few pics of my savage SS with a cut body from my old savage 21, I hope you like how it turned out. I must say that these trucks are simply awsome and supply us with countless hours of pure pleasure. Thanks to HPI for great products and what I consider to be the BEST after sale customer support, you guys are realy a class apart, next to the word " great" in a dictionary should be your company logo.

regards,
Eric


Hello, my name is Justin Jacobsen and I have owned my Rush for quite a while now. I had dropped the rc hobby for awhile until my friend Brett got me back into it. My Rush is raced weekly and here are the hopups.
Rpm Ballcups, HPI graphite upper deck, Hotbodies aluminum threaded shocks, HPI aluminum transmission brace, CVEC tuned pipe, Duratrax universal driveshafts, and Proline Dirt Hawg tires. It is powered by an OS .15 CV-X. Oh yeah, the squirrel tail makes it go faster. I painted the body myself with an airbrush. Thanks HPI!

Hello HPI
I have been buying & racing your cars for 6 years and truly love your products. Here are some pictures of 2 out of 12 HPI cars that I have. The BMW is one of my favorits while the truck is a true monster. I used the F150 body to cover the electric "TUBED CHASSIS" drag racing car.

Nice huh!

Thanks HPI!!

These are the pictures of the latest body I purchase for my micro which would be my fifth (as you can see on the group photo with my brother's micro and his bodies). It might not be that visible but the paint job is actually made of two shade of pearl green (pale on top shifting to dark on the side). I also
put a double exhaust system on it and I cut the bumper to put a real front grid as you can see on the photos. Hope to see other new bodies and accessories coming out for the micro.

Thanks

The other photos are of the nissan silvia GT which is almost like the one you display on you site exept for the black line I made on the side panels and for the shape of the wing which I taught was too large. It gives it a more linear shape. It is actually the first body that I paint like a race car. Me I my brother both have micro rs4 and with the hpi race cones we bought we go once a week to race in the parking of a store to race. With good batteries we can make races of almost one hour long.

Thanks

Hello everyone,

My name is Hernando, and I live in Los Angeles, CA. Here are some pics of my HPI Super Nitro RTR. This is my first time RC racing and making body modifications. I bought the car with the Viper body but I bought the Lamborghini body just for show. I still love the way both look at night. I made the light kits from LED’s and flashlight bulbs (on the Viper).

Dear HPI,

Enclosed is a HPI 1/10 RTR nitro car I purchased in 1999. After putting quite a few hours of fun time on it and even demolished by a full size car. I decided to restore my HPI car. This time I redesigned the car to an LSU Theme car for my dad and his grandchildren.

The car is virtual stock except for the Duratrax manifold and tuned pipe.The chassis was sprayed with a bright Carney yellow and the wheels are coated with a metallic silver. I really fell in love with the Lotus shell and had to shoot it with a plum purple paint. My Dad Loves his LSU Theme car by HPI and his grand kids are looking at HPI on the internet.

Thanks,

Harve Hutchinson

Hi HPI My name is Jim and this is my Pro 3, with a HPI Honda S2000, and Z3 inner body kit. Hpi has stopped manufacturing the Z3 inner body. So when I contacted them I had to persuade them to find me a inner body. Well they came through, but with no decals. I made the gauge decal set. Then I modified the kit to better fit the body. I moved the antenna to follow the inside lines of the windshield. I moved the rear mount's, so the post went through both bodies to better hold them together. The wheels are the nearst to original that I could find. Thanks HPI.
