This is my submission of the HPI Racing gallery

Name: Scott
From: Barrie, Ontario
Car: NRS4 RTR3
Body: Dodge Viper GTS-R

This is my first but certainly not last HPI Nitro car. I am new to the hobby and I love the quality and availability of the HPI parts, plus the instructions make it easy (even for me) to install the parts. This is my first attempt at painting a body. I went with the new MOPAR racing look and took ideas from the MOPAR drift car. I love the barbed wire graphic. All the graphics are painted using handmade masks with the exception of the supplied decals. With amount of detail the body and supplied decals have, it makes it easy to create any look from ultra-realistic to a wild, unique car. Finally, I would like to say thanks to the local hobby shops for all their help and advice, they really helped out this rookie with way to many questions.

Thanks HPI

P.S. Keep making those vintage on-road bodies (More MOPAR). American muscle rules!

Hello HPI,
I'm fourteen and this Nitro Rush was my third RC car. It's won me many first place ribbons at the local track. The body is the stock Rush body and the wheels are Universal Five Stars. I have installed just about every performance option I could think of on this truck, minus the graphite upper deck. I control it with a JR XS3 and a JR metal gear servo for steering. The engine is an O.S. .15cv-x with a Powerline cooling head, Nitro Racing Clutch, and Lightweight Flywheel. This thing rocks now. Keep up the good work.

This is pretty much a stock SS, other than the wheels, tires and bronco body.
