Hello to all the HPI crew and gurus,

My name is Adrian Amjadi and i live in Torrance California, and this is my submission to the racers gallery. It is a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V Rally RS4 in its WRC get up. I found out about this gallery a little while ago and used it as motivation to get back into r/c. I have learned alot in the couple of months on and off that i have worked on this car. I have found out how much i really missed r/c and how cool and fun this car is to drive. I cant believe that i didnt drive this car the entire time i was away at school (would have been a good stress reliever!). Anywho i started with very simple stock hand me down electronics, nothing special, and ya dont need rip roaring equipment to have a blast in the dirt! first painted up the shell, including the big racing strips and many of the logos. Then i made some stickers and bought some to make the car exactly how i wanted it. Then i just went nuts and hand made everything you could imagine on the car from the wheels valve caps to the antennas on the roof. Alot if not most of it is made from for sale signs, those things are made of fantastic plastic. The brake calipers were a challenge to keep in place while the rotors spun, but it finaly worked, and there are actually LED's behind the rotors that simulate glowing disks under extreme braking. When the car is set up for night driving those 8 headlights are silly wicked fun. But the most fun came from snagging a cammera, learning how to take pics and setting the car on a piece of thick cardboard and saw horses and making a mock scene. The car is actually moving in each scene whether is held some what in place or travelling a very short distance, and as far as retouching goes it was used to mainly get rid of blemeshes that i didnt notice were there when i took the pic and some nifty enhancements. Funny thing is i really like photography now. And yes the car sees alot of action, even if half the damage was from taking the pics....what a riot! What a fantastic r/c i hope rally gets big!

take care
Adrian Amjadi
ps drive it like someone else bought it!


Webmaster's note: I almost didn't let this one through because, at first glance, I thought they were photos of a real Lancer... =P Great job!

T'was the week before Christmas, and as I wrote, Not a wheel was spinning, not even a bolt. The screws were tighten to the chassis with care but the weather outside was more for a polar bear.

The fuel was filled and the carb was well fed While visions of high speeds raced though my head. The glow plug was charged and ready to go, but all I could see out the window was snow.

The bodies were all masked and waiting for paint, And airbrush primed, and I could hardly wait, To laydown some fresh looks, to wow my peeps but the paint was frozen, and a screamed a few beeps.

So I shot a few snaps of my newest creation and sent it to HPI without hesitation. With new stock car wheels and air filter to boot, When the snow melts, I'm sure to have a hoot

With lightbar from RAM, and custom masks, "How'd you do that?" all my friends ask. I tell them I reason for this design so I don't have to listen to then whine

A tribute to the men in blue, to who all we have a debt just a little reminder, so that we won't forget.

NRS4 RTR Chevy Camaro SS Body

Hi -

I would like to submit these recent photos of my HPI Nitro RS4 3 Type SS. I just completed a total makeover which included new wheels/tires from the HPI Vintage line. I also added the HPI '68 Camaro body that is painted and decaled to represent a weekend racer that could be driven daily. I used Pactra Indy Silver and black paint to keep things simple.

Best regards,
Ashley Jones

Hey I'm back with a new HPI ESCALADE body with all kinds of painting trixxx (hand brushing,masking,gosting,fading & pic glueing)on my Savage SS,along with other mods like road rage 40's with spiners,aluminum towers & A-arms. Last year the "Prince of egypt" won hopefully this year the "DA KING A BLING" will win!!!
