#RetailersFirst! Home runs next...
Hello again!
Well, from re-signing our own All-Star drifter to supplying
100’s of RS4 Sport 3 Drift cars for the Major League Baseball
Fan Fest, to meeting with dozens of hobby stores to talk
about how we can make HPI better for you, July was a
pretty big month for HPI!
In our first RE:FLUX newsletter, we told you about our mission
to rebuild the HPI
Racing brand from the ground up and that our immediate
priority in the coming months is not just to launch new
products, but more importantly to take care of our existing
fans. Making sure you can get spare parts to keep your HPI car on
the track (or in the air!) is our number one priority right now...
Well, today we can tell you that during July we shipped
over 320,000 spare parts around the world! Trust us that is a
LOT of spares! But we aren’t taking a
breather - we’re working 24/7 to return HPI Racing
back to being the BEST in the world for spares and
support!
Another of the key elements that makes HPI Racing awesome is our
big name partners, and none more so than World Champion
drifter and Monster Energy athlete Vaughn Gittin
Jr.! Vaughn’s signature HPI RC cars have been hugely
popular over the years, but that doesn’t mean we’re
going to simply continue churning out the same formula, no way!
We’ve been in the ideas lab for months, brainstorming
with professional fun-haver VGJR and his RTR crew, and we’re
stoked with how our combined masterplan is looking! Vaughn’s
re-signing will mean epic new products and rad
contests in the coming months and years!
In July, HPI was at the heart of an entirely different ball
game - with the Falken
Tires crew at the infamous Major League
Baseball Fan Fest! A five-day event, attended by thousands of
baseball fans during the Major League All-Star weekend in San
Diego, California. Over 10,000 fans got to try their hand at
drifting an HPI RS4 Sport 3 Drift on an awesome scale track built
by Super G
Drift.
Finally, we want to give our biggest shout-out to
all the hobby store owners and staff we met at
the HobbyTown convention in
Lincoln, Nebraska! The theme of the event was #RetailersFirst,
which is something really close to our
hearts. In fact, HPI firmly believes that
visiting your local
hobby store is the ultimate way to get the most out
of your HPI purchase! After all, what could be more
effective than putting your HPI pride and joy in the hands of an
expert to quickly diagnose an issue or find out how to make
your HPI product perform even better? You can find your
nearest store here, why not visit today and
say "Hi" from us!
