Everyone loves a hot body… HPI has just launched three new shells for your road racing rides. The BMW M3 GT2, SCION XB, and the 1970 Dodge Challenger all come clear, for you to paint up any way you want. They come with photo realistic die-cut premium vinyl decals, over spray film, and pre-cut window masks. The BMW and Dodge [...]

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you were to take a full scale car, shrink it down to 1/10 scale, then take that and blow it up back to full scale? Well, what you see above may be a pretty close approximation. HPI, along with Scion, Five Axis, and various others conspired to build this custom Scion xB, [...]
As promised, here’s a bunch of pics of what is sure to be a big hit for the gang at HPI.

We first saw the SavageXS Flux at Nuremberg. Now here it is stateside. While it’s still in prototype form, the word from RCX is that it should be hitting mid-summer. It’ll come from the factory RTR, with a waterproof 2.4 GHz radio system, Flux brushless system, and a top speed on 3S of about 60 MPH. I’ll be posting more [...]
Looking for a new 1/10th scale stadium truck? HPI may have what you are looking for.

The truck also comes with 8.4v 3300mah battery pack, [...]
Budget radios are everywhere these days and HPI is not one to be left out of the fun. Their TF-20U radio, which has been the 2.4 GHz pack-in radio for many of their RTRs, is now available separately. Being a budget radio it’s not big on features, having only 2 channels, a steering dual rate switch, throttle and steering trims, [...]
How often have you been sitting around saying to yourself “boy, if only my sedan had a Boss 302 body, my life would be complete…” I’m guessing not often, most of you probably rank other things as more important to having a fulfilled life. Not me though, I’m a straight up, unrepentant consumer. If it’s shiny or new, I must [...]
RTR Sucks. I said it, and I don’t feel bad for saying it. So any time I hear of a kit version of any vehicle being released I jump for joy. HPI has long been cool about releasing their Baja 5 line as a kit version, so their new Baja 5SC SS comes as no surprise. Just like all the [...]
Another announcement from the HPI camp at the big German toy fair is an update to the Savage X 4.6. Quite a bit has been changed in this new version, it now comes with a 2.4 GHz radio system, waterproof servos, a new body style with all new graphics, and most importantly more durable diff gears with a larger tooth [...]
HPI is taking their ultimate basher and scaling it down. Right now they are referring to it as the “Small Scale” Savage. It’s a completely new design for 2011 and features the looks and style it’s big brother. The chassis is that familiar Savage TVP design, the drive train is shaft driven 4wd with metal gears, and the electronics package [...]
From the people that fueled the mini craze with their Mirco RS4’s, HPI is introducing the RS32! This is a 1/32 scale vehicle, it comes RTR with a 2.4Ghz radio, charger, battery, a few extra gears and anything else you may need. This first vehicle (I’m sure there are more styles on the way) comes with the Calsonic Nissan Skyline body. [...]
The HPI Switch made some waves a couple years ago when it was first announced. It’s design was a major departure from the typical on-road chassis with it’s McPherson Strut style suspension and being front wheel drive. But then it seemed to disappear. Some places still have the original Switch in stock in limited quantities, but it even fell off [...]
Geezus, one minute I am polishing off some very snappy Dom 98′ to ring in 2010 (followed by a Very strong La Flora Dominicana Chisel), and suddenly I look up and I’m writing the last Cub Report of the year. My oh my does time fly when you are pwn’n the rc media world. Because I’m a creature of habit, I [...]
The folks from Exotek just released a new chassis brace for the HPI Blitz. Any time a company shows a little love towards the Blitz it makes me smile. The new brace strengthens one of the weaker points on the chassis and helps prevent the front from damage. They are available in orange or black. [...]
