I just received the official flyer from Matt about the Silver Lake Baja Bash event. The event takes place June 19-21, 2009, in Mears Michigan. Looks like a good time. Lots of people ripping it up in the sand. For more information you can check out the HPI Baja Forums.
Is it just me or are there some really Fugly trucks being released this year? It might just be me, but it seems like 09′ is a banner year for ugly truck releases. I tell ya, every week there seems to be another one that tops the previous fugmaster. This week it happened to be the CEN Matrix SC truck. [...]
New from HPI Racing for your MT 2 is the Pre-Painted Dirt Force body! The bodies come in blue, or the standard HPI Orange/Red colors and are a good way to give that MT 2 a new look if you don’t want to get your hands messy!
This new Tuned Pipe and Steel Header combination for the HPI Racing Baja is one of those products that makes you want to do the Home Improvement Tim Allen man/dog barks… it just oozes ‘must have’ and ‘shiny!’ The set delivers extra durability, more power, and quicker throttle response then the stock stuff. The sound is louder [...]
New from HPI Racing is the Ford GT Pre-Painted body. It’s fits most of HPI’s on-road 200mm RC vehicles, and it looks pretty dang good! I just saw a real one of these driving on the street, and boy does it turn heads!
For all you real life monster truck fans, HPI Racing is now selling the RTR HPI Wheely Kings with exact R/C replica bodies of the popular Scarlet Bandit, Bounty Hunter, and Iron Outlaw. I’m a big fan of the Wheely King, and it’s cool to see it looking like a real monster!
Finally released is HPI’s newest Cup Racer with the incredibly real Datsun 510 body! I’ve seen this one up close and you wouldn’t believe the realism on it. HPI has hit the mark with their True Ten Scale concept, which is to replicate the real cars as they are in real life – in width, height, [...]
And who said the Red Bull Formula 1 team wasn’t going to win a race this year? The young and determined German, Sebastian Vettel, ran flawless in qualifying for pole, then a flawless race today to pwn the worlds best at the Chinese grand prix. Red Bull team mate, and Aussie’s favorite son, Mark Webber came in second for a [...]
I just saw over on the HPI Racing’s Japan site, a few pictures of their new Formula Ten vehicle. T-Bar rear suspension, bevel diff gears, and check out that 3D front wing! If you are attending the Long Beach Grand Prix and Expo this weekend, I believe HPI has a few in their booth! If you check [...]
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Welcome back to yet another edition of THE Cub Report. Ready for a battle of the titans? This coming weekend, Air Age Media (producers of RCCA mag) and their RCX hobby expo will go head to head against the HPI, Kyosho, and Tamiya mini-show of the “Radio Control Motorsports Experience“. Both “shows” are held at [...]
I spent the day at my local track for their 2009 USVTA Nationals and what a day of racing! The action was incredible and the cars were spectacular but one thing in the pits caught my eye more than the Vintage Racers. Collin Cocores from HPI Racing was on hand for the race [...]

They are the 12x24x6mm, 20x32x7mm and 17x30x7mm ceramic bearings. Stop [...]
Not that long ago, we talked about the 3Z Scale 1:3 Scale Ride on Monster Truck! Well, it looks like Traxxas wants to show that size does matter with their 1:1 Scale ‘Ride In’ RC Monster Truck! ‘Why would you want to ride on something, when it’s much safer if you just Ride In it!’ Makes sense to [...]
So we were doing some testing over at the Leisure Hours track, when it came time to pull out the HPI Savage Flux! I could tell people were excited to check out the truck, heck half the track cleared when I got out there, and people from the pits came out to watch! After a quick test lap I started [...]
