So who’s the fastest rc racer on planet Earth right now? Well today after winning the 8th scale off road world championship, arguably it is Japans Atsushi Hara. This is quite shocking, and shocking for several reasons. Reason #1- Hara drives for HPI/Hot Bodies. While HPI has always made awesome cars and trucks, they aren’t known for being a tour de [...]
Whoa! Check this body out! Pro-Line Racing has announced the new Recon body. It’s sized to fit monster trucks and 2.2″ Rock Crawlers! It’s got a cool simulated canvas cover and looks very military like. It’s ready to fit the T-Maxx, Revo, Savage and Scorpion! If you want to look different, this body will get [...]
This week yielded entry number three into the hot new “CORR” truck genre as HPI introduced their hot new truck, the Baja 5T. Obviously, this is based off their incredible 5th scale gas Baja buggy chassis, but comes in full “CORR” off road truck attire. Unfortunately, the truck just misses the mark on looks, as the body is too narrow, [...]
Breaking news! HPI Racing has just released official pictures and information on the Baja 5T. HPI has sent this info out to the press, and they will have a webpage setup for people to check it all out in about 24 hours! The Baja 5T is a ready-to-run 1/5th scale off-road truck. It’s [...]
This is awesome! RPM RC has started to support the big boys! And by big I mean 5th scale. These are the new a-arm sets for the HPI 5B. Not that they do not come in these colors, these have been dyed. I also can’t believe that they can look that good dyed. I so have [...]
Now this is hardcore drifting action! It’s one thing when companies license rims and bodies, but HPI Racing has licensed the Falken Azenis RT615 T-Drift tire patter! Wow. RC Drifters can now go from clocks to treaded tires to fine tune their rides for different track conditions. They are made from an extremely hard compound for [...]
It’s wheels like this that make me want to start doing more on-road action! HPI Racing has these new Work XSA 02 C wheels. The are Chrome and Gold, and come in 3mm, 6mm, and 9mm offset! They are standard 26mm touring car wheels, and are officially licensed from Work.
Here is a BIG ride for ya! HPI Racing has introduced the Chrysler 300C SRT8 200mm clear body! It comes with vinyl decals for window frames and lights, and is a pretty sharp looking body! If you are a fan of the bigger car look, this one is for you.
Now available from HPI Racing is the new pre-painted DSX-2 body for the E-Firestorm, Flux, and MT2. It comes in a few different colors, pre-drilled body post holes, and pre-trimmed! Just but it and stick it on your ride! Retail is about $55, but it’s probably cheaper in the shops.
Since I know there are more then a few people out there that have trouble viewing the HiDef videos, I will start posting them over on HobbyZip.com since just about anyone can see the stuff there. This is the 1/5th Scale RC HPI Baja 5B doing an awesome barrel roll video. Enjoy!
Pro Driver, Tim Mohr, and I were out one morning testing the new HPI Baja 5B. We were also testing out the new HD Camera. The footage isn’t at full HD Def, or it would be too big to download, but I think it’s pretty good. You’ll need a codec (or quicktime) to play it. To [...]
Another week, another Cub Report- here’s all you really need to know about what went down in the rc universe last week. It’s been years since the revolutionary Traxxas T-Maxx came out. Since then, most companies have jumped on the bandwagon and produced their versions of the platform. The HPI Savage was the first, and probably toughest competitor in the category. [...]

In a week that featured the #22 of Chad Reed winning his second AMA Supercross title, and the beautiful filly Eight Belles giving her life for the run to the roses, it’s been awfully dead in the rc world. Some news was made last week when Trinity announced that Ed Bridges of the famed EB Mods had come on board. Ed [...]
