I was just told that Hobbico is no longer the US distributor for HPI. As of this past Friday (I assume 11/17/2017) HRP out of Utah is now the exclusive HPI distributor for the US. According to HRP, the change it still underway but all warranty repairs will be performed directly by HPI and I was...

I bought a used HPI brushed drift car. It has a stock RF-1 receiver. I just drove my car last weekend with no issues but yesterday when I turned my car on, I noticed that I did not hear the typical chim that the receiver made. What I did hear was the directional servo made a noise as it...

Hi All I've recently acquired a HPI firestorm, I'm trying to get it running for my son. I'll have an intermittent fault onwhat I'm guessing to be the reciever? New batteries all round, switches okay, no damage to aerial, new crystals, both servos okay as tested in both channels.. the steering...

25 bux and i converted my losi xxxnt nitro to brushed...also i am converting HPI nitro mt to brushless.

HPI just published this video and obviously they are looking forward to being back on top. Great to be hearing from them. Now I'm really looking forward to seeing what they have up their sleeves.

Newbie question. I just started getting back into RC cars and trucks again and would appreciate some advice. My wife bought me the original HPI RS4 RTR many years ago. Now that I retuned it and got it started again, I wanted to know if there are any reasonably priced tuned pipes that would be...

Hey. I just bought a HPI D8S buggy used. It has not been driven much and it looks like itw been used for 5-8 tanks. But when i start it, it just starts off with reving high and the wheels are spinning ( i have put it on a bix so it can run freely) when i trim the throttle on my controller the...

I can't find the 2 screws to adjust the 2 speed tranny on my hpi savage. I've watched a but ton of vids doing what they say to do but no luck. It just doesn't seem to line up...at all.

Wadup guys, call me NTB for short. New to the forum just introducing myself and my current RC project to the scene. I got my engineering degree from SIUC so building and fabricating are no strangers to me. A couple months ago I did the impossible and tried to make a monster from one of the...

hey, I posted a week or so ago about finding a relatives RS4 from 2002-4. I've found that everything is essentially the same on the newer models as on the old, which is helpful. However I'm trying to mount a G3.0 engine, using a 21mm brace, but I find that the nut on the carb is wedged against...

Hello! I've recently unearthed a relatives RS4 from roughly 2002-4, however it is in a state of repair and needs some TLC. Unfortunately I don't have any instructions, nor can I locate any online for that specific car. The spur gear is completely shredded, the exhaust is damaged and the wheels...

I need to "upgrade" or change the exhaust system in my RS4. The reason being, the body covers the exhaust tube. I have noticed with this being an old RS4, the original exhaust system is not something that is very popular today. What kind of system should I be replacing this with? Does the...

Hello everyone, I'm from Cambridgeshire and on a whim started looking to get in to nitro RC after being out of the electric RC scene for a while. My interest started a few weeks ago when a Nitro buggy showed up on a Facebook buy/sell site for what looked like not a lot of money, it was...

Not sure who all else has been following this but... Competition X let the cat out today.

I don't really know how to do this poll thing, I'm just testing it out, but please answer anyway! I'm trying not to start a whole Traxxas vs. Associated vs HPI thing (there are enough of those) so please don't start an argument.:D

For some reason when I turn right and hit full brake on my TF-40 transmitter, the RF-40 goes into some set up mode and sends the car flying into a curb. I lost control with that key combination and split my gas tank in two. Any ideas as what what it is? Here's a video

I am always confused as to how to set a correct gear mesh. People keep telling me its gotta be this way others will say its gotta be that way. This is my gear mesh result from my brand new HPI Savage X 4.6............. what do you think?

Morning everyone. Since I'm new I figured I would introduce myself. My name is Chris, live in Tampa, FL and I'm just getting back in to the RC hobby. I have a Traxxas Villain IV boat (that I purchased 15-20 years ago and am restoring now), a Traxxas Rustler (electric) from the same time period...
