No, it's Exceed RC is the company. AFAIK, HPI's only other brand is Hot Bodies...
I think they are straight from JP and may not even have stateside offices? There's some pretty glaring spelling/grammer errors, like "blushless" motors, etc.
Not saying it isn't a nice budget product or anything, I have no experience with them. But their site seems to be lacking in hard details and the "about us" doesn't even list an address, US or otherwise...
HTH...
