HPI Challenge Concourse

[rossb]

My Grave Robber body took second place at the HPI Challenge this past weekend. The HPI representatives told me they thought that my body should have taken first, but they were not the judges. First place was taken by the guy that hosts the CFX Paintworks site. The CFX body was nice.

HPI posted a lot of pics of my body on their site, and only 1 pic of the body that took first place. My 69 Charger and C6 Corvette bodies are also up there.

The HPI pics can be found **here**.

which body won?

sorry man, you got robbed! judges needed glasses.

His paint job was certainly nice and it definitely required more airbrushing skills than mine did. It looked like his designs were probably done by hand with liquid mask. That being said, numerous people (including HPI) preferred my design.

Come on!! Well even if it wont give you the first place...i like yours better.

I think the guys from HPI are right. The Nissan body is well done but I've seen so many similar designs that it's getting old. On yours I particularly like the flame ghost. If you look at it quick you miss it but a second slower look is really warranted for your truck. Keep up the great work man!
