Looks like HPI racing is finally adding a new linup to their micro series. Too bad I think the micro series suck. Try Yokomo on for size. Too bad their kit comes with a Veilside body kit .

Thumbs up

That body reminds me of the new Mazda Speed's bodykit. I really love the way that looks.

I have one of those HPI Micro cars with a 911 body. I was going to sell it but I might have to get that RX-7 body now. The cars are fun but a little fragile up front. My friends and I have had to replace every part between the fron wheels with aluminum parts.

I think that thing would be sweet. I have a Nitro 4-tec, and I might try to get the body to fit on that. Man, that thing would haul ***.

Yea, the problem with those micro rs4 kits is that you need a ton of hop-up parts to get them in the condition they should abeen in when they you bought them. That's the only reason why I think it's best to start off right and purchase the pro kit from yokomo. Of course it's no mini, but it will get the job done.

thats cool, but arent hpi kits typically more accurate looking? i mean come on... that doesnt look like a real fd. it looks more cartoonish than the cheapest of tamiya bodies.
