HPI and Hot Bodies releases for August

New from HPI and Hot Bodies:

RTR Sprint 2 Sport with 1969 Chevrolet Camaro body

The RTR Sprint 2 Sport is now available with the classic 1969 Chevrolet® Camaro® body, pre-painted in bright orange paint, with white stripes, chrome bumpers and vintage wheels/tires for an authentic muscle car look. The Sprint 2 Sport comes with all of the features of the standard Sprint 2, minus the battery pack and charger, giving racers the ability to pick their favorite packs or save money and use their existing packs and charger.

The Sprint 2 Sport is the perfect club racer and is the ideal entry into RC racing fun! Its chassis is almost indestructible and easy to drive, but also has all the racing features you need for a perfect set up on most racetracks. The “out of the box” settings include fully adjustable suspension with control over important settings like camber, caster, toe in, ride height, Ackerman, springs etc. to fine tune your car for faster lap times!

The Sprint 2 Sport chassis delivers excellent handling. A belt driven 4 wheel drive system guarantees smooth power transfer and high grip on a wide variety of paved surfaces. Plus, the race proven suspension with oil filled shock absorbers offer lots of racing features you wouldn’t expect from a Sport car: adjustable camber and toe-in links, extra long upper links with new multiple mounting positions, adjustable Ackerman settings, adjustable droop, different caster and toe in blocks included in the kit… to name but a few.

With a big foam front bumper, a reinforced chassis, upper deck and shock towers you’ll see that the Sprint 2 Sport can take the abuse of racing on the track and on the street! All important chassis and suspension parts are made from high quality, high impact nylon which makes the Sprint 2 extra tough! The fully ball raced, dual belt, 4 wheel drive transmission with only one geared step (48dpi motor pinion to spur gear) is very efficient and capable of handling high power modified electric motors.

With sealed gear differentials front and rear, you never have to worry about time-intensive diff rebuilds on your Sprint 2 Sport. The strong and flexible HPI polycarbonate body shell resists cracking and other damage! 8 rubber sealed ball bearings at the wheel axles and 6 more ball bearings at all other axles don’t wear out like metal or plastic bushings and provide lower friction and more speed.

When you’re ready, it will be very easy to hop up your Sprint 2 Sport. Install a new body shell from HPI’s great range of bodies, get some HPI wheels with high traction tires, or a wide variety of option parts for the Sprint 2 Sport!

The Sprint 2 Sport is a rock solid car for beginners and club racers. The Sport version includes everything you need, just add your own battery pack and charger! Run the car straight out of the box and enjoy the great handling and the awesome performance. If you want to compete on a race track, all the foundations are in place to tune your Sprint 2 Sport and to set it up for some really fast lap times.

Subaru Impreza Type A Body (190mm)

Ultimate Racing Performance.

The HB Subaru Impreza Type A body was designed, tested, and proven on the race track.

The HB design staff and team drivers tested extensively using several different body shapes and aerodynamic variations.

The result of our testing is the “Type A” configuration that outperformed the other versions in terms of aggressive steering response and high corner speed.

The HB Subaru Impreza Type A is optimized for use with front spool set-ups found on most high performance touring cars.

High Performance Aerodynamic Features

The Type A body looks great, but it’s not just about looks. The bulges on the front bumper gave the body quicker initial turn-in steering, and the spoiler on the read deck gave the body extra stability during our track testing.

Smooth front bumper with a large splitter for high downforce and high efficiency.

Flat side panels for consistent stability on the track, reinforced to resist deflection at high speed.

The large wing mounts transfer more down-force from the wing to the ground for increased traction.

Direct Fit on the HB CYCLONE TC Chassis

Direct fit body post marks for the Cyclone TC chassis make mounting this body quick and easy.

Calibrated marks allow you to cut the wheel arches forward or backward to match the wheelbase of your chassis.

Extended mounting lines allow you to accurately move the body forward or backward on the chassis for fine tuning the handling of the car.

Standard Features

Crystal clear polycarbonate for light weight and high durability. Paint it with your own custom race colors!

Vinyl decals with headlights, grills, tail lights and official logos.

Window masks and overspray film to help make painting the body quick and easy.

Wheel center marks help you cut the wheel arches for all brands of cars.
High downforce clear polycarbonate rear wing with multiple side plates and cut lines.

Wing mounting hardware and double sided tape for attaching the wing side plates.

Designed to meet the rules and regulations of racing organizations. (Check with your racing organization for a list of approved bodies)
