BMW 2002 Turbo Body

The 1973 BMW 2002 Turbo was BMW’s first production turbocharged car, with forced induction giving it remarkable performance for its era. Born in a turbulent time of gas shortages and new safety regulations, the 2002 Turbo boldly wore its performance image in the form of brightly colored reverse-facing “turbo” graphics on the front spoiler. Produced for a short run of fewer than 1,700 cars, surviving 2002 Turbos are now prized by BMW collectors around the world.

The body comes in clear polycarbonate so you can paint it with your own favorite color scheme. It’s a perfect fit on Cup Racer and Switch cars as well as many other “Mini” size cars with 225mm wheelbases.

Like all HPI bodies, the BMW 2002 Turbo comes with a clear protective overspray film, window masks and a large pre-cut decal sheet. The body also has drill locations marked for HPI Cup Racer cars, making it easy to line up the body mount and antenna holes.

BMW M3 E30 body

The BMW M3 E30 is one of the most famous Touring Cars from the 1980’s, having dominated races in the famous DTM and BTCC racing series, as well as wins at grueling endurance ra
ces like the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. The street-going BMW M3 included aggressive modifications designed for racetrack performance like box-flared fenders, wider wheels and tires, an aerodynamic package for downforce at high speeds, and an engine tuned for more horsepower. The result was a street car proclaimed as one of the Top 10 Sports Cars of the 80’s and recently voted as one of the “5 greatest drivers cars of all time” by Automobile Magazine.

HPI faithfully recreates the BMW M3 E30 for R/C cars with this 200mm body that fits wide 1/10 scale sedans and features the usual HPI attention to detail. Included with the body is a pre-cut decal sheet that include window lines, headlights, grills, tail lights, official logos and much more, providing your touring car with a realistically finished product.

This body is clear so you can paint it in your favorite colors. It fits 200mm touring cars and can also be used on 190mm touring cars with the use of wide offset wheels. Overspray film is included, as well as vinyl window masks to make painting quick and simple. An instruction sheet is included for the decals, and the body has dimple marks for body post drill locations.

Baja 5B Khaos Rear Tires

HB Khaos tires have been designed specifically to suit a range of off-road racing conditions, and are perfect for loose dirt, clay, blue groove and damp tracks. They also work great on hard surfaces with a scattering of dust on top.

The tire body has hundreds of wide rectangular lugs spaced around the carcass, providing excellent forward traction and mud-slinging ability to keep the treads clear and the tire free from dirt build-up. The square sides of the treads give supreme cornering grip for extra confidence in technical track sections. Running down the center of the tire is a double row of tread blocks spaced even farther apart for excellent straight-line stability at high speeds. The carcass shape makes it perfect for rutted and bumpy terrain, because the curved sidewall doesn’t dig in and cause grip-rolling through too much traction.

Pick up a set of HB Khaos tires and you’ll be running and gunning in no time!

White compound is medium, great for practice and all-around use. Blue compound is firm for high-bite tracks.

HB Khaos tires are ideal on nearly all dirt surfaces in a variety of conditions.
