2k1 HPI Micro

I was searching for some HPI cars when I came across this: Linky

Pretty koo eh? Its a micro HPI car and its plug N' play straight out of the box. You can add additional mods too.

I bought my micro months ago. They didn't offer a rtr at the time. I have the m3 body on mine. Pretty nice little car. Several motors and all kinds of hop-ups are available for them. I make a track out of garden hose in the garage and run mine from time to time. I have several rc cars but haven't touched them since I got the vic. In fact, I may have to sell a couple to help pay for all these cash eating mods! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

HPI Micro's are electric. There's two kits, one regular which you'll need to assemble, keep in mind how small the parts are. The other version is RTR which comes with everything to run out of the box. If i'm not mistaken the RTR kits are like $250-$300.

I'm pretty sure that kit comes w/ everything straight out of the box. I may be wrong though.

I cut it out and bought chassis extenders for the grasshopper 2 chassis and then just mounted the body on. That car was really fast. It doesnt run right now, I removed some parts to use in my Blackfoot.
