Hacker Brushless USA 
Hacker Brushless USA has released a brushless motor specifically designed for monster truck applications (shown here on a Traxxas E-Maxx). The motor/speed control combination replaced the standard dual motor system, and handles up to 12 cells. Hacker makes both 540- and 550-size versions of the motors. For more information on Hacker Brushless products, visit their website at www.hackerbrushless.com.
Hardcore Racing Components 
Hardcore Racing Components was showing off its Mutant Headers for O.S. nitro engines, with a version also available for the stock Traxxas .15 engine. Mutant Headers for Novarossi engines, as well as others, remain in development. 
Even though the Associated Nitro TC3 has only been around for a short time, Hardcore Racing has already tricked it out with a full line of hop-ups. 
And what line of parts would be complete without a full set of aluminum upgrades for the good old T-Maxx? Hardcore certainly does not disappoint. For more information on Hardcore Racing Components products, visit their website at www.racinghardcore.com.
Hot Bodies 
Hot Bodies was showing off its newest line of bodies for the HPI Micro RS4 platform -- so new that they aren't even in their 2003 Catalog. Hot Bodies also has a full line of hop-up parts for the Micro RS4. 
The Tornado RTR is Hot Bodies' own entry into the mid-level RTR nitro sedan market. For more information on Hot Bodies products, visit their website at www.hotbodiesonline.net.
HPI 
Even though HPI did not exhibit at this year's Hobby Expo, their newest product, the .21-powered Savage monster truck, was on display at the Hot Bodies booth. This truck is obviously a prototype, but judging by the buzz it created when it was announced, it has a bright future. Some of the more interesting features on the truck so far are the long, skinny shocks. According to HPI, the shocks are actually quite durable, and this unconventional design allows the truck to have a large amount of suspension travel, while maintaining the ability to soak up smaller bumps and obstacles. It should be interesting to see in action, to say the least. For more information on HPI products, visit their website at www.hpiracing.com.
