thats SICK.. if hpi slap there name on it and slap a 350-400US dollar price tag on it im gonna have to get one..
its not THAT similar to the 415.. the xray is much more similar

also the reason they all use this style of design is cause its fast.. would u rather have teh same design as every one else and be fast or force every one to be differnt..

also tech racing bassicaly designed and built the 415 for tamiya..

Default yikes!!!

woah .. wat's with the sudden rush to bring out new cars!!?!?!? next thing we'll see the rumoured TRF 416 ..

i dunno about this HPI car .. looks like a corally mixed with TRF ... the belt stabiliser and the way it's layed out ... hmm.. give me a few more days to accept it ..


any word on it's name and release as yet??

for mod i think belt is good because on the pro4 the bevel gears like to shred themselves ALOT i dont have one but have seen it numerous times so maybe thats why and mod seems to be getting very popular (had 2 mod classes last night....i love them)

this is said to be a hotbodies tc not a hpi. sad thing is they both use purple but i think that's hara's doing more than anything else.
i would also say that this car is designed by murai & surikarn.
looks the goods though, might not work on foam with that top deck.

layout looks all the same ... but
i do like the way they have put the spure in the centre of the car ... it looks to b better balanced than the 415

car could b narrower too ...

it's interesting .. then muira(??spelling) an surikarn design
might work out better
now wat would the TRF 416 b like .... after everything seems to imitate it ..??


i want one .... lol

Hotbodies is HPI. They're both owned by the same guy!
