HPI Cup Racer 1M

finally got some pics of my cup racer to show. It has a Tamiya cockpit interior with roll bar. The cockpit comes with a driver with open face or closed helmet, but I made my own head and nitrous bottle with some clay you can harden with use of a conventional oven. His beanie is the thumb off a glove.

That is sure one way to go, but I think he'd have more fun assembling a kit, and rather less rebuilding an rtr, judging from his background. OFF: In my eyes, the trx rally is a vehicle that's rather good for nothing, it's just a mix of classes in a scale that's too small to be enjoyable, but that's strictly my opinion. /OFF

This is trick. I mean the car is beautiful, but the interior tray with the clay bits is awesome. Did you say you made the Nitrous Bottle out of polymer clay? I wonder if custom headlight buckets would work from clay. Maybe tail light buckets and even grille inserts. Thanks for posting this is really nice.

Hey guys, we just picked up three Cup Racers for our local track to try and spark up a budget spec class. I also picked up three sets of EZrun/Tacon gear and 3000mah 2s hardcase packs for them. I went with the finned 540 size 2100Kv Tacon so we can keep the speeds low and try to keep them running well on our "bumpy" on-road style track which was originally built for RC18s.
I was wondering if we should have any durability issues with such mild setups which will only be geared for 18-20mph. I have read several posts about the drive cups, but it would be nice if we could run these stock.

setup question
Hi all, have been reading the thread with much interest. Got hands on the hpi cup racer drift version a while ago. Have added exotek carbon chassis, stood the front shocks up instead of laying down etc. Have now got it set up for racing, running 13turn brushless which runs well.
Am having an issue with the tail being really twitchy and wanting to spin out when running into corners. Not real sure what to do, have tried different springs, different shock positions etc
has anyone else had this issue?
