Default HPI Nitros

Guys;

HPI cars will serve you just fine for playing or racing. It's just when you start to move up in rank to the faster classes that it becomes a handicap. For Novice/Rookie to Intermediate/Sportsman, the car will be fine. An HPI will probally be more durable (on-road) than some of the other brands if you are just playing in parking lots and the street. Most importantly, have fun with whatever you buy.

Hey.

Great to hear your starting in Nitro. I have a HPI Nitro MT and they are great fun and fast aswell (For a beginner) - I'm having a lot of fun learning about it, and HPI parts seem to be pretty readily available.

Check out the Nitro MT - It's around $600AUD so Im guessing it will cost around $300US.

It's zippy for a first car


Have fun!

Josh.
