HYPER MINIS

I believe we had posted about this car earlier, but it was lost in the meltdown (lol). The closer it gets to release the more excited I am about it.

Love the 240z as I've mentioned earlier, and there is another awesome body coming out for it as well. The Datsun 510.

Now if only they would come out with a BMW 2002 or Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint (Does anyone remember if Tamiya M bodies work with this?)

If I buy one, Wrench, will you paint the body for me? (J/K, but I'm awful at painting and the bodies are too impressive to screw up)

I'm very intrigued by these as well. According to HPI the Tamiya M bodies will work on it, which is probably the route I would take if I end up building one.

looks like a sweet time to me

i still love this car, and would really get into one if the class goes anywere!

What Tamiya body would you use Max, a Mini Cooper?

Probably a Cooper or an Alfa Romeo. Those 2 are my favorites of the ones they make.

Yep, I love the Alfa, but I love the Datsun's from HPI, too. I'm sure HPI will release an impressive lineup of bodies for them in the future.

I bet they release some really great bodies for it in the near future for sure. I'm looking forward to seeing what they have in store.

me too, i am hoping they start coming out with some smaller rubber again!.

ABC hobby makes some great Mchassis bodies as well. you should check their stuff out.

I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully this means the the mini x-patterns will become available again very soon.

read my mind!!!
new x patterns would be useful.

that chassis looks like a great basher, and or club racer, cant wait to see one in person.

Me either. If it's everything I think it's gonna be it might just be my next on road car.

Yeah, MJ, those are great. Celica 1600 GT!!!!!

It appears that ABC hobby is making a chassis that is very much like the Cup Racer.

ABC has had that chassis for over a year if not 2. they ahve been making the mini 4wd shaft chassis for a while. they just recently started to import them to the US. the only way to get them in the past was through Dinball (RCMART). they are a very nice sturdy little car too. their bodies are also second to none! well maybe tamiya, but they are a close second.

Good to know MJ, their bodies seem a little pricey, but they look great. Maybe something to look into in the future.

Yes I do remember those killer little rigs. The Datsun is right up my alley my brother had one when I was growing up. Thanks for the repost.Wonder how many other killer little tidbits of info we lost as well.Tanx.l8r,w.
