HPI


Thanks for writing into HPI Customer Service. As for the wheels you are looking for they are not available separate from the kit yet. If you have a kit and have damaged a wheel I could possibly track down one to replace it if needed.

The part numbers are going to be 3928 and 3918 once they are released

Ok seems like a lot of RC'ers in here, so

http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/u...mp;ParentCat=85

WAAAAYYYYY better price for motors/chargers/batteries than anyone else. The ZIPPY flighmax batteries and Turnigy electronics have been bullet proof. I've ordered 3 times, my dad half a dozen, and all the guys at work that RC have ordered. About 2 weeks to the west coast. It all comes from china anyway, your just cutting out the middleman.

For online stuff I use Raidentech. They dont have HPI stuff, though. I really want to get into brushless and Lipo planes. Cant justify it until I am done with my bus, 914, move, etc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Hey, forget raidentech. Call me when your ready. Can get you in the air lipo/brushless with a proven plane. Order the electronics from hobbyking, and depending on your flying skill depends on the airplane. I flew gas/nitro for a long time. All electric for me now, including the new twin engine PBY Catalina sea plane I just bought. Can help you get in the air for less than 200 bucks with LIPO/brushless/2.6 GHZ radio. Stuff has gotton cheap.

No, I just know what to order and from where. I wouldn't ever get in to the nightmare of sales again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I've been in RC flying clubs for the last 15 years with my father. I only got out of the clubs cause i'm only doing electrics now. My dad (who should retire but won't) flys competition pattern RC with the BIG planes, like 150CC 2 stroke stuff. Between the two of us alone we have had probably 2-3 hundred planes. We both now usually order the stuff for electrics through hobbyking. His 5K plus airplanes get only top of line stuff of coarse.

Maybe i should come spectate at your clinic up here and bring my medium foamy electric. Enough room to fly ??

He can fly it or crash it. Don't care. Foamies go well with the hot glue gun, and a total loss would be 40 bucks. Thats why I volunteer the foamy and not a built up one !

Ok back to the wheels (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Since the wheels aren't the typical touring size
1.75" (44.5mm) Dia.
.97" (25mm) wide

Anyone have some ideas on tires?
These are what I have found that should work.
HPI, 100630, 100628, 100629
ae 2405
TAMIYA, 51023, 53220, 53214, 53227

Any others?

Here's what I bought.

Are these the same scale as yours or is your car a mini size?

The CUP wheels and tires are smaller than the Vintage series and are a little bigger than the mini sizes.
