HPI Radio Controlled Cars, Electric 4wd, HPI Kits,

We are very proud to introduce the fabulous Cup Racer Kit from HPI! The Cup Racer combines features and racing specs in true-to-scale one-tenth size, in what we call 'True Ten' design! With the HPI True Ten performance chassis, you have the opportunity to experience the joy of owning a super-realistic representation of some of the most legendary sports cars ever made.

BUILD IT YOURSELF FROM THE GROUND UP!

Ready to Perform
Experienced RC racers will be able to take one look at the Cup Racer Chassis and see for themselves the performance potential of this all-new chassis! A huge array of tuning adjustments is possible using the standard kit parts.

The Cup Racer features full-time 4WD, a super-stiff chassis, oil-filled shocks and inboard front shocks, plus as the ability to independently adjust suspension settings such as caster, camber, track width, roll center, wheelbase, anti-dive, anti-squat, Droop and much more! If you like your cars to drive as well as they look, the Cup Racer is for you!

Designed for Excellence
From the very start, the True Ten Scale Cup Racer was engineered for top-level performance at a reasonable cost - while still maintaining the true-to-scale look that Scale modelers desire. To accomplish this, HPI designers have taken it upon themselves to perfect concepts that long-time HPI owners may recognize, but haven't seen in their ultimate, final form.

With the Cup Racer, you can find elements of past HPI achievements put together to make the ultimate Scale RC enthusiast's machine - ready for your hands to assemble and create the magic that is radio control modeling.

Variable Offset Wheels
To help you get a totally realistic looks, we will be offering a range of reproduction classic wheel types to suit the True Ten chassis.

Like the popular Rays TE37 replica drift wheels from HPI, the True Ten wheels will be offered in the widest selection of wheel offsets available to RC modelers: standard 0mm offset, wider 3mm offset for an extra 6mm of total width, and the 6mm deep-offset design for widening the car a full 12mm from the wheels alone!

Fits a Massive Range of Bodyshells
As you can see here, the True Ten Chassis is designed from the ground up to be totally realistic and true to scale: true one-tenth scale! With a huge variety of real cars to choose from, plus the range of M-type bodyshells available already, we wanted to make sure that RC Scale fanatics would be able to fit any available bodyshell on the Chassis with a minimum of hassle.

A selection of Body posts will be available to custom-fit any True Ten or M-chassis bodyshell, using a variety of Body post locations. Even car designs with low-profile front ends will fit, thanks to the laydown-style front shocks! Coupe-style bodies will fit easily with the changeable rear post mount location. In short, ANY M-chassis bodyshell will fit, to allow you to replicate ANY car you like!

The front shock fitting can also be changed to a more standard upright shock setting, or a laydown configuration to help fit low-profile bodyshells.

Build It Yourself
To get the full appreciation of the design quality of any model car, you really have to build it from the ground up. By seeing how every part works in perfect harmony with the rest of the car, you will understand and truly appreciate the time and skill that went into its engineering. This is why the Cup Racer is available as a build-it-yourself kit only. With just a few tools you will build the ultimate Scale model chassis, ready for display, playing about or even all-out racing!
