    Hi, years ago i done alot of nitro car racing, i used a hpi rs4 class car, loved it but the maintenance and breakdowns was a nightmare, wanting to come back and give it another go nothing big just fun BUT i want to go electric this time no fuss just charge and fun.

    i want something intermediate and a class from hpi on road, i dont want to spend more than 200euro i want a nice little electric hpi car, so can any of you gents point me in the right direction or give suggestions?

    thanks a mill ;);)

    Sounds like it has to be an on-road hpi then?

    Hi. If you can wait till Saturday - me and my mates are bashing around in St. Annes park, so if you want to come we have three different elec. models from hpi - you won't get a better chance to see them in action before buy.
