Old news.... Someone posted about them weeks ago. But those are nice and clear pictures. I cant decide wether to stay 150mm and buy a CLK and Modena or switch to 140mm and buy a Trueno and RX-7.

Hey 561, how old are you and where do you go to school? I know someone who recently moved to Boca Raton. Maybe you know him.

is that RX-7 in 140mm, cuz that thing is tight, i want it in 150mm


what does everyone think of these as potential bodies all in 150mm:
1) Toyota MR-S (MR-2 Spyder)
2) Saleen S7-R
3) VW Jetta
4) VW GTI
5) Lambourghini Murcielago

some of u may not know what a Murcielago is, but its the 2003 Lambourghini (very nice!)

MR2 Spyder's wheelbase is 2451 mm, divided by 18 equals 136.16 mm. Not gonna be 150 mm wheelbase.

Saleen S7-R's wheelcase is 2700 mm, divided by 18 equals 150 mm. Might see it in 150 mm wheelbase.

VW Jetta's wheelbase is 2512 mm, divided by 18 equals 139.5 mm. Not gonna be 150 mm wheelbase.

VW GTi's wheelbase is 2475 mm, divided by 18 equals 137.5 mm.
Not gonna be 150 mm wheelbase.

Lambourghini Murcielago's wheelbase is 2665 mm, divided by 18 equals 148.05 mm. Might see it in 150 mm wheelbase.

The Jetta will be in 150mm if 2512 divided by 18 = 149.5.:D

h0502 is right about all those bodies. I think everyone knows about the new lambo, its not that new anymore either. I would rather have the S7, RAD already makes a diablo

i heard HPI is coming out with 14 new bodies:
NSX, WRX, CLK, HOnda Accord, RX7, some kind of HB (hatch back rally car), RSX...these are the ones i heard at my LHS.

i dont know the release dates and /or wb for each of them...

I think the hatchback rally car is the Citroen Xsara. I was looking at the HPI Japan website.

I also saw the Mazda RX-7 FD and the Trueno, but not much else yet.

All those bodies arent for the micro, they are just in the new products section.

Oops. My mistake.

Looks like the Citroen Xsara is for the EP GTI (probably a 1/10, I suppose).

The RX-7 FD is still a possibility for micro :)

Yes it is a fact, the RX-7 is a micro body, in 140mm

i think the civic Si looks like a miniature minivan of some weird sort...however, the new civic type-r is quite nice. i still want a BORA (JETTA) to come out for the micro. that would be cool.
