HPI Cup Racer

Not sure where to go considering the scale of this car but figure this was best since it falls in the "mini" category. I have been eyeing up the HPI Cup Racer Kit with the Porsche body, and was wondering if anyone knew if it came with the Porsche rims like in photos or if it uses one of the other two styles. HPI's website doesn't list the Porsche rims on there tire section so it got me thinking.

yea i think it looks awesome! I was doing some reading and the front suspension has two mounting configurations: 1) a MacPherson Strut style setup and 2) a more Revo style setup to accomadate the lower front-end bodies. A big plus is the fact that it is a kit, just like my micro Rs4 when i first got it. Oh the memories of gettign into RC!!

I am going to go with a cross between the mrs4 and the E10/Sprint2. they say its not that much smaller than a 1/10 scale car.

It's suppose to be 1/12 scale .... or like the size of the Tamiya Mini Chassis (M03 and M05). Actually the bodies from the HPI Cup Racer will fit on the Tamiya M-Chassis

I have been checking these out a little, also. They look really nice. The 1/12 scale would be the next step up from the 1/14 Recoil I own, but I am probably going to go for a nice 1/10 scale TC next. I guess I have had my fill of minis.
