HPI is BACK - Which Models I Want - Rare 2002 HPI Catalog (Make Nitro Great Again)

[@dttmw]

man this brings me back, I had the rs4 rally, the electric mini rs4 (tonnes of fun) and an hpi pro 2 which i still have somewhere back in my parents house. I always wanted an HPI nitro so ended up with an RS4 3 nitro which was oodles of fun and much more realistic than a boring electric car. the noise, the smell, the action was intense! for the record 200mm bodies were for nitro cars as they were typically wider, whereas the 190mm bodies were for electric chassis. i havent played with RC for a long time but have tried to get back into it during the pandemic, I even found my old HPI MT2 G3.0 in my parents garage, all busted up because i ran it into a fence years ago and lost motivation. i'll fix it now that i've seen your channel ;) keep up the great work, really enjoying this throwback content.

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! Thanks for watching! Lets get those old HPI nitro restored and tuning, this would make the Nitrogang happy!>..I've got some great videos on the MT2 with the G3.0 btw, mine hit a top speed of 50 MPH, can you believe that!!! Crazy high speeds for a stock nitro right.

[@dttmw]

@@hybrid32494 I saw that video last night and I was blown away how fast it can go. I dont think I ever maxed mine out due to only running offroad and lack of space. That video really motivated me to search for parts maybe a new radio as well hahah hope I can get it back on the road soon. I even have the original box for it , glad it hasn't been thrown out. I think I might get the hpi Ken block wr8 nitro as the super nitro rally is super rare.. always wanted one

[@K3n38]

Watching your HPI. Brings back memories. Makes me wanna get back into the nitro R/c game.

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! thanks so much for your support! im trying to make Nitro great again, and the first step is to BUY MORE NITRO RC, lol. anyway, this week I'll be putting out a video where I do just that. Nitrogang!!. Best memories ever,

[@GForcefilms]

Great video and brief history on the Hpi catalog. I agree Hpi should bring back the Super nitro & Super Rs4 EP. Always had a feeling these would reach collector status best times in RC on road.

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! I'm glad you agree! Yes, we need the entire super nitro segment to come back, I think the time for on-road is here. Arrma is selling the larger on-road cars, so why not HPI, right? And yes, the original super nitros are collector level cars these days. FInding wheels for them is tough these days too.

[@skycorrigan6511]

I love that you wear gloves while looking at the magazine!

[@hybrid32494]

haha, hey man! Thank you!! Glad you appreciate the effort to keep vintage nitro stuff ALIVE.. One day I hope to pass these magazines down to somebody.

[@Crack3drc]

I really love all the knowledge you bring in these videos! Your passion on the subject definitely shines through! Oh, and I'm close to getting that hsp 1/8 nitro sc! Got rid of my revo because the constant problems, and I'm going to try that one based on what I seen on your channel...thanks! And keep it coming bro!

[@madrich2018]

Yeah man that would be awesome for HPI to bring back. I would love to have the rally edition. Mine first rc was a HPI savage 25s got it used it was a pain but man every time I got it running it was amazing. Best truck I ever had. Great video like always can't wait to see your HPI collection

[@hybrid32494]

Hey my fellow HPI Nitro Fan! you the man!, thank you for supporting the Nitrogang bro. The savage 25 was awesome for the time, and still is today. I wish they returned the Super nitro Rally, but with a modern shaft drive system and the g3.0 motor. That would be the ultimate rc right there.

[@youtubeviewer9523]

Hey Hybrid, I love your content, you inspired me to get my nitro car out again and get it running.

[@hybrid32494]

thanks for watching man! Lets make 2021 the year of Nitro. I'm sure getting your old nitro running is very rewarding, I know it is for me. Totally different from running a plug N play electric, you know.

[@youtubeviewer9523]

@hybrid32494 sure is!

[@cyclicracer]

Haha YES! When you went over your list, I was like where is the nitro mini and the savage k5.9??? But you went ahead and put those too!!!

[@hybrid32494]

hey man! You're becoming the youngest Nitrogang Guru over here, so this was some useful HPI history right here for you. At least we currently have the savage X 4.6 being made, of course it's not 5.9, but it's better than nothing.

[@logangrilliotvlogs3538]

Your the freaking man Dimitri you are keeping the onroad gang alive EXACTLY what I like to see!

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! The Nitro On-road gang will be going strong for 2021, we will be resurrecting the long forgotten greatness of the Super Nitro. I may even call up HPI and pretend to place an order for one, lets see what they say, ahaha.

[@SgtPickledic]

I had a HPI Nitro MT2 Absolutely loved that truck

[@hybrid32494]

hey brother!! You said it! Exactly, the MT2 is one of the best unsung heroes of the 1/10 stadium truck class. In fact I have an mt2 G3.0 model that hit 50 MPH fully stock. Nuts right!.

[@rcshowoff5427]

This is a great walk through the early 2000's. 2002 is when I really got into nitro and been stuck on it ever since. Xmas of 2019 I wanted the Nitro Firestorm and sold out everywhere so I got the Nitro Rustler Which I'm very happy with. Now the Firestorm is discontinued. Figures I just got a mint Firestorm Flux from eBay. I like to stock up on parts but can't find a spur gear at all.

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! Yes, the 2000's were awesome for HPI and all of the RC Hobby overall. Anyway, trust me, you got lucky not getting the Nitro Firestorm, no parts for them and the metal diff cups HPI use, are terrible. The Nitro Rustler is the way to go, it's basically all the same 1/10 2WD stadium truck chassis anyway, therefore the nitro rustler will give you less of a headache. BTW the nitro slash is build on the extend rustler chassis and with a 3.3.

[@rcshowoff5427]

Yes.. I've been eyeballing the Slash 3.3.

[@danutmtb]

Great to hear that hpi will be back in the market soon, can't wait to order parts for the savage x4.6!

[@cerberusscalenrccars8889]

man, that catalog is sick! HPI sure had a lot of cool stuff, I'm glad they're back. I have the Nissan GTR R35 electric RTR, but I'm saving up to buy a nice RS4 nitro 1970 Plymouth HEMI Cuda

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude, thanks for watching! I recently purchased the newest official HPI catalog (last one ever made from 2016). I will review that soon. Any nitro is fun, I highly recommend you stick with something new where you could get parts in needed, I present these vintage RCs from a collectors point of view, but if you're not heavily invested and this is your first nitro, try to learn the hobby with a new RC. Trust me, less problems in the long run. I always point things out as they are, you know.

[@cerberusscalenrccars8889]

Thanks for the tip, maybe that Cuda will be my shelf queen, and probably I'll buy a more recent nitro, keep making these awesome videos!

[@713Ace529]

Man, Thanks for covering all that. If hey bring that back I’m all in. I missed out on old stuff. 👍

[@hybrid32494]

thanks for watching man! Yup, those were some terrific RCs back in those years, especially the larger on-road segment like the Super Nitro RS4 and the Super Nitro Rally, that's what we need. So far we got the savage x 4.6, some buggies and the bullet series being made.

[@GuitarGuys7299]

The Racer 2 was a kit. My first HPI was the original Nitro RS4. I upgraded it with a CVec pipe, a 2 spd and a heatsink head. Then I built the NitroRS4-2 kit that I spec'd out beyond the Racer-2 with a Paris Pipe and a Nova Rossi .12. I liked the CVec, but it wasn't legal for IFMAR races. And the Proceed was an awesome car. They tried to compete with Serpent.

[@agropiastrella]

back in the day at my local track there were big races against 1/10 touring RTR. Thunder tiger, ofna, HPI, kyosho, carson etc etc You could hear engines roar from 8.30 in the morning all day long. All a bunch of new guys racing against the professionals, sometimes there was about 20/30 cars on the track at the same time! But everyting is gone now...it is a sad thing nowadays the 1/10 touring RTR segment disappeared :(

What does .12 or .18 mean on a nitro engine I’ve had my RS4MT since it was released 10 hours to put it together I couldn’t wait to get home from school to put it together I still have it today same brushless sensored system so fast and quiet

[@hybrid32494]

hey man! Good question about the .12 or .18 engine sizes. Basically it's the Cubic Inch Displacement. The confusing part is many companies like traxxas will call their engines 2.5 & 3.3. In reality the TRX 2.5 is a .15 size motor. You can google the conversion. For example the HPI G3.0 is a .18 size motor. It's CC in CI conversion at it's core. So we got the same RS4 MT, then. Awesome bro! Never sell that either.

Tamiya TT02 kit has a Subaru STi body, both the old 22b (classic) and new (2015+) body styles. Pretty cheap, but they come with bushings not bearings. The bearing kits cost like $200.

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! you're right and I'm fully aware of the Tamiya kits. The reason I mostly like the Super Nitro Rally is because they are substantially larger and are actually very off-road capable. Meanwhile the tt-02 chassis is just a basic plastic tub chassis with a cool body, you know what I'm saying. Both have their place, but Tamiya cannot replace the experience of the super nitro rally.

whats up man! Yes, that HPI .12 engine is surely the ultimate HPI Trophy Engine at this point. IT seems the entire nitro RC hobby is slowly phasing out all small-block motors, been going on for years. Only the big-block nitros are left at this point.

[@mitymike]

@@hybrid32494 oh yeah I'm a collector of vintage on road nitros. engines are getting harder and harder to find, so I hunt eBay nearly everyday looking for the next deal. With almost 20 vintage nitro rc cars and more on the way I think it's safe to say that I'm Nitro Gang all day!

[@Joe_Hutchinson513]

Novarossi Top C12 is the same engine. I have one its a beast. Has .21 style big bore carb

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro!, yes, you're right. SO far a few people have told me that. Great engine for the specs, and for an HPI at that time this was insane. Too bad traxxas never had a partnership with any other engine brands to produce such top spec stuff.

[@LawrenceTimme]

Yes get the new savage 4.6! But I want uld get the kyosho tr ck first, 3 speed > 2 speed

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro!, YES, that is the big choice right here. At this point they are both unavailable. I diffidently want to yell 3-speed BABY! Plus since I already have a savage XL getting a savage x is a level down. Only cool bc it's new.

[@michaelgarcia22]

Mad crusher has been replaced by foxx 2.0. Updates are the new front bumper and body.

[@5thgearedlined]

Prelude hell yeah, I have a 99 that I daily

[@hybrid32494]

hey my bro! I almost got myself a prelude Type SH back in the day, I wound up getting a 2000 INtegra GSR, also a terrific car. I would prefer the prelude though, cause the damn GSR was rough as shit, and would run 3K RPM at 60 MPH>.

so far it's all good news bro! I have many people telling me they are finding new HPI Savage trucks in their hobby stores. Even the online parts brokers are buying the new stock now and selling parts. I recently finally purchased a new complete diff for my HPI trophy Truggy flux from a brand new one, only cost 33 bucks. Entire diff , diff case and drive cups.

Hey dude got a Kyosho circa 1990's optima 10, never even seen fuel! i'll post it on my channel, will let you know. I GOT IT FREE

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro!! Congrats on the new nitro! Any nitro is awesome. Sounds like yours is a damn time capsule, so interesting. If you really dig deep and examine the vintage nitro stuff compared to modern stuff it's basically still the same. You got the motor and the servos, the rest is just chassis stuff. This is why Nitro will never die, because it's proven top notch stuff throughout the years.

[@dolobrolic6066]

HPI......where did they go?........I have been running and buy parts for years........I have to hunt like I’m on a RC safari or something but HPI has always been in my life. 😂

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! I know all about the HPI parts Hunting safaris ahaha. I like how you put that. So In about 2014 HPI was sued by Traxxas and they filed for bankruptcy. Although parts have been floating around for years anyway, but no NEW RCs were ever made. Now they are back! IT's a damn Nitro Party!.
