I CRASHED IT! HPI-Racing New BMW 2002 Turbo RC Unboxing - EPIC RC TEST FAIL.

[@RCactionzone-co4sp]

One of the best LOOKING on road car :D

[@OfficialHPI]

ooooh gravel rash 😱 Glad you got it fixed!

[@EarlFortner]

Good run bad cash 😮!!!!

[@alantaylor353]

The RS4 Sport 3 is a decent platform, I've got two of them, both 3S brushless.! They're great street bashers. At £99 for the "creator kit" rolling chassis they're hard to beat. Full metal drive train, oil shocks & oil filled diffs too.!! Cheers for another great video Gav.!! 👍 👍 👍

[@dirkschuemmer]

Bought the body for my M08R. Looks amazing!

[@andyknuckles2903]

Making all this effort to make a good video, I find it strange to run it in a narrow street with curbs.

[@Nerm78]

Lol i see it as the best of both worlds! I did want to cry when it was bouncing off the curb though. Great intro video btw! You tricked me a couple times on that! Great video as always!

[@Nerm78]

Those servos tend to kind of suck btw.

[@enricomiceli5517]

U can get the creators kit, a nice hobbywing brushless combo and a decent servo (btw it has a bellcrank servo saver that u can thighten up) and u have ur nice hpi 1 10. Also this body has been sold separately for years.... comin from a tamiya rc the hpi cration kit is far above (whitout and overpowered brushless system).

[@coygtrc]

We always praise Tamiya for the quality of their body. But honestly, these days, Kyosho and HPI (at least...) are giving them a run for their money. And HPI, they have the BMW licence... As for the chassis, maybe same issue as with other brand entry level, servo and/or servo saver ? Anyway, looked really awesome in motion, except a little too powerful for the narrow street 😅

[@nickkalister6291]

1973 2002tii is my daily driver IRL, I might have to pick one of these up . . . or at least check if that 2002 body is available/fits my fazers

[@zosozoso2]

Looks great this one!! Good to see other models competing with TT02 alike, and yeah, curious to see how good it can eventually get with upgrades! ;-)

[@barrycheesemore2928]

I love the BMW 2002 Turbo, I had an M chassis body shell a couple of years ago when I got back into racing, and that was a HPI one I believe. It looks like a decent chassis with plenty of potential, and I'm guessing that upgrades aren't that expensive. I think a full cockpit in that car would look awesome, as would some better wheels. Also, they haven't done a great job of cutting out the wheel arches from what I could see, but that's easy to fix.

[@garyloades5188]

Well said mate..you just can't please some people with plenty of KZbin cash who got famous building tamiyas.. every time you go faster..you need to upgrade parts no matter what make or model🫡

[@thegrafxguy1]

it's really a shame they couldn't do a clipless body on this one.

[@lo2713]

Oh dear, but atleast you just laughed it off 😁 that is one sweet looking body. Very well done. The steering issue, i would start with the servo saver, see if its that before swapping the servo. But over all, looks a great buy 👍

[@alantaylor353]

Those servo savers are TERRIBLE btw, they don't return to centre very well at all.!! I just run cheap DS Pro 25kg servos (£14)with alloy servo horns, they're fast, and last a really long time before developing any slop & make the car so much nicer to drive.! SC models sell decent road tyres for around £6 a set of 4. Fastrax rally blocks are fantastic too, they're the same price.

[@ianjohnhorwood2605]

I'd say Its good enough to be a shelf queen , and not a serious on road basher car , like HPI's WR8 or Hoboa's GT rally and VT brushless model cars 🤔 .

[@alantaylor353]

I didn't think any of these came with plastic gears.? I could be wrong of course, I've only ever had the creator edition.! This RC really benefits from aluminum upgrades, especially the steering components & hubs. Yeah racing do them, they're not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either.

[@robertshelton2605]

how would you do a custom body with clipless bodies

[@RCKickschannel]

You can get magnet mounts

[@mikeymike3240]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh yah beat me to it grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I really want to do the this body shell for my TT02 DOH 😩

[@ianjohnhorwood2605]

Personally I'm not into HPI's budget 10th scale models . My HPI models begin at the HPI WR8 FLUX 3 WRC RALLY . Then my other on road cars from other brands are the 10 scale Kyosho 69 camero Z28 VE , then the the 8th scale Hoboa's with the Hyper GT rally , and the Hyper VT on road cars . My smaller 14th scale on road cars start at the MJX Hyper go on road race truck and Citroen C3 rally car , which then progresses to my 14th scale LC RACING EMB-RA rally car . I do however have a budget 8th scale on road truck with the MAVERICK 4S on road race truck . All my other RC's are only the top of the range only buggy and truggy from Hoboa , and the 14th scale buggies and truggies from LC RACING only . At the moment these are the best of my RC models . The Kyosho 69 Camero VE I have 4 of them , along with 4 of the HPI WR8 & 4 of the Hoboa Hyper GT rally , and 5 of the LC RACING EMB-RA rally cars . All my other RC'S at the moment there are only 2 of each model as regards the rest of my buggy and truggy models . At the moment this just about sums up the best of my RC collection 🤔 .

[@garyloades5188]

Some people need budget rtrs to get into the hobby..simple really 🫡

[@ianjohnhorwood2605]

Unfortunately those metal gears parts are not the top quality steel parts as used In the more expensive models 🤔 .

[@garyloades5188]

@@ianjohnhorwood2605 thYs why it's cheaper mate

[@prophetate]

I beleived ! heard that the BMW 2002 turbo was the first car with turbo? or am I wrong?

[@garyloades5188]

1st production car🫡

[@prophetate]

@ so I wasn’t too far off 😊❤️

[@zosozoso2]

I think first turbo car was "Oldsmobile Turbo Jetfire", from 1962 ;-)

[@garyloades5188]

@zosozoso2 it was a jet engine not a turbo mate

[@Nic-bd6bj]

when will tamiya ditch those nasty looking body posts?? oh its hpi? well it applies to them, too

[@BlackSeaRC]

...and Kyosho with the Fazer bodies. Totally spoils them and really should have been replaced with a hidden mounting system many years ago.

[@garyloades5188]

​@BlackSeaRC your obviously a newbie and not old school

[@ianjohnhorwood2605]

Team Associated's 10th scale apex 2 cars are not much better either on the handling front , and they cost even more money than the 10th scale HPI on road cars . Seems to me you'll have to spend twice as much money or more to get a better on road car performance than either brand has to offer on their budget models 🤔 . The thing is certain cars from certain brands rarely get modification upgraded parts , even if they have made the same exact model for 20 plus years or longer 🤣🤣🤣 . That's why usually I only purchase the very best models available from RC companies 🤔 🤣 . One things for certain I'm never quite fully sold on certain RC brands half baked budget cars 🤔🤔🤔 . You get the same problem with maverick's 10th scale on road car . the cheap 10 scale HPI chassis is only just about good enough to handle brushed motor and not brushless power . If you want a car to handle excellently on brushless power , your going to need a far more capable chassis like a HPI WR8 flux 3 , or a Hoboa Hyper GT rally or Hyper VT chassis . Personally it's the reason why i no longer purchase certain RC brands lowest tier models in their ranges .

[@garyloades5188]

@ianjohnhorwood2605 you get what ya pay for..anything budget you'll obviously pay to upgrade..it's the way of the world..but at least you can do it gradually

[@michaelqendro9825]

NOOOooooooooooooo. :(

[@mikeymike3240]

Did you not notice that the front spoiler decal is on upside down hahahaha 😅

[@VladimjrPutin]

Its mirrored... Bmw did that on purpose to troll mercedes and Porsche drivers.

[@RCKickschannel]

LOL thats cool

[@garyloades5188]

Why knock hpi..you can spend a fortune on armma traxxis but you'll end up spending extra money on them..its just nitpicking.in my eyes..we are all into RCs..you get what ya pay for🫡

[@RCKickschannel]

Because It's a review video?

[@garyloades5188]

@RCKickschannel you've spent a small fortune on upgrading tamiyas..so have I.. ya gotta remember the little guys who want entry level with the potential of upgrading as their paper round money dictates..🫡

[@garyloades5188]

@RCKickschannel you should watch wheelie yellow..it brings a smile to your face 😀
