I'm so happy to see hpi making a come back, another amazing looking car from them. I wouldn't say it wants to be a "basher" just because it has metal gears, touring cars aren't really meant to be abused like an off road car. It can also be just for longevity and reliability of the car in the long term. Either way having metal gears is always a plus regardless of what it's going to be used for 👍
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!
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.!! 👍 👍 👍
Well, this is a nice change up from the solid windows and toy-ish looking bodies. I wanted that GT40 when I first got back into the hobby and glad I waited around and built one instead. This one looks like a major step up in quality from their previous releases. I appreciate you showing that servo saver test.. didn't even think of doing something like that to see how it centers! Top notch
Ouch! We all do that from time to time. There used to be curbs like that out the front of my place. Broke many a car hitting them. A couple of years back the road was completely redone so now the curbs have like a 25~30 deg angle on them, which is pretty sweet, one my side anyway, on the opposite curb there's about an inch and a half sticking up at 90deg, still enough to damage a car.
I love HPI. Although I'm a nitro rs4 guy, they produce some real sweet bmws and this is no exception. Long live the king of rtr manufacturers. Great release! I like the non quick release because the body will be avaliable as a clear for me to sling it on my existing 1/10 ep cars
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 👍
As an RC enthusiastic car collector, it's good to see from any brand release such a beautiful body like this one. But I started to think that "What's the point of having the fastest chassis and adding all the upgrade hop up parts when you have a beautiful classic body such as this one? I guess this is why Tamiya keeps releasing many different bodies on a same chassis (TT01/TT02) But I also understand that we all like to see a machine with the shining aluminum and beautiful carbon parts on our all the machines lol I guess.., my point is that I hate to see a car with beautiful body get all scratched up! We can replace small broken parts, but it's almost impossible to restore any polycarbonate or ABC hard body. That's why I only run my collections once or twice slowly just for filling purposes. I have separate cars for bashing and racing. 😅
I think replacing links with turnbuckles will improve the high speed handling as can dial in some toe out. Couldn’t see from vid if slightly toe in from stock which would make it wander at speed. Great looking body 😎
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.
Well said mate..you just can't please some people with plenty of RUclips cash who got famous building tamiyas.. every time you go faster..you need to upgrade parts no matter what make or model🫡
Definitely do some upgrades. Im thinking of grabbing the creaters kit (£99) and a scooby body, slightly larger shocks and having a decent rally car. Would love you to upgrade this so i can see whats what before I spend £££ 😉❤
I'm not necessarily a fan of the BMW but it's not bad looking. I have some TT-02 cars and a couple of the Fazer Mk2 Kyosho cars. I think this definitely fits in there, with cars similar to that. Looks like a decent onroad car to just play with, and was more than fast enough to be fun. I might have to have a look at the HPI cars. Id love to know if it drives any different with the changed uprights, or on a different/warmer surface, a revisit of this car after you've had some time with it would be awesome!
Great review. I want the body more than the kit. Maybe my TT's will get a new shell? Especially since the first thing I'd do is remove the radio and use my own with gyro.
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).
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 😅
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.
Not sure how that’ll help with speed runs. You’ll mainly only notice the shocks in the corners and Gav’s already said the tyres on it already feel quite soft. At serious speeds you often lock off your shocks completely or even replace the whole shock with an adjustable tie rod but hey. It’s all subjective, if it works for you 😊
@@OfficialHPI I thought it looked to be. GREAT FEATURE. 👏👏👏 There are a few of us left handers out there. We usually get overlooked by the "righties"... LOL. One more question, if the transmitter signal is boosted will the Rx allow greater range? I ask as I have found some makes ( Absima CR4T for example) a boosted Tx gives very little extra range. I assume it was then Rx limiting range.
NB - I have never understood "righties".... Everything else I have ever driven or ridden has been right foot or hand throttle..... Just ain't right steering with the right. LOL.
@@RCKickschannel don’t think we’re allowed 😂🤣😂 On a serious level though I’m surprised the uk government hasn’t already created RC road tax. Can you imagine little jimmy in the model shop getting his first RC and the person behind the counter has to ask where he’ll be running it. Ooohhh, out the front of your house you say. Yeah that’ll be an extra £53 please. Oh and you’ll need to pay that every year 🤦🏻♂️ Watch this space. All I’ll say is I just hope that if it ever happens people don’t think it was my idea. 😂😂😮 Great vid though Gav. That body shell looks amazing. That slop in the front end is a bit shocking though that thing will never track straight and true 😳 I thought the TT02 was bad for slop. 😂 I wrote one of my TT02’s off today using the neighbours wheel on their real car. Went from 30mph to a dead stop. The chassis flexed that much I managed to bend the 6mm thick solid centre prop shaft and I’m not talking about a little kink. 🤦🏻♂️ Hope you’re all set for Christmas though. I know I’m not….. again 🤦🏻♂️
Don't give them more tax ideas! 20% tax bill on purchasing the RC already for doing nothing at all after taking 35% from your employer and your pay packet in the first place!
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 🤔 .
This chassis has a lot of slop in the steering and horrible servo. If you want to drive fast and not worry about the Jekyll and Hyde performance you need to address the steering. I also recommend some form of active vehicle control on cars that go zing!
Like with a lot of this kind of car I immediately want to go out and buy one But I always have the same issue: it’s the car I like and not the chassis so I’ve been buying body’s over the last few years and not the kits
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 🤔 .
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.
@@garyloades5188 If the XR311 in 1977 can use a hidden body mounting system, then I'm sure an additional 47 years of RC development shouldn't have taken us backwards.

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 .

The Sport 3 drives really well with moderate Ali hop ups and a gyro👌
Definitely looked like a gyro would transform it! I love overpowered RC with low grip at the rear, but that looked like it rotated way too easily 😊
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

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! ;-)

Great review. I want the body more than the kit. Maybe my TT's will get a new shell? Especially since the first thing I'd do is remove the radio and use my own with gyro.
I think this is good for indoor and outdoor drifting 😁👍

The transmitter, can it be converted to left hand use, or is it right hand (steering) only?
Right only (update) Sorry was I wrong? My mistake, I really didn't know that.
