HPI doesn't sell one but they have a forum for voting. If they get enough votes they may make one.

I picked up and E-Maxx late last year - A max body would look kinda odd on it - but if it fit, I might go for one.

HPI RS4

I don't remember if its a mini or not. its a 1/10, of the Toyota Altezza. I would do a maxima body if one was available, would be better as an I30 though .

I have a modified 1/10 scale Serpent Impulse with a "big-block" Nova-Rossi 8 port Turbo engine and a 1/8 scale HPI Proceed with a RB "Collari" engine. I would love to get a Maxima body ob one of those!!

What kind of bodies are you guys running now? >>

My TA04 is wearing the Audi A4 STW body. It's a Tamiya version body, and I know they are heavy and not as aerodynamically supplemental like the HPI and Protoform bodies, but nothing beats Tamiya when it comes to detail and realism.

I'm currently prepping a Impreza WRC (older generation)...gonna leave the sponsors off for this one...I want it to look like a street car.

What bodies are you guys running?

I have 2 elec. ones still for sale that I don't race with anymore. HPI RS4, and RC10 B2. Anyone interested? They're just sitting around collecting dust. I can't use them cause when my dad sold my old RC10, he sold my charger. PM me if anyone is interested, otherwise they'll have to go on ebay one of these days.

I used to have a Kyosho Dodge Ram with an OS .15 and it would break everytime I drove it. I put about a $1000 into it and finally decided to sell it on e-bay for $300. Thery're fun when they are working right, but I'd rather put my money into something I can drive now.

Any questions?

Oh and BTW, anyone know where I could hunt down a discontinued Tamiya Audi A4 body? I need it new, with decals. The A4 body I have now was done up like the touring car and now that it's kind of bashed up, I want to do another one like a street car. TIA

There's the E-Maxx which uses two motors, or the T-Maxx which is nitro powered (.15 I think). I've driven both, the nitro version definitely has a higher top speed...but if you want tire spinning torque, the electric is the way to go.
