We are very proud to introduce the fabulous Cup Racer kit from HPI! The
Cup Racer combines amazing features and racing spec in true-to-scale
one-tenth size, in what we call 'True Ten' design! With the HPI True
Ten performance chassis, you have the opportunity to experience the joy
of owning a super-realistic representation of some of the most
legendary sports cars ever made.
The concept behind the Cup Racer and True Ten scale is simple: to make the
best-looking, most realistic car models available.
To do this, the HPI body production department teamed up with our top
car designers to put together the the True Ten look, which
authentically reproduces actual cars in a way that makes them look
exactly like the real thing. These aren't slammed and lowered versions
lookalikes designed for ultimate performance, though: the True Ten
ideal is to replicate the real cars as they are in real life - in
width, height, length and detail, with details so precise that real car
fans wouldn't be able to tell the difference at first glance.
Authentic Detailing
The
True Ten series features the most painstaking attention to detail that
our designers have ever tackled. Every body line and curve from the
real car is represented in the crash-resistant bodyshell. Every door
line, bootlid and side skirt is represented exactly as it appears on
the real car. There are even reproductions of the actual windscreen
wipers, bumpers, exhaust systems and mirrors, allowing the HPI True Ten
series to deliver the utmost in scale car driving!
HPI graphics designers are already legendary for producing the most
accurate bodyshell graphics you can find, and when you combine that
with the uniquely crystal-clear bodyshells from our body production
department and the new ultra-scale accessories, you get
pure scale magic.
To complete the True Ten concept, the challenge
of the design team was to put the scale bodies on a chassis that is
truly deserving of the ultimate scale looks. This involved a complete
re-think of how scale RC cars are designed and used by today's RC
hobbyists. Scale modelers want something that just works, however
experienced RC hobbyists and racers want something that can be tuned to
perform. We think our guys nailed it.

Ready to Perform
Experienced RC racers will be able to take one
look at the Cup Racer chassis and see for themselves the performance
potential of this all-new chassis! A huge array of tuning adjustments
is possible using the standard kit parts.
The Cup Racer features full-time 4WD, a super-stiff chassis, oil-filled
shocks and inboard front shocks, plus as the ability to independently
adjust suspension settings such as caster, camber, track width, roll
centre, wheelbase, anti-dive, anti-squat, droop and much more! If you
like your cars to drive as well as they look, the Cup Racer is for you!
Designed for Excellence
From the very start, the True Ten scale Cup
Racer was engineered for top-level performance at a reasonable cost -
while still maintaining the true-to-scale look that scale modelers
desire. To accomplish this, HPI designers have taken it upon themselves
to perfect concepts that long-time HPI owners may recognize, but
haven't seen in their ultimate, final form.
With the Cup Racer, you can find elements of past HPI achievements put
together to make the ultimate scale RC enthusiast's machine - ready for
your hands to assemble and create the magic that is radio control
modeling.
