Beemer 12-15-2003, 03:03 AM Don't know any prices, should be the same as the other hpi body's from the same size. For the yellow: you can paint it any color you want ;)
These body's aren't even listed on the hpi site yet.

The 190mm will fit most 1/10 electro with 190 mm width (like the hpi pro2/3/4 or xray 1/10 or... just check your manual or website of your model to verify the wheelbase and/or bodywidth.
The 200mm model is meant for the nitro models and also fit most models except models from serpent, picco,... because these 1/10's are much wider (235mm)
So they will fit the RTR's too, but they're not included when you buy an RTR. So just buy an extra body and paint. ;)
Be sure when you order one, you use the Ref. number of the body you want. Because it's new and the dealers don't have this model in their catalogues yet.

:D well, there isn't (yet).
This body isn't realeased officially yet. Although it will be pretty soon. So the only/best thing you can do now is order one in you local hobby shop so you'll be the first to get one.
Jhouse 12-15-2003, 11:18 AM i have an hpi electric rs4 that i have dumped over 600 bucks into i will be buying hte rx-8 body for sure and i'm sure it will be 20 bucks just like the rest of them.

Great investigative work beemer thanks.

ZoominRex 12-19-2003, 04:40 PM I know the RS4 chassis runs with this body but which one? The Micro RTR version? I am intrigued! looks like fun!
Beemer 12-19-2003, 04:42 PM The micro is scale 1/18
This body is only 1/10.
So the 200mm will fit the Nitro rs4
Hope they'll make a micro body too. So I can put one on my micro.
ZoominRex 12-19-2003, 05:25 PM I'm gonna go into my local hobby shop this afternoon and take a look at the RTR RS4 3 EVO chassis. Hopefully he'll have an RX8 body in stock!
spdspappy 12-19-2003, 09:51 PM SWEET! Looks like my Serpent Impulse Pro will be getting a body to match its big brother (I'll post pics when it's finished).

I hear ya Mazda man, I can't sacrifice the detail. I would only get it if I had a Mazda Speed kit on my 8 :)
