Wow your paint job is seriously cool! Did you paint it yourself? What HPI model is this?
I have an RS4 3 Type-SS with a Saleen S7R body and Lambo Murcielago body when in racing trim and BMW M3 for when I'm running in my rally conversion trim. All are very basic 1-color paint jobs. Yours are really niiice! You need to trim those body posts tho

cool thing about these is they're painted inside out, lots of fun doing graphics assbackawards 
I'm still planning on doing one of these someday with an R/c rotary airplane motor, someday it will be done oh yes...someday

Thats really awesome. I talked my friend's stepdad into buying an RX-8 body for his gas powered one. Is that gas powered or electric? I don't know much about them.

Those damn things are for sure faster than the real rx8. Good set up one can hit 0-60 in z06 like speed. I miss mine ;(. I had quite a few including 4tec, Savage, nitromt, mini-t, associated b4 buggy. God I miss them ;(. I need to go get me a 1/10th scale rc and do a rx8 like you did. Although I don't think my paint job would be quite as gorgeous as yours, because damn man that is one nicely done body. Props to the beautiful hpi rx8 :D

[QUOTE=RX-Hachi]Very nice work!
I also love to build RC cars. Here's a few pics of my HPI RX-8 body. The chassis is the Yokomo drift package.

Here are some pics. I will try to post rotary love first and a couple of my piston body favorites.
keep in mind most of these look better in person.
First up is the newest addition to my Body collection ( I have like 30 bodys ) check out the outlined flame in the checkers.

here is the First RX8 I did. I sold this one on Ebay a while back. color change from blue to purple. 
the last pic is an S2000. I really wish the picture did this body justice. it was a very nice paint job with white stars and specs. kinda had that night time sky look. swirls int he roof.... oh man, she was a nice body. I really wish the pictures could show all the cool stuff in there. but nope, it just looks black.
Sold this one on Ebay to.
