nürnberg international hobby show news

Post by germanrc10gt »

hi guys

nürnberg hobby show is on right now and there is some neat things hitting the shelves this spring.
i reallly dig that hpi bodies especially the new camaro. looks like the real deal, an aggressive monster.

in the tamiya video: note the small green unimog at the tamiya shelf ain't that cute. i don't like mercedes but i'm gonna get me one of these. if they would only come up with an e36 or e46 coupe body. there is a huge crowd waiting for that bodies, i know that from the bimmer forums. they could make a quick buck but lets see what future will bring.

also nice to see hpi releases a desert truck kit for the old guys like us that like building, and white plastics are even more vintage:) i like.

Looks like they're still pumping out different bodies for the XC chassis.

SWEET!!!

I'm trying to get my hands on one of those Cup racers, and a 2002 BMW would look awesome on it. I also dig that E30 M3. Its nice to see some of the old favs making a comeback. That 1:1 replica of the Sand scorcher was pretty cool. If that was bought from Cali, it couldn't have been cheep.

that blitz kit looks awsome. I wanted to get a scorcher but I'm liking this kit . Looks like HPI did a little homework on this.

cool! scorcher ball diff.
the 1/1 scale scorcher was done by some german volkswagen customizers.
i guess they had to order those tires in ca though. i for one never seen these tires on any german car before :lol:
the guy next to the scorcher is the builder and shop owner.

new hpi stuff: premium 1/8 scale buggy (the world has been waiting for a new 1/8 buggy for sure)
and a new e30 body. i don't know why everybody keeps releasing e30 bodies but i do know their time is over on german streets. most of them got crashed by young men that have a serious problem with figuring out the right speed for them and their cars or other speed freaks with some mental issues living in very rural areas :lol:
