Someone have early HPI catalog?
Looking for the early ones before the HPI cars were introduced.
My main interest are those showing option parts for RC10L and RC12L.
Thanks.

There was one on ebay a little while back. Maybe you can save the pics from the auction, for some reason i'm not able to.

Kent posted this page in my HPI thread a couple years ago. I believe it's from '97.

Thanks, that link worked for me and was very helpful.
I had a page saved similar to the '97 but was looking for part# for the RC10L wide chassis.

I'm not sure of the part number for the wide chassis, I want to say 6001 or 6002. I have one (#6007), but it is a "level 1" kit which included the lower aero pod brace. I'm going to guess they may have had a "level 2" which added the upper pod brace and maybe a "level 3" that added the rear chassis brace.

Thanks, interesting informations.
DidnĀ“t know there were different chassis kits available.
I wondered why they used #8000 for the chassis when other graphite parts for the RC10L used 6... numbers, so seems a typo.

Do you know when they introduced those graphite parts for the RC10L?

I posted a few early HPI catalogs in the Scans Archive - Vintage Catalog forum.

Hi Guys,

Would anyone know what color are the #6100 aluminum brush heat sinks?

They are the same smokey blue color as the HPI wing buttons.

Hi WC1982,

Cool thank you for that, the ones I have aren't HPI then,

the first pair I found are Trinity purple ones.

The next pair one is red and the other is black.

I first thought bugger I wish they were a matching pair,

then I realized, Dave you dummy one is red for positive the other black for negative. :roll:

I wonder who made them?

Dave. :)
