HPI On BBC Top Gear

[k£v!n]

“The internationally reknowned television auto programme Top Gear will be featuring HPI and Hot Bodies nitro-powered trucks in an upcoming episode! The trucks used were the Savage X 4.6 and the HB Lightning Stadium 2 Pro. Top Gear’s mystery racer The Stig and presenter Richard Hammond, along with Hot Bodies and HPI trucks, were involved in a six-minute feature. Watch the show to see everything they got up to during two days of filming! Top Gear airs weekly; the HB and HPI trucks are featured in the final episode of the series (and the last new Top Gear for 2007) airing on the 23rd of December at 8PM on BBC2. Replays will show during Christmas week.” [Source - www.rc-area.co.uk]

Will look forward to that then....I mean what could make the best show on TV better...put some RC cars in it!

[telboy]

Is Adam on it? Is he the 'R/C' stig?

[James]

lol

'some say his right nipple is shaped like the nurburgring'

Can anyone confirm we may have found his true identity

[xx4-nutter]

i bet they play that clip from blue peter with lewis hamilton lol !

would be awsome if they attended a proper BRCA 1/10th off road national.

[James]

We all know nats are awesome but somewhere like the NEO 08 would be better i think, more visually impressive to the general public

[James]

Great to see RC on TG, dont like to say it but seemed to be a bit random to me though

[showtime]

yeah what a load of bollocks it was too!

a truggy & a monster truck! the 2 shittest classes

the only good thing to happen was the truggy got ran over

[josh_smaxx]

And the savage got blown up

[xx4-nutter]

t`was almost a pizz take, made it rc look rather toyish

could have been farrr better, i was very dissapointed 5th gear did a better job and there shit !

[mole2k]

I was a bit dissappointed I had hoped they would do something along the lines of what 5th gear did and take it a bit more of the serious side of things. Somebody should invite them to a national to race, see if the stig can get into an A final

I know, I know it was a nitro smelly thing, but the opportunity for a jokette was too great to miss.

I was disappointed by the feature what was the purpose of it really? It could have been so much better.

[telboy]

to be honest, it made me laugh.

Could have done a bit more though.

Hpi ought to get them to attend a decebt meeting like the neo as part of their tests that they do.
I think a meeting like that would show how serious people are about the racing.
