A little about the Car

I got this HPI Pro 3 in April 2002. I paid £70 for it with some hop ups. The condition wasn't too bad, but i had every intention of changing some parts. Ok i never intended to change every part except 9, but 9 months, and over £1600 later, she was finished. It had top of the range electrics, which cost most of the budget. Most of the hop ups have been imported from various countries, including, USA, Hong kong, Sweden and Japan. This makes my car some what unique, and makes the ownership more enjoyable. This was intended to be my race car, but after its first race i decided that it was better to be left, and I also found on road cars slightly Boring, so Ive decided to strip it of its electrics and move on to racing off road.

So whats in it?
