HPI have released 2 new servos, the first is this high performance SF-32TT Digital Servo that is perfect for use on the steering of Savage trucks and truggies. The gear train is machined titanium for extreme strength, while the digital design provides huge amounts of torque throughout the steering range for increased steering, highly precise and consistent steering response. The heat sink fins on the case keep the motor running cool when the going gets tough. The other new servo is the high performance SFL-30MG Digital Servo that is perfect for use on the steering of HPI Baja trucks and buggies offering precision steering movements and is compatible with all radio systems on the market today, including high-speed systems. It has a high-output heavy duty motor which offers a continuous 18kg-cm of torque through the entire servo sweep, a heat sink case to keep temps down, a machined metal gear train, including a new hybrid metal/plastic 1st gear, compared to the normal all-plastic 1st gears. Also included is an aluminum servo horn for maximum strength and durability

The Shizuoka show is on this weekend in Japan, and as usual the Japanese companies are out in force showing their new products at their home show. HPI Racing have released a number of new items, the most interesting of which being the new Racing 32 H-01 and H-02 chassis’, which as the name suggests is a new 1/32nd scale racer. The H-02 chassis shown above, is a full race spec version with carbon throughout and is essentially a tiny Cyclone 12X pan car, complete with foam tires. The H-01 is the RTR version of the same car and features lightweight plastics throughout and will come with a beautiful scale body and is supplied with a 2.4Ghz radio system, as well as a charger / workbench. Also new on the same stand from Hot Bodies is the Flux powered version of the World Championship winning D8 buggy. This brushless car is still only a prototype, but from the pictures you can see that it retains the mechanical brake system, has a composite plastic chassis and a forward mounted motor.

We have covered the HPI Formula Ten already but at the Show, HPI showed off the car with replica paint schemes and they look sweet.
