A classic, the discontinued HPI-Racing Formula Ten radio-controlled (R/C) 1/10th scale on-road car (manual, body).

Several updates and other additions were made to the car:

• Controlling the vehicle is done using a Reflex Stick Pro 3.1 LCD 2.4 GHz FHSS 4-channel transmitter and receiver (manual).
• An Mtroniks tio Storm 14 electronic speed controller is installed.
• A default 540 motor (27T, brushed, 14000 RPM) is installed, but can be swapped for:
• Mabuchi Sport Tuned RS-540 motor (silver can, 23T, brushed, 18300 RPM)
• Super Stock RZ motor (23T, brushed, 27500 RPM) (manual)
• Lightly-Tuned motor (28T, brushed, 16300 RPM) (manual)
• CR-Tuned motor (35T, brushed, 12000 RPM) (manual)
• Carson Launcher 2.0 (12T, brushed, 32500 RPM)
See here for an explanation of the motor codes. In addition, there are spare brushes as well as brushes for cleaning the motors' commutators. All motors can be fitted with an extra heat sink.
• The steering servo is a default IC Servo TK-S03.
• The rear suspension was upgraded with an oil-filled shock damper from the F102 chassis; it contains the heaviest medium silicone damper oil 700 (purple).
• The model's default plastic bushings were removed; the differential housing has been upgraded with 1/4 x 3/8 x 1/8 rubber sealed ball bearings, and the front wheels now run with 5 x 10 x 4 mm rubber sealed ball bearings.
• All Tamiya-style battery connectors were also replaced with IC3 ones (capable of handling 60 A continous current). They have been treated with silicone for smoother (dis)connecting.
• The car's body has been spray painted with PS-59 dark metallic blue.
