my mate Fritz works at that hobby co. and the only HPI parts they got are the body shells .
no one around in Syd is willing to import/ stock HPI parts as they had some sort of silly conditions on their distributors. But i havent been into it for over a year . Was costing too much .... money better spent on lowies then little cars

So I guess you'll be back into RC cars now then Vuey.

There is a mob in Newcastle that do online ordering and stock heaps of parts.

Hey if you want to get serious Billy let me know. Im actually on the committee out at Moorebank and have been racing RC cars for a long long time...... Ive got a garage full of old racing cars..... Not to bag out Vuey`s HPI but its a P.O.S for racing. If you just want a carpark basher it may be ok though. I wouldnt pay much for it though.

As for tracks there are quite a few that race nitro cars in sydney these days. Moorebank is the only permanent purpose built facility. They also race at Tempe, Penrith (Olympic Regatta Centre) and there is a new track at Whalan (Eastern Creek club).

Nope certainly didn't bag it out at all.
