HPI Sport 3 Flux 1973 Porsche Carrera RSR

HPI’s shaft-drive sport tourer can now be had with classic 911 Carrera curves in two paint schemes, rolling out on Fuchs replica wheels with Flux brushless power. Deeply offset wheels deliver 200mm track width to fill out the RSR’s signature flared fenders, and with the included 3S-rated speed control and 4000kV motor, HPI claims 70+ mph – nice. You can get the full details from HPI here, but in the meantime, let’s check out the pics:

Which paint scheme do you prefer? I’m having trouble choosing myself, both look fantastic.

The Sport 3 chassis is a rugged and proven parking-lot performer with its enclosed shaft-drive system, all-metal motor mount, fully adjustable suspension, and steel dogbone driveshafts – CVD shafts are available as an option, along with lots of other hop-ups, including carbon fiber shock towers and aluminum shocks. That’s the brushed version shown below, but the features are the same.

HPI’s TF-51 radio looks comfortable with its drop-down wheel, which can be set up for lefty use – nice touch. The four-channel pistol also gets rubber grips and bumpers, and ample adjustable setting including end points, dual rate, and steering expo. It’s pretty loaded, especially for an RTR radio.

The fan-cooled Flux power system is waterproof, sensorless, and 3S-ready with a 4000kV motor.

The chassis has plenty of room for a variety of pack sizes, and HPI keeps it simple with a hook-and-loop strap to keep the battery where it belongs. This angle also gives a good view of the cast allow motor mount. Note how the mount extends to stiffen the chassis and is finned to help dissipate heat.

Sharp Fuchs-style wheels and realistically treaded tires complement the Porsche bodywork nicely, it looks tight.
