New Formula 10 Kit from HPI

with one comment

Looking pretty sharp, I have been thinking about building a new car. I think a formula 1 type car would be ideal, would be curious how it will perform considering it should weigh slightly less than most touring car kits.

Here is the link to HPI Racing Europe http://www.hpieurope.com/kit-info.php?partNo=102870

I am sure it will take time for it to make it to the US, but it is planned to be release in a kit form.
