HPI 1/10 Sport 3 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
When it comes to the world of muscle cars, one name consistently tops the list of 'most iconic brands': the Chevrolet Camaro! The 1969 Z28 Custom would surely top the list of most recognizable of the original Camaro, and with a huge range of factory and dealer options to customize the street-based Trans Am racer, it would dominate road racing around the world for many years!
From its very start, the Chevrolet Camaro was a performance-based street car destined for the track - and it could (and did!) win: at road circuits and drag strips from the West Coast of the USA all the way to Europe and beyond.
This 1/10th scale version is an officially licensed replica equipped with the latest HPI Racing Touring Car chassis, the track-based Sport 3! With full-time 4WD and a fully sealed shaftdrivetrain, waterproof 2.4 GHz electronics and radio gear, fully independent double wishbone suspension and adjustable oil-filled shocks, it's ready to race on any circuit - or just cruise the street in style!
The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Custom is an icon of the road and the track, and it's ready for you to take just about anywhere for high-revving fun!
The Sport 3 rolls on extra-cool 7-spoke wheels to bring the overall look just a bit into the modern age. The deep black finish means the wheels are well hidden at first glance, and in fact, you may have to look very close to get the full effect - now that's what we call a multi-layered design! We love the mix of instantly recognizable vintage look of the car with the more contemporary wheels, and we're sure you will, too!
Each wheel is wrapped in our tried and tested 26mm SPEC-GRIP rubber tires complete with multi condition tread and high traction rubber "K" compound for maximum grip on just about every paved surface. You'll get great acceleration, braking and cornering performance from this semi-slick, grippy rubber tires! The tires are molded in a durable, long-wearing rubber compound that will give you a long life for hours of fun and enjoyment.
Debuting in 1967, Chevrolet positioned the Camaro to be a performance vehicle from the very outset. By 1969, Chevrolet had won the American Trans-Am title (and would win again later in the year) and the track-focused Camaro Z28 street-racer proved to be a huge sales success, tripling sales from 1968, thanks to its standard 302 cubic inch V-8 with 4-barrel carburetor and Hurst close-ratio four-speed gearbox, plus a huge range of factory and dealer options such as dual 4-barrel carbs, chambered exhaust pipes and front or four-wheel disc brakes.
The functional front splitter and rear spoiler took the track pedigree to the road, boosting aerodynamics and grip at top speeds. This example features the popular Super Scoop option to draw in cool air from the base of the windshield, plus the body-color front bumper option, adding an extra dimension of cool to the profile of the Z28!
The main chassis is formed from a single piece of reinforced plastic and features the drivetrain tunnel molded right down the middle, just like a real car. It's a step beyond any plastic tub chassis car available today.
One of the ways we gave the Sport 3 the best possible handling was to make sure all the components fit as low as possible in the chassis. This gives the car an amazingly low center of gravity for optimum cornering capabilities.
The Sport 3 features a versatile electronic speed controller that can be used with modern lithium-polymer (LiPo) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Please note a LiPo adapter plug is not included, your model shop will be able to provide one.
The Sport 3 chassis can fit lithium-polymer (LiPo) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) packs of various sizes, including the extra-long 7-cell NiMH packs. Whatever your power requirements, it can hold it all! A thick hook-and-loop strap holds the pack securely in place, and a simple battery block screws into place to allow you to adjust the weight distribution forward or backward for extra steering or acceleration.
Like all HPI cars, the Sport 3 is easy to drive with the included steering wheel controller.
The All-New 2.4Ghz FHSS TF-50 Transmitter features:
- Drop down steering position for a natural control position
- Foam covered wheel for extra comfort and grip
- Swappable steering wheel design for left handers!
- Rubber finger and thumb handle grips
- Rubber bumpers on all corners for the highest protection.
- Magnetic area on the base for body clips or screws while you work!
- Digital on and off switch
- Audible warnings if you leave the TF-50 switched on, and if the batteries are low on power!
- Servo Reverse, EPA, Trims and Dual Rate switches.
The NEW RF-50 receiver features a waterproof silicone inner jacket for use in any weather and a built-in failsafe - Signal on the RF-50 for electric cars, and signal and battery life for the RF-50N on the Nitro!
The Sport 3 features full-time four-wheel drive to give you the most control and precision on the road or track. All four wheels are driven by heavy duty gear differentials at the front and rear, just like a real car. The extra traction gives you increased acceleration and cornering control for maximum confidence and fun.
The drivetrain of all the Sport 3 models features the motor mounted longitudinally in the molded chassis, next to the long driveshaft that goes down the center of the car. The entire drivetrain, including the central driveshaft and gear diffs, is completely sealed to prevent dirt, rocks and debris from damaging or binding the drivetrain. The driveshaft, diffs and axles spin on ball bearings to maximize drivetrain efficiency.
The central driveshaft that connects the front and rear differentials is easily accessed from underneath the chassis. This allows the drivetrain to be completely sealed to protect it from rocks and debris no matter where you may want to drive your car.
You can easily replace the stock driveshaft cover on the bottom of the chassis with a carbon fiber cover that provides extra stiffness and extra-cool looks.
Getting to the differentials for quick adjustments is a matter of removing just 4 screws - this allows you to pop out the diff and change the grease, check the gears or just give it a general service.
Bevel gear differentials at each end of the car transfer power from the driveshaft to the dogbones and axles that drive each wheel. The all-metal construction allows the drivetrain to withstand powerful brushless motors for easy upgrading in the future. Rubber-sealed ball bearings support the differentials and each diff can be tuned independently by changing the diff grease.
The optional diff spool removes all diff action for direct traction and braking action from your trigger finger straight to the wheels.
The suspension of the Sport 3 uses the race-proven double-wishbone suspension design, similar to a full-scale modern race car. You'll be able to control the anti-squat and anti-dive of the front and rear arms using the standard pivot blocks, and the option parts allow you to adjust the sweep and toe angles. You'll also be able to easily change the roll center front and rear with the racing-style vertical ballstud mounting on both the inner and outer camber link mounts. Multiple shock mounting positions provide a full range of shock suspension angle adjustment to suit different road conditions.
The option pair of carbon fiber shock towers not only look amazing, but also adds extra stiffness to the suspension for optimal performance. The carbon fiber material is extra-lightweight which lowers the center of gravity on the Sport 3 as well.
The Sport 3 is fitted with a set composite coilover-style oil-filled shocks, just like what you'd see on a real race car! The fully adjustable shocks are fully tunable to provide the optimum chassis performance on a wide variety of road surfaces. The ride height is quickly adjustable by using the threaded shock collars. Further tuning adjustments are also possible by changing the springs and shock oil weight.
For optimum performance, you'll want a set of anodized aluminum threaded shocks that are machined to perfection. The full anodized aluminum threaded shock body, aluminum shock collar, aluminum top and bottom caps will allow you to make the most precise tuning adjustments.
The Sport 3 front end uses the strong C-hub style suspension seen on the latest RC touring cars, with a vertical ball stud camber mount that lets you change the front end roll center - which is a critical racing adjustment that allows the Sport 3 to be a step above other sport-level RC touring cars. The suspension arm also features multiple shock mounting holes for easy shock angle adjustment.
The rear hub is fitted with a vertical ball stud style adjustment that allows easy adjustment of the rear roll center. Moving the ball stud up or down with the optional spacers changes the traction characteristics of the rear end as the car goes through the turns. The suspension arm also features 3 different shock mounting holes for easy shock angle adjustment.
The optional all-in-one CVD drive shafts greatly increases the precision and efficiency of the entire driveline and steering for maximum driving performance.
The performance tested adjustable double bell crank system provides optimum steering precision at all speeds. A metal drag link plate connects the cranks for extra durability, the additional drag link mounting positions also allows for Ackermann angle adjustments.
The Sport 3 includes an adjustable multipiece cam-style servo saver, which protects the servo from crash damage. In the event of a crash or collision, the front wheels usually take a big portion of the blow and transmits the impact directly to the steering servo. The strong spring-loaded cam action of the servo saver is designed to absorb this force and protect the servo gears from the impact!
The cast aluminum cam-style motor mount holds the motor in place for a secure pinion/spur connection. Two screws hold the cam firmly in position on the mount, and cooling fins on the lateral support aid heat dissipation to keep the motor running as efficiently as possible.
The Sport 3 is fully fitted with a set of metal-shielded ball bearings for maximum efficiency. The metal shields keep the dust away from the internals while the smooth precision bearings provides for optimum power delivery from the power source out into the driveline.
To protect the front suspension, chassis and body from impacts big and small, an extra thick foam bumper is securely fastened to the front of the Sport 3.
A huge variety of option bodies, wheels and tires from HPI lets you fully customize the style of your Sport 3 to suit your style.
The adjustable height body mounts let you fit any 1/10thscale touring car body from HPI Racing on to the Sport 3 chassis. All you need to do is adjust the front and rear body mounts to allow the wheels and chassis elements to fit properly underneath the body. Body pins hold the mounts in place, and the multiple mounting hole positions allow you to fine-tune the exact body fitment.
You can fit any 1/10thscale touring car body from HPI Racing onto the Sport 3, from hot hatches to supercars, pick-up trucks to supertouring racers. All you need to do is adjust the body mounts front and rear to allow the wheels to fit underneath the body properly. A simple system using body pins hold the mounts in place, and you can fine-tune the fit to get the exact ride height you want.
