HPI 160930 Sport 3 Drift "Aurimas 'Odi' Bakchis" Nissan Silvia S15

HPI is excited to add another legendary team to their All-Star Drift lineup! The Sport 3 Drift range proudly welcomes the Feal Suspension Race Team. Founded by Aurimas “Odi” Bakchis, the CEO of Feal Suspension, Odi began his professional drifting career in 2011 and has since become a proven championship contender. Odi began his motorsport journey racing motocross, where he also experimented with customizing his own motorcycle suspension. This led to the creation of Feal Suspension. Venturing into drifting in 2009, earned his professional license in 2010, and was named Formula Drift's "Rookie of the Year" in 2011.

Odi competed in the inaugural Formula Drift World Championship securing his first of many Formula Drift victory at Road Atlanta in May 2015. In 2018, he debuted the Nissan Silvia (S15), which has undergone several transformations over the years. Most recently, the car showcased Odi's own Feal Suspension Race Team livery during the 2023 and 2024 seasons.

To celebrate this incredible achievement, HPI is introducing an all-new, officially licensed HPI Racing Nissan S15 Widebody 200mm Bodyshell, recreated with the Feal Suspension Race Team’s striking 2023/2024 livery in 1:10th scale. This highly detailed Nissan Silvia S15 body is paired with a full set of brand-new Kansei Astro Wheels in white, each wrapped in HPI Racing T-DRIFT Slick drift tires, so you can start sliding as soon as you hit the throttle.

Under the hood, this 1/10th scale drift machine features the HPI Racing Sport 3 Touring Car chassis. With full-time shaft-driven 4WD, a fully sealed drivetrain, waterproof 2.4 GHz electronics and radio gear, independent double wishbone suspension, and adjustable oil-filled shocks. New Body plastics include: Wing Mirrors, Engine Supercharger, Intercooler and Roof Vent details.

HPI is not only adding another legendary replica drifter to our lineup, but we’re also introducing a brand-new wheel design to our extensive selection of 1/10 wheels, tires, and bodies. Inspired by Odi’s personal choice of rims, the Kansei Astro wheel is a favorite among JDM enthusiasts worldwide. Featuring a Gloss White finish and eye-catching Orange spoke stickers, these wheels look every bit as stunning—albeit in miniature!

A slick plastic-type drifting tire for easy sideways action and long tyre life! Our hardest compound drifting tyre yet, the T-Drift tyre will get you drifting and getting sideways in no time. Because of the very hard and slick tread of the tyre, you will be able to get into drift mode faster than ever! These are a special hard plastic type tyre that is ideal for drift drivers who are new to intermediate level.

FEATURES:

• 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.
• 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 Drift 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.
• The Sport 3 Drift 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.
• The Sport 3 Drift 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 Drift 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 suspension of the Sport 3 Drift 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 adjustments to suit different road conditions.
• The Sport 3 is easy to drive with the included All-New 4 Channel 2.4Ghz FHSS TF-51 Transmitter. The NEW RF-51 receiver features a waterproof silicone inner jacket for use in any weather. A built-in failsafe is also a major feature: Signal failsafe for electric vehicles, and signal & battery for the RF-51N on Nitro vehicles! The RF-51 also uses the HPI 4-way LED Adaptor to add headlights and taillights with the built-in LED Light controller!
