TRANS AM TA2 RACE CAR ACTION WITH THE GRRRACING E10

Michele Abbate, professional race car driver and co-founder of Grr Racing, continues to be a force to be reckoned with in road racing!  She was the first female to earn a podium finish in the ultra-competitive, rubber-burning, and fire-breathing V8 powered TA2 category and was voted Trans Am's Most Popular Driver in both 2020 and 2021.  As the highest finishing female in the TA2 class she continues to progress up the ranks of professional road racing both in the US and internationally.  HPI is proud to offer Michele's Chevrolet Camaro Trans Am TA2 race car as the latest E10 RTR touring car!

Featuring a bright yellow, grey and black livery, the Chevrolet Camaro is completely ready to go. It's fully trimmed and fitted to the chassis and even has a racing wing already attached! Brand new TA2 style wheels fitted with Vintage Performance Tires are installed from the factory for excellent grip and handling!

The RTR E10 is designed so anyone can take it for a spin! Arriving out of the box in Ready-To-Run (RTR) form fully built and painted, it's a simple matter of “charge and go” for hours of fun! It includes a high-performance motor, intuitive steering wheel controller and waterproof electronic speed controller with proportional controls including reverse functions, which helps it drive and maneuver just like a real car.

Features, looks, performance and price: the RTR E10 Touring is the easiest way to experience the fun and excitement of driving an RC touring car!

HPI RACING IS PROUD TO PARTNER WITH MICHELE!

We're excited to extend our partnership with GRRracing's Michele Abbate! Michele Abbate is a professional racecar driver in the Trans Am series and four-time US road racing champion. Michele is one of the few female drivers in the entire National Trans Am TA2 class and finished 5th in the West Coast series in her debut year. She is the youngest female to ever earn a podium finish in the GT1 category of the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) National Championship Runoffs and she is the first female to ever be awarded the Lindley Bothwell Driver of Year Award in the 66 years of its existence.

Michele is no stranger to HPI though, and has been repping her race vehicles with custom HPI RC replicas since day one! So it was a natural progression for us to take the awesome GRRracing Trans Am TA2 racer and mount it on the E10 RTR platform so everyone can join in!

 

 

 

 

EASY TO DRIVE WITH A REAL STEERING WHEEL CONTROLLER!

The HPI Racing E10 touring car is super-easy to drive and get familiar with – all you have to do is plug in the included battery and switch on the radio, then the car. It’s that easy! To drive the car, simply pick up the controller with your left hand, put your left index finger into the trigger area, and then put your right hand on the steering wheel – it’s as natural as driving a real car! Turn the wheel to go left and right, and gently pull on the trigger with your left index finger to go forwards. To stop the car, gently push away from you with your left index finger - hold it there to go into reverse. It takes seconds to get used to this easy operation, and pretty soon you'll be racing with your friends!

REAL RUBBER TIRES AND COMPETITION WHEELS

The HPI Racing E10 features a set of treaded rubber tires for maximum grip on just about every paved surface. You'll get great acceleration, braking and cornering performance from these 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. Each tire is securely glued to a brand new, cool-looking TA2 competition style wheel, molded from flexible yet firm plastic. The wheels look great on the shelf or on the track! If you want to customize your E10, you can always swap out or replace the wheels and the tires mounted to them, just like a real car!

DISC BRAKES AND CALIPERS!

Along with a great-looking racer body and competition wheels, a complete set of replica disc brakes and calipers complete the amazing look of the HPI Racing E10 touring car. The calipers are mounted to the hubs and uprights, just like on a real car, and the discs turn with the wheels for total realism! (Note: these are not functional brakes! The electric motor does the actual braking.)

REAL WORKING SUSPENSION!

The HPI Racing E10 touring car is fitted with extra-long double wishbone suspension at all four corners for great control in the corners. Spring-loaded shock absorbers absorb the bumps and dips in the road and the thick upper and lower suspension arms are fitted to durable uprights fitted with ball bearings for maximum runtime and drivetrain longevity.

RESPONSIVE STEERING

The HPI Racing E10 is fitted with a strong and reliable steering system and a tough and durable water-resistant servo, taking the steering commands from the handheld controller and turning the wheels left and right through a double bellcrank, giving you complete control! The steering parts are durable yet flexible, allowing them to bounce back after minor crashes so you can keep driving for hours!   

4WD SHAFT DRIVETRAIN

With a 4WD shaft drivetrain, the HPI Racing E10 can be driven on just about any paved surface. Thanks to the spur gear and motor pinion cover, debris such as pebbles and stones can't get caught in the gears to slow you down! A central driveshaft takes the power down the middle of the car, and enclosed gear diffs front and rear transmit the power from the motor to each tire through ball bearing-supported driveshafts at each corner of the car.

 

 

CUSTOMIZE YOUR E10!

With the full range of HPI custom bodies for your car, it's easy to turn your E10 touring car into any kind of car you can imagine! Do you fancy swapping for a snarling European exotic track machine, a sideways-facing drift car, a canyon carving roadster or even an endurance-bred monster racer? All these looks and more are waiting for you! To complete the look, you can also have a look at the huge range of available custom wheels and even replica drift and grip tires from HPI Racing!
