Now available from HPI Racing is the Stage-D Mazda RX-8!

Drift events like D1 Grand Prix are becoming extremely popular in Japan and America, and have made full scale drifting one of the most exciting and fastest growing motor sports in the world. The thrill of sideways drift action has been captured in the new Stage-D kit with the popular Sprint 2, a new Mazda body shell and specially designed drifting tyres.

The brand new Mazda RX-8 Mazdaspeed A Spec 200mm body! The all-new RX-8 from Mazda has hit the streets and proven to be extremely popular on the import tuner circuit. Now R/C touring car owners can have the first officially authorized RX-8 body, outfitted with actual Mazdaspeed A Spec body modifications

The Special drift tyres are included, moulded from hard compound rubber that has been developed purely for drifting. The HPI Japan drift team did extensive testing to find a hard compound that allows high revving drifting on paved surfaces, with extreme durability for hours and hours of drift action

To mount the tyres, high impact nylon 5 spoke wheels are included, 26mm up front and 30mm in the rear that feature a realistic deep dish/large lip look that fit perfectly on a wide range of 200mm R/C of JDM-style tuner car bodies like our Nissan Silvia S15 (#HP7479), Mazda RX-7 FD3S (#HP7482), Nissan 350Z (#HP7485) and Toyota Supra (#HP7486). The shiny chrome finish comes pre-masked in the tyre bead are to make gluing the tyres quick and easy.
