Default HPI Cup Racer? Post em up!

OK so ive found driving my Blitz on asphalt may soon lead to many broken parts, lol. So im looking for something on road. I saw the cup racer and fell in love. Anyone else running one of these? Say with a brushless motor? It'll be a few months before i get around to purchasing one as the blitz is helping me to lose sight of my actual car projects, so post up if you have one! Or post up if you have a funner alternative!

Here's mine. It setup with the stock setup and HPI drift tires. It has a Tamiya black can motor in it which is more than enough power for this chassis.

I sold this car a few months back. It was a really cool car, I wish I still had it.

Tamiya black cans are performance tuned 27 turn fixed endbell stock motors. They are like silver cans only better.
