XMOD/HPI rumors

eetoi · #1 06-17-2004, 11:29 AM

Well, everyone, I have heard a few rumors on this forum about HPI marketing and selling the xmods, and I am sorry if this is already public knowledge, but I took a picture of an RC magazine in Japan. It was an ad for XMODS, with HPI, and no Radioshack logo to be seen anywhere.

yeahyeah...theres a thread sumwhere...
HPI only markets it. (just like Radioshack)
i dont think they will make any parts for them though.

very interesting.. do the part #'s corolate with RS's numbering scheme?

i hope HPI starts making parts for XMods.
that would be so nice.
but my question is:
why does HPI wanna associate with XMods anyway?
money?
i guess they both win,
Radioshack gets more buyers... (cause HPi = good so pple must think Xmods must = good also)
and HPI probally gets a certin percentage.
Radioshack has good money making schemes.

But hpi isn't saying they are in with xmods in the united states. The only thing I can say is that I don't think anyone in japan would buy from radioshack.
