A Classic Reimagined!

HPI-Racing is proud to introduce latest addition to the Sport 3 line-up: a stunning replica bodyshell of the iconic BMW 2002 Turbo! This legendary car from the 1970s is not just a symbol of automotive history, but a perfect fusion of style and performance, now brought to life in 1/10th scale!

The BMW 2002 Turbo, introduced in 1973, is one of the most revered sports cars of its time. The first-ever production turbo car for BMW and any European car maker, it combined power, precision, and a distinctive style that made it an instant classic. Powered by a 2.0-liter, turbocharged engine, the 2002 Turbo was the first production BMW to feature an exhaust turbocharger, delivering exhilarating performance as well as thrilling driving dynamics. Its bold, aggressive design and racing pedigree cemented its place as a true automotive icon.

Under the hood, the 1/10th scale version of the BMW 2002 Turbo is equipped with the HPI Racing Sport 3 touring car chassis! With a full-time shaft drive, fully sealed 4WD drivetrain, waterproof electronics, 2.4GHz radio gear, fully independent double wishbone suspension and adjustable oil-filled shocks it’s Ready to Rock in all conditions. It's got plenty of power for 4-wheel drifts and jaw-dropping speeds at the pull of a trigger!

This officially licensed, meticulously crafted body captures the spirit of the original, featuring its aggressive front end, distinctive side stripes, and iconic "Turbo" badge. It’s a perfect tribute to the car that defined the performance hatchback era, now brought to life for RC enthusiasts.

Whether you're a classic car enthusiast, an experienced RC hobbyist, or simply someone who enjoys the thrill of RC driving, the HPI Racing Sport 3 with the BMW 2002 Turbo bodyshell delivers.

Embrace the legacy and drive the legend - on and off the track.

ALL-NEW LED LIGHTING

The Sport 3 BMW 2002 Turbo comes equipped with a brand-new LED lighting kit.

The era-appropriate warm-white headlights, tail lights, and brake lights are all controlled through the new TF-51 transmitter and RF-51 receiver, which now feature an integrated light controller. This system is channelled through the HPI 4-way LED Adapter for seamless operation.

HPI Flux Technology for Ultra-Fast Speeds

What sets apart the Sport 3 FLUX from our other offerings is the HPI Flux brushless power installed in every Flux-powered machine. The Sport 3 FLUX is fitted with the awesome FLUX MMH-4000 motor, one of our most powerful motors for 1/10th scale cars. Thanks to the robust FLUX EMH-3S speed controller, you can strap in your choice of 2S or 3S LiPo power (or a 7.2v-8.4v NiMH battery with a suitable T-plug) to give the car an unbelievable power out of the turns and speeds of up to 70mph (124km/h) on the straight, when using optional gearing! 

*To achieve 70mph you will need the HP114569 - HIGH SPEED GEAR SET and HP160162 - PLAZMA 11.1V 3200mAh 35C LiPo Battery Pack

FS-15 8-SPOKE WHEELS

The 26mm FS-15 wheels feature a bold 8-spoke design, adding a touch of racing heritage to any RC vehicle. Inspired by classic motorsport aesthetics, they offer a unique, eye-catching look that stands out both on and off the track. Crafted from HPI’s High-Impact Nylon, the FS-15 wheels are tough, delivering exceptional style, quality, and performance

HPI SPEC-GRIP TIRES

Each wheel is wrapped in HPI's tried and tested 26mm SPEC-GRIP rubber tires, complete with multi-condition tread and high traction rubber "K" compound 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.

ONE-PIECE MOLDED CHASSIS

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.

LOW PROFILE LAYOUT DESIGN

One of the ways we gave the Sport 3 the best possible handling was to make sure all the components fit as low as possible in the chassis. This gives the car an amazingly low center of gravity for optimum cornering capabilities.

3S LIPO CAPABLE

The Sport 3 FLUX 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, your model shop will be able to provide one.

ALL-NEW RADIO GEAR

Like all HPI cars, the Sport 3 is easy to drive with the included steering wheel controller.
The All-New 2.4Ghz FHSS TF-50 Transmitter features:

• Drop down steering position for a natural control position
• Foam covered wheel for extra comfort and grip
• Swappable steering wheel design for left handers!
• Rubber finger and thumb handle grips
• Rubber bumpers on all corners for the highest protection.
• Magnetic area on the base for body clips or screws while you work!
• Digital on and off switch
• Audible warnings if you leave the TF-50 switched on, and if the batteries are low on power!
• Servo Reverse, EPA, Trims and Dual Rate switches.

The NEW RF-50 receiver features a waterproof silicone inner jacket for use in any weather and a built-in failsafe - Signal on the RF-50 for electric cars, and signal and battery life for the RF-50N on the Nitro!

FULL-TIME FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE

The Sport 3 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.

BOTTOM-ACCESS DRIVESHAFT

The central driveshaft that connects the front and rear differentials is easily accessed from underneath the chassis. This allows the drivetrain to be completely sealed to protect it from rocks and debris no matter where you may want to drive your car.

EASY ACCESS DIFFERENTIALS

Getting to the differentials for quick adjustments is a matter of removing just 4 screws - this allows you to pop out the diff and change the grease, check the gears or just give it a general service.

4-GEAR METAL DIFFS

Bevel gear differentials at each end of the car transfer power from the driveshaft to the dogbones and axles that drive each wheel. The all-metal construction allows the drivetrain to withstand powerful brushless motors for easy upgrading in the future. Rubber-sealed ball bearings support the differentials and each diff can be tuned independently by changing the diff grease.

DOUBLE-WISHBONE FULLY ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION

The suspension of the Sport 3 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 adjustment to suit different road conditions.

OIL-FILLED THREADED SHOCKS

The Sport 3 is fitted with a set composite coilover-style oil-filled shocks, just like what you'd see on a real race car! The fully adjustable shocks are fully tunable to provide the optimum chassis performance on a wide variety of road surfaces. The ride height is quickly adjustable by using the threaded shock collars. Further tuning adjustments are also possible by changing the springs and shock oil weight.

TOUGH FRONT END SUSPENSION

The Sport 3 front end uses the strong C-hub style suspension seen on the latest RC touring cars, with a vertical ball stud camber mount that lets you change the front end roll center – which is a critical racing adjustment that allows the Sport 3 to be a step above other sport-level RC touring cars. The suspension arm also features multiple shock mounting holes for easy shock angle adjustment.

TUNABLE REAR SUSPENSION

The rear hub is fitted with a vertical ball stud style adjustment that allows easy adjustment of the rear roll center. Moving the ball stud up or down with the optional spacers changes the traction characteristics of the rear end as the car goes through the turns. The suspension arm also features 3 different shock mounting holes for easy shock angle adjustment.

DOUBLE BELLCRANK STEERING

The performance tested adjustable double bell crank system provides optimum steering precision at all speeds. A metal drag link plate connects the cranks for extra durability, the additional drag link mounting positions also allows for Ackermann angle adjustments.

RUGGED SPRING-LOADED SERVO SAVER

The Sport 3 includes an adjustable multipiece cam-style servo saver, which protects the servo from crash damage. In the event of a crash or collision, the front wheels usually take a big portion of the blow and transmits the impact directly to the steering servo. The strong spring-loaded cam action of the servo saver is designed to absorb this force and protect the servo gears from the impact!

ALUMINUM MOTOR MOUNT

The cast aluminum cam-style motor mount holds the motor in place for a secure pinion/spur connection. Two screws hold the cam firmly in position on the mount, and cooling fins on the lateral support aid heat dissipation to keep the motor running as efficiently as possible.

METAL-SHIELDED BALL BEARINGS

The Sport 3 is fully fitted with a set of metal-shielded ball bearings for maximum efficiency. The metal shields keep the dust away from the internals while the smooth precision bearings provides for optimum power delivery from the power source out into the driveline.
