🚗 The HPI Stage-D10 Creator Edition is a drift RWD 1/10 chassis, designed for drivers who want to build their own car around a modern, complete, and highly adjustable base. Unlike a RTR, this version allows you to choose your own electronics, body, wheels, and tires, while retaining exactly the same mechanical base as the ready-to-run version. With its adjustable wheelbase ranging from 246 to 264 mm, its adjustable geometry, and its numerous suspension settings, it serves as an excellent platform for getting seriously started in drift rear-wheel drive or for taking tuning to the extreme.
