HSP is a Japanese manufacturer of RC cars. While it may not seem worthy of an article to write about a company this is different. HSP is a unique company and its products are worthy of a few words. HSP is relatively unknown in the wider RC cars market. This is in spite of the fact that they can be found at most anywhere where RC cars are sold and is underscored by the fact that if you put “HSP RC cars” in to a Google search window, you will get over 200,000 results, and while using quotes in this case, purified the results.

One of the reasons for this is that the brand is not yet established as a known producer amongst the hard-core hobbyists for reasons of cost. HSP RC cars generally cost than other models. This is not because of any major quality difference but rather because the company knows the value of the lower end of the market. There are differences, of course. Dedicated professional hobbyists are discriminating when it comes to the quality and durability of their RC cars. They run them hard, often in races, and the models that they buy cost more as a result of being designed to take more punishment.

Size Matters

HSP is known for several specific models that HSP has had great success with is the Tyrannosaurus. This is a model monster truck that is known for performance and quality in balance. It can reach speeds of 55 mph and has a four-wheel drive system that allows good terrain performance; it has disc brakes and a double sponge filter to keep the motor clean. HSP RC cars are not the flashiest on the market, but they are solid performers and can result in keeping more cash in the pocket.

This is important as the RC cars market in increasingly dominated by casual hobbyists, kids just looking for fun. They also make a line of RC nitro cars that are gaining in popularity for their speed. These are not for the child looking for a little casual fun in the driveway but HSP is moving toward the higher end of the market and this is a part of that move. HSP will be a major player in the RC car hobbyist market as time goes on. If you are looking for something that is fun and saves money, look them up.
