Though u guys might enjoy this
I have an HPI Nitro RS4 200mm accord that i bought about 3 years ago.
And last month i bought the real car, 96 accord lx hahah.
Anyways, heres pics of my RC

 

cool little R/C, wheres pics of your real one now

 

That's a cool car...I'm just waiting for people to tell you to lose the wing.

 

the wing on those hpi bodies are molded to the trunk

 

i think you need a wider body on that thing, looks like you got a 190 mm body on it.

 

YOUR RIGHT!
HPI doesnt make a 200mm accord, only 190
The wing isnt molded on the HPI body, only the mounts are.
Wings are important on a RC car, without the wing, it drives like crap
Ill take pics of my real one soon.
I just put on 93 prelude si rims on it, still dynamating the trunk.
Just got my 96 accord like a weeks ago.

I also have a RS4. I have the RTR3 in the saleen body painted like mine. I also have a F150 body that came with it, but that body has crappy downforce.

 

i have the F150 body too, that body isnt too good, i rooled over the car several times with it on.

 

how quick are those thingsx?? what a decent setup run? thats so cool LOL

 

I was kidding about the wing thing. What do one of those setups (car, radio, engine, etc) run? I was thinking about getting one.

 

you can get a RTR (ready to run) kit for about 270 from http://www.towerhobbies.com

 

And for those who like the 6th Gen Accord they sell those also.

 

Theyre pretty fast, and theres alot of different setups you can get.
I have changed the upper body to carbon fiber, changed to a bigger engine, upgraded the springs, got an exhaust, sway bars, touring tires, all kinds of stuff, pretty fun esp when you have a buddy thats also into it.

Cool looking Nitro. I've been wanting to get one, but no-one around me has one and there aren't any tracks around here. Nice car though.

 

This was mine, but I sold it last year. The only electric I've ever seen that's as fast as a nitro. Teh Civic can Nevar Loose!





Sorry if you can't see the pics.

 

Thats hard to believe, an electric beating a nitro.
how did you paint it like that? looks like you just spray on a bunch of different paint at the same time? looks coo though.

 

Not hard at all really.

RS4 Mini Electric
9 Turn Double Motor
Cyclone ESC
1800 Cells
RS4 2 speed tranny
Full bearing kit
Caliber Fm Radio

The motor is so overkill for the chassis I actually ate tranny gears.

 

I had the newest nitro racer version of the HPI RS4, i had everything done to it that they possibly made for it and that thing was the fast that i would be able to beat cars on the normal road with that thing. This kid i knew had his clocked by a police radar(82 M.P.H.) Not to brag but mine was keeping up with his.

 

thats a lot of money to put in rc car, got any pics of the setup?

 

Typical Honda tranny...

 

Lol, i did run through 3 packs in a row before it went.

 

what engine and tranny gearing were you using, I have the 15ss which screams a little over 30,000 rpms and the ofna 2spd, I couldnt find a lot big enough to get up to the top speed with mine. Now I just use the stock spur gear and a 15t clutch bell. It still goes well over 30.

 

ive always wanted one of these...one of my friends have been into it since we were in middle school...what would be a good setup for a nitro car to start out with?

 

buy mine, almost fully modded, with extra parts and shells

 

For the motor i had the newest at the time O.S. motor. It was called the O.S. .12 CVR or something like that. supposovely it put out more horsepower than the other .15's so i tried it. i had a 2-speed tranny with the biggest clutch bell. i foregot exactly how many teeth it was but i think it was an 15-20. something like that, anyway i also had a lightweight flywheel and a blue bottle than supposovely made it run smoother. also i had the newest c-vec on it. For the air filter i had thrown away the old stock one and bought one from the hobby shop than was like 18 bucks. With that set-up right there you will be flyin like i was.
