I have probably one of the sickest HPI nitro rs4s out there. Titanium upper and lower chassis, 2 horse power big block .15 Nova rossi engine and a ton of aluminum. 12 channel Multiplex radio and hitec radio gear. Hits about 75-80 mph. Does 0-60 in probably less then 2 seconds. Too much to list. Looking to get around $700 with radio. $500 with out. Over $1500 invested. I just have no time to play so I'll take a loss on it. Let me know if this interests you.

Impossible? i'm running 13/43 gearing in first gear and 18/39 in second gear. This means this car is faster in first gear then most peoples nitro rs4 in second gear. I'll post a pic when my web server comes back alive.

HPI is good stuff I've owned 4 HPI nitro cars and just sold a RS4 3 EVO RTR to my girlfriend's lil brother. I'm gonna give the electric cars a shot now, and make myself a HPI drift car. I don't really like the Yokomo drift car kit so I'm gonna make my own drift car. If you need some pointers on r/c cars just PM me, I'll be glad to help.
