I just picked up an HPI Nitro RS4 (basically a gas-powered R/C car) at the local hobby shop. I did the break-in procedure on the motor, and DAMN does that thing scream! It hits about 30 mph right out of the box, and with a 2-speed and some tuning, about 65 is possible. It's a cool little car, and its 4WD, with shaft drive instead of belts. It came with a Viper GTS-R body (ew) that I made into a "beat-the-****-out-of-me" body, so I didnt take too much care with the decals and whatnot, just enough to make it look so-so. Then I bought a Lancer EVO VI body for it and did a slightly better job on that one https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png I was trying to find an FC or FD, but the only size they make the FD body in is Micro, which is a LOT smaller than the normal cars. Anyway sorry for the long rant, but here's a pic or two>

They make a few different FD body's, but most of them are rare except for a vielside one.



And i belive someone was selling FC ones at teamfc3s.org or rx7club or one of those other forums.

and how about he fast electric ones?

Leetheslacker 08-21-2003 09:46 AM

Depends on which one but usually a few hundred plus other stuff, electric ones go 20-40 depending on the motor.
