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 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.

how much do one of those cost?



and how about he fast electric ones?

Leetheslacker

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

Baldy

you mean like the cheasy ones from Radio Shack? I never realized that they went 30 mph
