Default HPI Nitro Mini

Hi,

After a spell out of it, I have decided that I would like to get back into the RC Car hobby.

I have decided that I would like to keep my Nitro Mini as I think that it is a great fun little car to drive, but would like to brighten it up a bit.

I would like to improve the performance and handling of the car while making it look good at the same time.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can change to achieve this, and even if it is still possible to buy parts.

Thanks for the help!

Mark

that pretty cool that u got a mini those arnt made anymore. I would go to my LHS and see if micro parts will work on it and that is probbly the best thing you could try to do.

I had wanted a HPI Mini, but the parts are a pain to find, so Here is my reasearch for them. I looked on HPI's website, they have a couple Mini parts, I'd check ebay, there are some parts there, and I know GPM makes some hop up aluminum parts for it too. good luck!... I wish I had one!!!

Whoa, that's cool! I've never heard of or seen the HPI RS4 Mini, only the Micro RS4 (guess it's before my time, I was born in '87). That little tiny thing is nitro, too, that's bad [8D]. Definitely hold on to that thing. Do you have any pics of yours?

Ok guys...I am new here and I am a total newb to the Nitro Car world. I just got my Nitro Car today and since I got it for free and the person I got it from got it as a gift no one knows what it is and the car is brand spanking new. So I took some pics and I was hoping someone could tell me what I have, if it is good and what it is worth.

Here are the pics:
Thanks!

Update: I found out that this is an Mini RS4...tell me what you think of it and if you see any mods already done. I got it totally free and it is brand new!

Oh and if you want to buy it...post up a price and I will think about it.
