Status: offline 		Hi, it's pretty new body. I purchased direct from the manufacturer PTI racing: http://www.ptiracing.net/page10.html
Its thick quality concourse level body. I added the real front grills on my own. I am still working on a mini Horse for the grill.

The custom license plates were had at: http://www.rogueelementcomponents.com

BUY and Support these great people!


The car itself is ALL metal $$$$$$ and a RARE.

You see some people hog up all the info.. selfish..When in fact if you want to be selfish, you should help others so it can advance the hobby.

Anyways..enouph of my little speach... I would love get get more opinions on my car. I hve worked so hard and put countless hrs into it so far.

Status: offline 		Your exhaust setup is crazy looking, I can see it took some thought. First person to rear end you is going to take it out!!! bet it looks scale though with the body on!! I am thinking about making a custom setup to get the exhaust to go out the rear of my super nitro rally. Here is what I did with the nrs4 2:

Here I just wanted it to be simple:

After Paint:


I here what you are saying about helping others, sometimes even the dudes that work at the hobby shops don't feel like helping customers!! When I went down to RCX about a month ago My friend and I stopped by a hobby shop called Pegasus Hobby. OMG I almost lost it and went off on the young punk but I thought better of it. What I stayed for was all the parts, they had more HPI parts then I have even seen in a hobby shop.

Status: offline 		One thing you have to realize Mike...That car will never be in a real race. Only a staged Concourse race with respectable other drivers.

I have just installed the on board starter. Next i have to rig it so I can start her from the radio ...Remote start.
Almost there!!! Before that..and what i am doing now is installing an RPM sensor in the backplate area. Then a few more sensors to
install... fin stuff. RS4 2 #1 !!!
