Status: offline 		First thing you'll notice, is that it sticks to the ground. It wont be that strong with the .15 nitro star, but you can always install a .18CV-RX. And if you put a racing manifold and pipe, it'll be just like the SS version.

GREAT touring car!!!

3 weeks ago, there was a race at the local track. 5 serpents and 1 RS4 3 18SS. Everything stock, except the pipe. After 20 minutes racing, the RS4 came second. 4 serpents were either after it, or out with problems. The driver only had 2 months of driving experience, and it was his first race.

Point is, this car is so well designed, and so simple, that is perfect for a new/mid racer. I wouldn't trade it for ANY touring car.

EDIT

Also the electronics can be removed as easily as removing the 3 pins holding them. (receiver, batteries, servos, wires, EVERYTHING!) Which makes it a 5 minute job cleaning the car you've been driving for a whole day.

Status: offline 		I just got back into the hobby and I am just loving my RS4. I also started racing as well and Im pretty much the only HPI out there. I still need a bit of fine tuning getting it around the track but it can definately keep up with all the other cars out there. Tons of fun!
