I am begining the hobby, so I tought that it would be good to start with a basically inexpensive car at first and I wanted Nitro so there we are, I bought a Used model on ebay and will get it in a couple of days. The only thing is that I was wondering wich one of the Nitro RS4 version I had, so, I will post a picture of it here, hope you can help me with that!

And if you have any recommendation that could help me at first, it would also appreciated!

thanks a lot!

Thanx to you!

The tips brake off very easily if you brush up against a wall or street curb. If you upgrade to the aluminum pipe go ahed and get a better flowing header as well. The one in the pic is a bit restricting.

Thanx!

Download the manual from the HPI web pages and set the carb per the instructions. You might also try a new glow plug.
