It's a good basher. Comes with an Airtronic radio. Very good handling car. Be warned the body with be damaged very easily if the ground you run it on isn't smooth.

That is a stock RS4 3. Spend an extra $100 and get it new, or go on ebay and there are plenty that are great deals and have faster motors in them. (instead on an additional vehicle, why not get the motor for the Rustler? )

I can't tell for sure. I'm squinting at his picture, but the heatsinks for the T3.0 and T-15 are very similar. It's either an Evo or an Evo+, the difference is in the motor and tuned pipe. Ask him for a picture of the other side of the car, or just a higher-quality photo. I had the Evo, which has the weaker of the two motors, and it was still quite fast. I'd ballpark 40-45 MPH.

In either case, I think $150 is a fair trade value/price for it. $200 is borderline for me, but I'd probably do that trade if I were you.

Any 200mm-width body will fit, including that Camaro. You can buy it from the second link you posted, or at Tower Hobbies: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXADW3&P=7

Yep, for the RS4 3 the sky's the limit. GPM and Integy make aluminum replacements for just about every stock part. You can fit any small-block motor with a standard threaded shaft, there are a zillion wheel and tire options, carbon fiber shock towers and upper decks, all kinds of stuff.

The chassis are identical, except for the drift version. The main differences between the various versions of the RS4 3 are the motors. Everything since the original RS4 3 has been a 2-speed as well. Anything that fits the RS4 3 you can assume fits the 12SS, Evo, 18SS, Evo+, etc.

*sorry, so to answer your question search "RS4 3."

I would do the trade. I have two Evo's and an Evo+ and they are great cars. I think that your car is an Evo+ but I can't tell for sure.
