HPI RS4 MT Help???
I am looking to enter the hobby of electric RC. I just purchased an electric HPI RS4 MT, I haven't received it yet, but should in a few days. The purpose of the truck will be to run around the yard, minimal jumping, mainly off-road with some on-road. I am looking to see what I need to make this truck a good running truck. What batteries are recommended and why? What engine is recommended and why? Also, I am having a hard time finding any links about this truck, is it not popular or rare? Am I going to have a hard time finding parts? I have seen a HPI nitro MT2, will those parts fit my truck?
Also, What does the RS4 stand for?
Also, are there any books/magazines I could get to help me enter the hobby of RC trucking. I am seeking to have general knowledge of the hobby, so I can teach my son about it when he is old enough.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
