The RS4 MT was the first RC I ever built. I bought it new and despite it's relatively simplicity, it took me days (a week plus...) to finish it. The whole 4WD stadium/monster truck is an excellent premise, especially eleven years ago when it debuted, but it had issues that needed addressing...

I scored a NIB RS4 MT on Ebay for $97 back in August. I intend to build a new RS4 MT using the experience and knowledge I've gained after ten years in (and out) of the hobby and address each and every shortcoming. To that end, I spent the following months on an LHS world tour digging through parts bins and scouring the internet parts and for hop-ups. Not "bling", but stuff that the truck actually needs.

The kit:
