I posted this in a thread, but I noticed the chassis plates for the HPI RS4 and Exceed Hyper buggy look identical, as well as a few other parts including axle C's, hub carriers, and differential cases. Can anyone confirm or deny this? The buggy was given to me with a blown up engine so I used the front half of the chassis plate and steering/suspension for a 4wd trophy truck (4 linked axial rear end with wideners) and broke a C. I'm also running the stock single speed transmission from the buggy, Hobbywing 2250KV 3654 brushless and 2s 5000MAH 25C lipo and the spur has held up to it awesome! At first I ran a 5000MAH 3S and it was way too fast and broke the 2 front dogbones. If the diffs are compatible, I'm gonna get one and run HPI RS4 MT2 3.0 arms and cv axles to make it a little bit wider at the front for better roll stabilization.

We have most of the parts listed here.
http://www.nitrorcx.com/2128rcenpa.html
We recommend using 20% nitro fuel with that engine.

If you look at Himoto for possible optional parts, make sure you do not order parts for Himoto's MegaP RCs. The MegaP series are not HSP and therefore not compatible with Exceed or or Redcat RCs.
