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.
