1st is an original nitro RS4 which as someone who owned one isn't worth fixing as its a piece of junk(seriously it was a VERY bad design). The motor liked to strip spur gears as the torque from the motor would warp the thin chassis plate, and change the gear meshing leading to stripping. I wish I took the advice of the guy at my LHS when I got mine, and dumped it instead of fixing it as like I said it turned out to be a turd. That one you have is missing quite a few parts, and would probably cost more to get the parts then buying another. The motor was also trash in that model (I had 3 of them in other old HPI's)
2nd I dunno my guess is a 1/10th scale buggy need closer up pics, and preferably bigger Edit Holy crap am I good figured out the buggy within a min lol can't believe typing in purple 1/0th buggy chassis in google got me a pic on the 2nd page lol [TABLE] [TR] [TD]It is a HSP/Hispeed Warhead Seben,[/TD] [TD]REDCAT Tornado,[/TD] [TD]WINDHOBBY Sidewinder/Catamoun,[/TD] [TD]AMAX Howitzer,[/TD] [TD]EXCEED Xtreme,[/TD] [TD]HIMOTO HI8103 Python[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Pick whatever you wanna call it as they are all the same thing sold by different companies Here is a page that has the manual for the Touring car version which outside arms, shocktowers, and bumper looks the same http://myrc.com.au/forum/index.php?topic=59.0 |
Thank you so much for your help, I'll take your advice and flush the turd and ill see what the parts for the buggy will set me back always thought a buggy would br smaller for some reason, this thing is huge ant it can fix monster truck tires with no problem. Again thank you.

come'on syco, you are slipping! I took one look at the purple 4wd chassis and new it was a tornado :)
the wing mount, front bumper and shape of the suspension arms are all dead give'aways. as syco mentioned, finding and buying parts for the hpi would cost a fair bit. you could part it out on ebay tho. some older RC's can get hard to find parts for, and thus used parts that people need they will pay a few bucks for. it will take time to sell it all off of course, but youd get more for it in the long run. |

Yea I swear I don't know how I didn't know that as I own so many redcats(1 that I used for 2 mins). The way you could tell so fast its almost like you were a redcat dealer at one time, and owned a pile of them...
but yeh, having owned 70% of the models they sell does help me spot a chassis quickly :) it is a good thing the OP didn't pay much...that redcat isn't worth more than $30. |
