Default HPI RS4 2 RTR?

I just got a HPI RS4 2 RTR. I wanted to know more about it. I got it used and I dont know that much about onroad cars. I wanted to know,
1. What size is the car 190mm or 200mm?
2. What is the bigest motor that will go in it?
3. Is there a site with tons of upgrades for this car?
4. How conpetive is a car like this at the track?
5. what size wheels do I need to buy?

Thanks for any and all help.

What josh said is right. Also [link=http://www.brucknerhobbies.com/hpi_parts.htm]wolfpack radicals[/link] makes a .21 conversion, so you can fit a .21 in the car if you wanted to. You can find parts for it almost anywhere, it has awesome parts support. With the right upgrades it can be a decent racer, but its not the best car out there for racing. But where it is strong is durability, i've broken about 4 parts in the 4 years i've had the car . Oh and ebay is a great place to get parts for it .

mine has alot of alu. and carbon fiber and it doesent weigh that much. As long as you have a deicent engine you will be ok. Right now I have the HPI 12rss and it is pretty fast.
