I finally got to drive it Sunday, but I need to take it to a better surface than my street.
Went to the LHS to order the carbon shock towers, sadly they are no longer available.
Also found out that the Super NRS4 bodies, and the micro bodies are also gone.

Hi all, I just picked up a couple of NRS4 2's this week on ebay. Been out of the hobby a while after my previous cars got stolen. I'll post pictures when I get them all cleaned up and running with fresh bodies installed....Igot one new BMW body, and they came with M3 and Lotus bodies which are probably all beat up... ;-)

It's been a while, but can someone recommend a rx battery pack I can use to replace the alkaline batteries/box that came stock on these cars. I'm adding a fail safe as well.. Thanks!

i run the standard one but have a 4 cell rechargable pack just for recievers.

Im considering adding an electric fan from a ps2 to cool my car down next body i get. as it sits after a tank drifting it doesnt go past 150 degrees. I plan on getting a body and not cutting half the windshield and windows out so it wont get much cooling when standing still waiting for others, which is why i want the fan on it.

I have two RS4 in my stable will submit pics later but would like a couple of stickers for my cars i will reserve a space for the stickers on the cars. Im looking for a set of foam wheels that are in the parts manual but can not find them anywhere on the HPI site they are off set foams, anybody running a set of foams? with a deep offset wheels.

icelatino72 thats a monster man. Have you checked out the other nitro forum thats just for guys that put big blocks in their on road cars?? its nuts.



So guys i picked up this Nitro RS4 on friday and i cant figure out what engine is in it. its a light blue almost a teal and its a .15 it looks like a ae engine but theres no markings in it saying that. I'll post a pic of it when tomorrow for you to take a look and maybe someone knows

DMOne

Looks like a question for MiamizFinest i or anyone else who cares to comment, I finally got a friend to purchase a RC he bought a 1 /10 scale off ebay RS4 couldnt get it to start i gave him a couple of suggestions but he knows all now i finally got the car after he purchase a NIB Evo4 i purchase a Evo3 and its nice but the question i have is can i keep up with the .30 mill he has against my .15 im going to do a ceramic bearing overhual new piston and all over the winter?? oh yea the other car was a RS4 racer that just needed a bump box. That turned out to be great becuase i got that car for pennies

wrcsti

Wont start eh? Are you 100% sure that the glow plug works, igniter is charged and the engine is primed? Those are the most common causes of engine not starting.

DMOne

Yea there wasnt a back plate or pull start so i bumped it.

DMOne

Im not too sure what happened to my last post in which i asked a question reguarding the new Evo4 .30 vs. .15 motor does the .30 mill produce much more torque than the .15? to compete with the newer version do i need to ditch the .15 and try to find a .18? or will the .15 mill be ok if i Mod the thing.

heres my rs4 im having trouble with the g3.0 engine it leaks alot of oil has ever since i got it runs good though apart from idle is hard to tune always seems too high or too low and stalls

alexchen86

I have always toyed with the idea of converting a nitro RS4 into a mild rally car. Has anyone on here had success with this? Looking for a 1/10 nitro rally car...seems like the only thing close is Kyosho DRX.

Car-Tune

Linkrx7 you'll need to seal your engine.

valve_timing

has anyone had any issues with the nitro rs4 front one way differential part no. 86122. i installed my today and its binding up im positive i have it installed correctly

Car-Tune

You have to make sure that your rear gears are the same gear. What exact rs4 do you have?

valve_timing

i hav e the rs4 drift version . so your saying that i have to install one way diffs in the front and rear ?

Car-Tune

No, you have to make sure they have the same amount of teeth. I had ordered the front one way for my rs4 and I noticed that its the cheap aluminum material and they have more or less teeth . i had upgraded my gears to the steel, so I shiped it back cus it was gonna do no good for me.

If you use the wrong gears from the front to the rear your front wheels will be spining faster than your rear or the other way around

Can you explain more what is wrong with your car. What do you mean BINDING UP?

linkrx7

i would get the solid axel set for the drift version as this is the car i have and fits perfectly but i have to ask why u want 1 way diff as this car drifts naturally there no need for it be locked

valve_timing

well i want more over all control of my car a locked and and front one way provide optimal control on and off throttle with the front oneway when i hit the brake it will simulate a ebrake a effect for angle correction or corner entry

Who still active in HPI Nation ?

wrcsti

I went ahead and did this. Its not always needed but it sure helps now with the head shim removed and leaned out a bit for more low end power.
