Need Help Identifying These Cars
I got these two cars out of the trash (on the top of the pile) and I know very little about them. I know they run on nitro gas (google gas rc cars, and everything said nitro gas), and require a ignitor for the glow plug in the motors. The eletrical system seem to work (cant start motor, no ignitor) cause all I had to do was put batteries in the bottom half of the battery box. I have three controller with matching crystals to each car, one controller needs to have wires resoldered.
First Car - Missing plastic body and ignitor.
Second Car - Missing plastic body, air filter, battery box and ignitor.
If anyone can tell me what company and model these cars are, or if anyone has a owners manual for those cars and is willing to send a me scanned copy, that'd be great, cause I don't know what ignitor to buy or battery box for the one car.
If anyone needs more pictures, don't hesitate to ask, I can get them as soon as possible. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

First one is HPI. Second one looks like a Red Cat. The HPI looks like a Rs4, but I can't tell much, I'm not really into on-road...yet. And I doubt Red Cat has a lot of on-road cars, so I'm sure you can find them around. They all look brand new, where did you get them from?
Here's an ignitor for them.

@BlindObject, will that ignitor work for both cars, and I found them in some dudes trash, I guess he didn't konw much either, cause I just took 10 mins looking at it and realized the battery box was not attached to anything, so I removed it to find a spot for two more batteries!

@CBM Racing, they were going into the trash by a friend (he wastes money like crazy) because he thought they were broke, so he told my other friend to throw them in the dumpster, so he took them instead of trashing them. He figured I may be able to fix them. As it turns out, one needed two more batteries, and the other needs a battery box. I just said in the trash because I didn't feel like typing the story.
@madmax93, maybe after I figure out what it is, and whats it worth. Also a test drive or two.

@l0lzpl0x, it was about to be trash, and the thing looks brand new and seems to work, (electric system works) but I don't know cause I don't have an ignitor and looking at ones on the internet that sell for 235, 50 is way cheap.

RE: Need Help Identifying These Cars
I have to get to a local hobby shop and pick up an ignitor and some fuel, but the HPI car uses 20% - 25% Nitro fuel, does that go for the other car as well?
