a while back i was wishing they made 1/18th scale nitro's, so i started searching around and this is what i found http://www.hpiracing.com/kits/heritage/nm-m.htm
it has to be the coolest mini that i have ever seen, but the problem is this is the only site that i have found it on and my lhs says there is no such thing. i really want this car, so if anyone has ANY information on this car please post

nm-m.htm
 
HPI briefly sold the Nitro Mini RS4, but it was for a VERY short time. They are on eBay every now and then. They've sorta become a collector item. While I never seen one up close, i doubt certain parts are easily obtainable. But knowing HPI, there's probably quite a few interchangable parts with other chassis'
 
i have one. it just sits on the shelf but i have heard if i need any parts for it then most parts from the rs4 will interchange. i got it used but never took the time to install electrics in it so i just let it sit there and look pretty.
 
So that is what I saw at the LHS last week. A customer had it there, he was buying wheels and tires or something. Looked pretty cool.
 
Actually, the Mini Nitro RS4 was only a bit smaller than a standard 1/10 scale TC. I would say it was comparable to a 1/12 scale. Certainly not as small as 1/18. So far, the only 1/18 nitro that I've seen is a home converted Mini-T to I believe it's an .090 nitro airplane engine. I think they sell the conversions on Ebay.
 
Yeah, it does *looks* more like the size of a 1/12th...but you can still use the normal mini rs4 bodies.
 
yes i have one .it is a blast to run ....i been to a few hobby shops and found parts for it ...and i am planing to make a 2nd one ...my first one was from ebay and i got a savage and the mini nitro for $350 ...rtr
 
PM me if you ever want to get rid of it.
 
if anyone wants one i know where there is one for sale.

It was a 1/12th, it used some 1/10 parts.

I have some parts if anybody needs any. I have a ton of alum shock bodies that are for a range of shaft sizes for the mini and the older 1/10 stuff.
Other boxes of archived NOS(new old stock) parts. I know there is a bundle of chassis or top decks.
Two Bodies hanging on the wall. I think they are Hondas.
Give me a HPI part# and I will let you know if I have it.

Here is the parts list for the car:

Here is the cross reference list from HPI:
