Hpi Rs4 3 Rtr???

[RC10GT4fun]

Does anybody know anything about this car. The HPI RS4 3 RTR?I'm at school and was looking around at them and i saw it, and it looks like an alright car. I was thinking about ordering one as soon as i get home. So does anyone know anything about it? I know its an impulse buy, but i have to order clutch bearings anyways for my rc10gt because i dropped them down the drain last night on accident.

if you are a newbie, and looking at a basic entry level onroad car, its not bad. middle of the pack. However, if you have any experience at all with RC, pass on it, it will feel like a toy.

If you really want an RTR on road, stay with Team Associated, and go with the NTC3.

Thanks, I think i will go with the NTC3, i'll see about ordering it when i get home. I was going to originally go with a savage or a t-maxx, but i want to get into racing them, and there is an on-road track not too far from me, and i haven't been able to find an off-road track for my rc10gt.

u will love on road racing. even the stock engine in the NTC3 is quite powerful. almost as strong as an OS CV-R. Bout the only thing needed for the car to be a podium finisher would be the two speed tranny, but its not manditory on most tracks.

Good choice. Are you planning on racing it? Consider going with foams for groomed tracks. I have the NTC3. I got the kit version and it is awesome. I have the RTR version for under 100 bucks used and it rocks. I also went with a non pull start engine and starter box. Nitroaddict pretty much convinced me to get the NTC3. He will remember the troubles I had with the HPI RTR 3. It was a good car but the NTC3 was so well designed for all levels of enthusiasts. The hop ups for the RTR NTC3 should be the 2 speed!! Then the threaded shocks for helping you get the best traction possible, Then Tires choose wisely. The stock rtr engine is Impressively fast .Just take out the restrictor on the carb and the retune.! Let us know how it goes when you get it!!
