HPI RS4 3 18SS Build

Here is one of my current projects. I have had alot of hop ups that have been sitting around so I thought I would incorporate them into the new build - Need to get the body painted - Ford GT - anyone??

More to come!

Lookinn Good Bruce. Will that be your toy or a package to sell?

 

[RushRC]

Dunno I will have to run it either way - I do kinda want to keep this one before I move up to a 1/8th scale car

That looks awesome Bruce. More pics!!

 

[Candyman]

Looks great!!!!

If you're looking for custom paint, there are a number of us here who may be interested. I won't speak for the rest of them, but I'd be happy to take a swing at it.

Looks good. It should be fast with that new engine.

 

[RushRC]

Ok a few more pics got it broke in yesterday - very fast! Raining today

The bad so far - The manifold hole is WAY too small so I opened it up for better flow. The pull start broke on the first pull - would not retract - had a PS for a .15 and it worked just fine. Also noticed the throttle linkage gets hosed up a makes for some oh sh*t moments.

Breakin was very easy. It was 60F here in TX I could hold the engine head during the whole process and it got warm but never got hot. :shrug:

I'm on the 4th tank and had to stop till I figure out the throttle - looks to be the same on for the previous RS4 models.

Finished Except body

Ok here are the final pics minus body. I fixed the throttle servo - it was binding due the screw being too tight. This thing flys

Nevermind. The pics finally came up Thanks again!

One question...the pullstarter. You said it broke on the first pull on a different thread. How was the 15 starter working for you?

I'll be receiving the car wednesday. Can't wait!
