It's HPI, but what vehicle model?

[Chevy-SS]

Can anybody tell me what model this is?

A buddy of mine wanted some help getting his on-road HPI vehicle started. We never did get it started but the engine only has 10psi (I have a compression guage), so I figure it's time for a new piston and sleeve. Here's a pic of the vehicle:

Don't laugh please, but I have no idea what model this is. I have all off-road trucks and buggies, so I don't pay much attention to the on-road stuff. The engine is a .15. Can anybody tell me what model this is and what piston/sleeve I would need? Also, does anyone know what the typical cranking compression might be for a .15 HPI engine?

Gracias

i have the of road version of it which is the nMT and they come with a 15fe engine but that dont look like the standerd engine but if it is then they dont have alot of compression if u need to know owt else just ask

i just found this and i think its the engine unless some one has put the head of it on a 15 engine http://www.hpiracing.com/graphics/instr/1301_12rxs/i-1300-2_pg2.jpg

Definitely the RS4 rtr 3 but it may be the EVO as it has the T-15 engine in it.

Thanks for info gents. Here's a better pic of just the engine. Is this the .15fe or the T-15?

Thanks again

LOL, thanks




Will this piston/sleeve work? It says .15fe, but it's the only .15 piston/sleeve set I found on eBay. Tower Hobby has the same one (.15fe).

Thanks for the tip, and for the part number. It really does not have much resistance when you crank the engine over, even with a glow plug installed. However, based on what you say I will look harder and see if it may be something like an air leak.
