New car no idea 🤷‍♂️

[lea007007]

So I’m not new to nitro but the last RS4 I had was a rtr pike peak way back around 2005 maybe. I own a few savages and a heli now. But just got hold of a RS4 2 or that’s what the add said and would like any help in identifying what I have brought

Phones at 1%. Nitro rs4 first or second version. Looks like a big block to boot. Alot of rare option parts too.

Seriously, thats a looker! THESE are the cars that make me think of candy when I see them!
WOW!

Welcome to RCTalk. Stick around. You'll find it's a great group of RC nutjobs that can't shutup about this stuff. And sweet looking RS4!

it appears to be a heavily modified HPI nitro rs4 2, between the rs4-1 and the rs4-2 the main reason i say that is the chassis being purple, the rs4-1 typically was not anodized purple, that said, the were interchangable.
everything else that would indicate whether it was an rs4-1 or rs4-2 have been replaced. and everything that would indicate it being a "racer" variant of either are also replaced.
it also appears to have a HPI .25, with a big block conversion. i am unfamiliar with that version though, could be New Era possibly? or GH?
very nice find.

You nitro guys make me jealous. Wish I could run the ones we got.

Couldn’t resist it to shiny to pass by apparently the seller had it from 10 years old and just kept modding it its never been run all that time. I watched it for a few months fighting the urge but couldn’t let anyone else get it

I imagine you're struggling with this too... it BELONGS on a shelf! Its a collector item and not being run is NUTS!
BUT I want to see a video of this running SO BADLY!!!
It REALLY belongs on a track!!!
SCORE!!!

The next problem it’s basically going to be a shelf queen taken to out a few times a year I’m looking for the loudest. Most aggressively fast looking. Totally unpractical. Sexy body any ideas

that is awesome! paperwork and parts tags and everything!
scratch what i said about the anodized chassis then as its definitely not factory chassis lol
would for sure be a car i would run on occasion, but too much aluminum as a daily runner i would be terrified every second driving it that when i crashed would it damage something that you can no longer get. though surprisingly you can still get a considerable amount of GPM parts for them.

If this is 200mm wb, there are 8 trillion to choose from.
What are you thinking? Nascar or touring or maybe a cool truck body???

I lost my old account here due to some midnight Elvis impersonations.
Wrapped in tinfoil, by the light of the full moon, I thought it was art.
No one else appreciated my full moon tho.

Like the lambo but a bit plain and only looks good in green but I have a savage quad in green so puts me off. I want something outrageous with spoilers and curves
