Either a touring car or something like a baja truck. Not really looking to race it just want to go out and have fun and have something to tinker with.

I have a touring car at home that i bought about 5 years ago and its been sitting since in pieces. I'm just trying to figure out if its cheaper to buy a new one or fix that one.

rs4 is a good on road to start with, and very upgradeable.....but you may have to use ebay, last i checked hpi is discontinuing the carbon hop ups.....not sure why.....
i really like hpi and would love to see a race spec nitro on road from them....besides just the club level rs4s.....but they are VERY tough and dependable cars

engine size is usually on the side.....the earliest rs4s were belt drive...the newer ones are shaft, and have been pretty much the same since they lost the belts i think, until the newest one...but the only difference now is a larger engine I'm pretty sure......your engine is probably a .15 "nitro star"
