its not a model its a real rc car! that is my drifter rc car. its an hpi micro rs4 1/18 scale electric car. i hopped it up to go wicked fast wit alot of torque. u thinkin of gettin one? they r pretty addictive if u really like cars. and sides u can get the trueno body and the FD rx7 body. and u can make it like the ones in id! they r [retty fun watch the video of my friend and me at a drift competition and he was the one wit the red trueno. it was like a drift battle cept that was my first ever drift comp so i was trying to drift for the first time on carpet. and glad u liked it. also u can go to www.hpiracing.com and click on kits then micro rs4 and tehre u have it the micro. they have other stuff u can put on it too! | ||

I shoot mine off ramps heh. well...I did neways. until my battery died and me just didn't care bout it nemore. I had an Electric Kyosho Mantis. it's 2wd. and I stiffened up the chassis by putting a 3-4mm sheet of aluminum along the bottom so when I bottom out from the jumbs my chassis is undamaged. I'll to take pix of it later. I run a Kyosho Viper GTS-R and a HPI Skyline body. |
