Next basket case resto is an old Street Machine from HPI. I don't see them around very often. They have a cool design and the car can be configured for stick battery quick change or saddle pack. Once I get it off the ceiling, this is what I start...

More progress. Sorry some thumbnails are still rotated.☹️
This is one that I have been saving for last to get running. I seems pretty cool but old like the rest of my cars/trucks. At least early 90's I imagine. I have been trying to see just how the battery is held in and found a whole car like this on...

The current prices for HPI RS4 stuff isn't too bad so if you search you can still find parts and cars you can use for parts. just don't fall into the trap I have where I've upgraded and spent way too money on rare parts that far exceed the actual...
I bought the HPI mini RS4 sport way back in 2003 so it has been a very long term project. It was missing the entire steering system, body mounts and a shock so it languished in a box for years
Didn't see any immediate topics on HPI so I figured I'd list this. I got this HPI RS4MT several months ago and it's just been collecting dust. 2 of them came in a lot I bought. It was a killer deal, but I mainly just wanted the Mamba Max that came...

That is what I was afraid of. Thanks for confirming. As far as spur gear specifically, are there any sure immediate options? I gave my nephew an old truck I had and he immediately stripped the spur. I have another truck for display only, but not in...
I’ve been working on this chassis sporadically for the last 4 years. This car is very near and dear to me. It was my first ever touring car I bought back in 1996 and I had to really hustle and save my pennies to afford it. It's had a lot of use and...

My uncle bought this in 1997 to compete against mine and my Dad’s rs4’s. Unfortunately we sold our rs4’s and started running 1/8 buggies. Fast forward to Christmas 2017 and my uncle gave me his old rs4 that he’s kept for so long. There’s a ton of...

I remember the days of sugaring the track. :lol: :lol:
The tires nowadays are far better than they use to be. I will probably get some foams and some rubber tires. I might try racing it a couple times, but it won’t be anything serious. I will...
Forgot to post this when I did all my others. I bought this thinking it was newer and therefore better/faster than my current stuff when I first thought of getting back into RC with my son many years ago. This was before I started learning about...

Pretty much the whole first gen rs4 series is interchangeable. If there were ever a design worth bringing back,, id say original rs4 and all its derivatives.
Are there any of these floating around amongst the members here?
I am presently working on bringing two of them back to life. I never had an opportunity to race these cars back in the day, but I always thought they were awesome in both appearance...

Any of these bodies for the F103 will fit no problem.
This is a new never run car. The body I have set aside for is the HPI Nissan 350Z Nismo.
I bought one of these cars new back in '96. It was my first entry into on-road or 4wd for that matter. I ordered it from Tower at the beginning of my first...

I do as well like the older HPI onroads. Nice Pro you got there! I have a RS4 3 RTR and a Sprint 2 Flux. I wonder if any parts are interchangeable with the Sprints and the Pro's?
I just picked one up from craigslist in person yesterday.It has chrome mip cvds,lunsford titanium purple tunrbuckles,heatsink motorplate,oneway front diff i guess cause not like the one in my other mt its smaller in width.Full bearings and 16 tires...

As it stands it looks like a brand new truck with hopups listed.Enuff used parts to build another stock bearinged truck.DON
Original RS-4, picked up for about 35 bucks, in great condition, came with dual ball diffs, full ball bearings, alloy shocks, universals, etc., with some vintage and modern options added:
- HPI 15T one-way pulley
- Speed Max alloy front lower hinge...

didn't the original rs4 have a rear gearbox?
As I wrote in the opening post, this one has a special 2-belt conversion set for the original RS-4. This belt conversion set won't work with the later versions of the car because it uses user-modified...
This is my new built RS4 Rally. When I received it it had a poorly painted Ford Focus body, so I exchanged it with this Suzuki Escudo I had in my stash. Talk about a decal nightmare! A true test of one's patience! But I love the gaudyness of that...
Well another Ebay find that I want to share. I found an HPI RS4 MT for a good price. I thought it was just a roller without a body even.
Well I open the box, and see a body, beat up but still usable. I also see the Futaba Magnum Sport Radio, the...

The inner body shell was cool in looks and did seal up the chassis well.
Problem is it toasted your motor and esc. There was no air flow at all. I had to put cooling vents in but still roasted a lot of motors and my esc. Remember its a 4wd with all...
In 1995 HPI released their first 1/10th 235mm pan car what was called Roadstar RS10G. The same year I bought my RS10G and raced this car until about 1998. Currently this is my oldest car as I sold all of my older cars before. It´s the car on the...
Wow what a new learning curve? This truck is compaired to my Losi's!! I took it out to play today, I have had it for months now and never even put a hot battery in it. It was RTR when I got it from Red Scampi. I have always wanted one. I was trying...

I got this when I took my evader for a run, a guy told me to come here that he has somthing for me. So I went to his place and he gave me this and a RC10T Complete for $15. Now i knew that was a great deal sincew I had a gold pan before and it sold...
I have one. Will post pics.
Wanted to start a post for them.
I need a inner body set (upper).
I am sure there is a good demand for the hpi rs4 rally inner bodyset. They have been discontinued for years. Problem is that you cant run the rally in...

Picked up a used inner on E-bay. Paid too much :( Has a big hole in it :( :( But it works for now.
