Did anyone say "Go BIG"? The Super Nitro RS4 is HPI's largest sedan-style car kit. Each one is 20% larger than other 1/10 scale sedan kits, making them easier to drive and much larger on the track! These huge radio control Nitro cars measure over 20 inches (50cm) long, 10 inches (22cm) wide and over five inches (13cm) tall!
The Super Nitro RS4 kits also include a complete set of 22 ball bearings and a countersunk purple anodized aluminum chassis. An efficient belt drivetrain provides smooth power to all four wheels. Each of the three drive belts has its own tensioner for easy adjustment.
The new and improved Nitro Star 15FE engine is a great way to get introduced to the world of Nitro R/C - it's easy to tune with just a single adjustment, powerful and fast! The Nitro Star 15FE has been upgraded since its introduction to make it the easiest to tune and most powerful stock engine around! With the inclusion of a purple anodized heat sink head it's also now the best-looking engine, too! The heat sink head provides better cooling for more fuel efficiency and overal power.
The larger stance of the Super Nitro RS4 gives it extra stability over standard 1/10 scale Touring Cars. The Super Nitro RS4 is also a full-time 4WD car, which means easy driving and control on any paved surface! Double wishbone suspension makes tuning a breeze and provides a durable suspension. Turnbuckles make it easy and simple for racers to tune the suspension to their race track. A turnbuckle wrench is included with the kit so adjustments are quick and easy.
The huge front bumper deflects impacts and bumps The entire suspension is fully adjustable for race tuning
Our Super-size Racing Slick tires ride on large Super-size wheels which offer great performance and awesome scale looks! The Super Nitro RS4 kits accept standard-size radio gear, so no special equipment is needed to run them. An easily removable radio tray makes cleaning the car very easy. Just take off the radio tray and spray the car down with our Nitro Car Cleaner (#9062) for quick and easy cleaning!
22 ball bearings and gear brace are standard equipment A purple anodized countersunk aluminum chassis is standard
The wheelbase is adjustable so other available "Super Size" bodies (from other companies) fit the Super Nitro RS4. The wheelbase can be changed from 280mm to 300mm very easily.
The big look of the Super Nitro RS4 kits is going to get all the attention at any parking lot track!
