Haggard have you tried the new way to prime the engine? Pinch the tubing that leads from the pipe to the fuel tank and pop the lid two-4 times it really works.
I just bought a few RS4 MTs (the "original" ones).. each incomplete, but with different hop-ups (CF upper brace, titanium links, towers, 2 speed, MIP cvds, alloy hubs, etc..), stripped them all down, and made one "killer" one out of them... Anyway, just wanted to say: I AGREE!! These are very well laid out, and easy to work on! The battery/servo tray that comes out makes it SUPER easy to clean up too! Literally 2 "body clips" and linkage ball ends, and all the entire electrical system is out of the truck (or car). VERY nice!
Great video mate. I just bought a Traxxas slash 4WD running a 6s lipo I highly recommend you get a brushless rc on the channel can’t beat a nitro but these brushless are just out of hands when it comes to performance.
Just picked up a couple RS4 MTs and built one "killer" one out of them... Just looking for something (hopefully cheap!) to replace the HPI .15 FE I have now... The thing has ONE needle (HSN only) on the carb. Literally no mixture adjustment for idle!! I can live without the "transition" adjustment), but no idle mixture, makes it terrible to run... I dunno what they were thinking on that one! If I want to get on it, and let it "sing" into 2nd gear, I have to have it set so it's ULTRA rich @ idle and part throttle and the closed throttle gap has to be huge to compensate. Anyone have any experience with those Vertex 18s? Seems there are a ton of them out there, and the price is awesome! Hate to waste the money though, if they don't work well.
What's your thoughts on a throttle return spring I have a built in failsafe but I had a runaway an it didnt save it so would a throttle return be a better option?
All add, the "40" represents it was the 40th attempt at making it. Developed by General Dynamics right here in sunny, San Diego California. My Dad worked there.
Nice rig! Hpi, traxxas, and team associated need to bring back the nitro rtr touring cars.... PLEASE!!!
I built from scratch and rs 4 3 Evo with a Pagani body beautiful RC unit

Pb blaster is what comes from the Fountain of Youth. It tunrs metal back into metal 😃
HPI was the best design of all the units you can just unclip the battery box and it all came right out easy has you say everything is well thought

I go for a high tickover as it is less likely to stall when coning off the throttle while blasting about.
Awesome find ,it sounds great after sitting for years!..😎👍
Sweet bud nice one been doing savage cleaning up rebuild
