Now available from HPI Racing is the powerful new Nitro RS4 3 18SS nitro
touring car. For a big boost in power we added our powerful 18SS engine.
Rated at 1.5 horsepower, the 18SS is a high torque engine with features
that include aggressive porting, durable ABC construction, a large heat
sink head, dual needle 6mm carburetor and a lightweight aluminum
connecting rod. The large .18 cubic inch size propels the Nitro RS4 3 18SS
to a top speed in excess of 50 mph! And, the 18SS engine is designed to be
easy to start, easy to tune, and rock-steady reliable. It's equipped with
an easy to use recoil pullstarter and, for racing applications, can be
bump started. A high flow tube header and dual chamber tuned pipe are
mated to revised gearing making the Nitro RS4 3 18SS one of the most
powerful 1/10 scale production cars ever!
The Nitro RS4 3 18 SS has many of
the features found on our popular RTR Nitro RS4 3, making it a great kit
for parking lot drivers. The tough shaft drive system keeps the drivetrain
running smoothly even in parking lots that aren't completely free of
rocks. The enclosed receiver/battery box and removable radio tray keep the
electronics protected from the elements and make clean-up a snap. Hardened
metal
differential gears are now included to help tame the power of the 18SS
engine.
A stiff purple anodized aluminum
2.5mm chassis prevents flex for consistent handling and extra
durability. An adjustable 2 speed transmission is included, compatible
with a wide variety of optional gears to help tune the gearing to track
conditions. And, we've added adjustable turnbuckles for easy tuning of the
suspension settings. Everything combined gives the Nitro RS4 3 18SS a
healthy dose of bottom end punch and screaming top end performance, and
the durability to handle parking lot conditions with ease.
 This
is an unassembled kit designed for hobbyists who enjoy the process of
building their own cars. Two different clear bodies are available, the
awesome Ford GT or the exotic Lamborghini Gallardo. Realistic vinyl decals
are supplied, pre-cut for easy application, along with convenient window
masks and protective film. And, the kit comes with no electronics so that
racers can customize the car with their favorite radio system. Speed,
durability, and loaded with features, check out the new Nitro RS4 3 18SS!
