I'm in tears watching this. Man I miss my rs4 and both supers. The chassis on the super is so freaking pretty that I used to run it without the body all the time. Btw I had the same tune pipe in brushed finish on most of my nitro touring cars. Those were affordable and sounded awesome. Thanks for sharing this and I hope HPI listens to you about making 1/10 touring cars great again. You are the nitro king!
Thanks for making another great video. I watched it twice. If I bump into HPI on socials I will pressure them to bring these models back. I really enjoyed the slow motion (can’t do that in a live) and also the Gene Hackman joke that made two appearances. He is 91 years old, god bless him
hell yes bro! ME too! I used to own the original model years ago also, that shift on the fly 2-speed was the BOMB!! I still own one of them to this day, but with a brushless system, there is a video of it on this channel, you gotta check it out.
hey bro! Thanks so much! The Live streams are fun and ZERO EDITING, so you never know what will happen, or who will show up! lol. I will try to do some more daytime streams for you.
HELL YEAH BROTHER !! Thanks to your older videos about the super nitro I realize the valve of what I have been having stored away for so long I just completely went though my super nitro RS4 with a Novarossi .21 and made sure it was perfect, today is it’s first test drive in long long time and my fist time really driving the car IT BLEW ME AWAY TO SAY THE LEAST !! SO MUCH POWER ! I haven’t even went wide open throttle yet, there is soo much power!! Do you run differential fluid in your super nitro’s differentials? I realize in the original owners manual it only says to grease the gears themself … what do you do ?
whats up bro!! Glad you saw this video, I'm very proud of this Old Super Nitro. This proves that .5HP and. vintage nitro is all you need!! lol. Time to go run the "Sickening Clack" kyosho Baja Beetle today. Lets see what happens with that.
hey my dude! The NitroGang would love to have you be a member!! BTW I just ordered the USA-1 last night during a liv video. Right now they are out of stock again, but it looks like every couple days they get more. Check HRP, they also have the best prices right now with NO TAX and coupons.
I totally agree!! The Super Nitro Scale body is terrific, I would say even nicer than the basic 1/10 scales. Also the larger wheels make it looks far more aggressive than the typical 1/10 nitro chassis.
The rs4 3 was my first hobby grade rc and I ran the shot out of it my boy got the rs4 18ss so I had to get the 18ss so stupid I couldn have gotten a os 18 but still had fun
whats up my dude! Major Congrats from the Nitrogang! That is a truck which has been on my list for a very long time, I'm proud of you bro!! That is the third biggest Motor ever in any Nitro RTR other than the EK4 and the MGT 8.0
A guy gave me a rs4 super nitro, a jato 3.3 and 3 planes. They had been sitting for years. I’m new to nitro but good with motors. They both run great but my rs4 looks like hybrid of those 2 in your video. I have the handle like the super, the chassis of the other and it’s 2 speed. It has the hpi motor on it but I have 15fe in a pit box that he also gave me. Possible he changed it? Has a dynamite muffle down the side now but I have the rear muffler on that 15fe too. I’m guessing he upgraded? Just wondering your thoughts brother. Great vids btw. I’m now hooked on nitro rc. I like having a real motor that you can tune, the smoke and the head turning sound
whats up dude! How you doing! Yes, I agree, those original rear exhaust CAN MUFFLERs are pretty quiet and don't have that high pitch exhaust tone that tuned pipes have. To be honest with you the most restrictive element on this car was the air filter. That is the filter from the Nitro Bullet, it's got a tiny little hole for the intake.
Hey man, I recently stumbled upon an old HPIRS for Evo, but I’m in need of parts. Is it just a eBay type of approach at this point or there’s vendors that actually sell parts that are compatible with it?
my dude! TONY!! you got it! You know I can talk Vintage nitro for hours, lol! I actually had to edit about 10 minutes out from this video, cause I was ranting about the benefits of this larger nitro chassis.
my dude! Whats going on! Big Congrats on joining the NitroGang! This is where you belong. Its a little tough to get the hand of tuning and all that at first, but once you get the basics down, you can't kill a nitro!. BTW feel free to ask the "NitroGang" FB group for any help, we all there to make nitro Great Again.
hey buddy! how you doing! Sounds like the one you're referring to is the HPI RS4-3 model. Sometimes called the RTR 3 or the Nitro 3. It's the never version which was known for the shaft drive system.
I still have mine. And it was a headache. Plastic 52 spur gear that would always strip...dog bones always popping out 15fe motor was slow as snails...n that exhaust u have is not original. It came with a plastic side exhsust. 15fe only goes 30mph....but i had a great exp. As a kid. experience
yo! Jezzee! The red body Super Nitro RS4 is a single speed, it's basically fully stock. The nitro RS4-2 does have a 2-speed. You can;t kill either of them, with proper running and maintenance ofcourse.
@@hirdleyreid5796 sounds good my dude! Good luck! As you now with rare old RCs, parts are a problem. You just gotta find nice used COMPLETE ones, or take it easy on them..
hey buddy! Are you referring to the Nitro or Electric model?? I used to have the HPI Firstrom 10T, but in brushless. I've never owned a a nitro firestorm, but they are similar to the nitro MT2, which I do own!
Convenient yes loss of power and other issues yes also. Hpi is dead sad. The rep told me last year this is the end of HPI covid or not they were done prior to it. Sucks rs4 2 was my first rc
whats up bro! How you doing! I got good news for you! HPI is back!! I recently got a brand new Savage 4.6, with a redesigned body and some upgrades, also some of their other nitro models are bing made, like the bullet and the trophy truggy! In fact HPI even knows who I am, and has been watching my vids, so maybe they will listen to us when we ask for the Nitro Segment to come back.
hey bro! I will say that it tends to run fairly consistently throughout the fuel tank, also keep in mind I was running the extremely thin Original HPI fuel lines and a very restrictive air filter and muffler.
LOL, good question? HPI never made a reference to the SCALE size at the time. They only talked about the fact that it's 20% larger than the normal 1/10 RS4 at the time. In my opinion it's the IDEAL chassis size for on-road and can handle some of the harshness of bad roads more than the low sitting 1/10 scales.
you can NEVER KILL a nitro with proper care an maintenance my dude. Actually the best way to kill it is to not run it and let the motor get seized up, so running some fuel through them once every 3 months is highly recommended. Thanks for watching my dude.
I built my super 10 from scratch with a oscvr 18 with a 21 pipe and it runs almost 60 on the parking lot 😎👍
Hey my dude! Gotta love the OS 18 engine!! One of the best!! I own a couple myself. Thanks for helping keep nitro great!
So much HPI nostalgia in one video. Love it!
thanks bro!>
Hpi needs to find a way 2 corner the market on Nitro cars again. Make Hpi Great Again! 😄

I loved my EMaxx. Had one back in college in the early 2000s. We jumped that thing over anything we could find. Loved that truck.
hell yes bro! ME too! I used to own the original model years ago also, that shift on the fly 2-speed was the BOMB!! I still own one of them to this day, but with a brushless system, there is a video of it on this channel, you gotta check it out.
Awesome vid yo! The night shift life enables me unavailable for most live streams 😪 . But 🤟🤟🤟
hey bro! Thanks so much! The Live streams are fun and ZERO EDITING, so you never know what will happen, or who will show up! lol. I will try to do some more daytime streams for you.
You the man hybrid. Nitro never dies!!!
HELL YEAH BROTHER !!

nice work man. Did you get some footage? Stick it on the nitrogang group on facebook.
Awesome Big D! Missed the Premiere but it was incredible! Great content!
whats up bro!! Glad you saw this video, I'm very proud of this Old Super Nitro. This proves that .5HP and. vintage nitro is all you need!! lol. Time to go run the "Sickening Clack" kyosho Baja Beetle today. Lets see what happens with that.
love the rear exhasut on that super nitro!!..never owned one but I did have an RS4 3 type SS
The Murcielago body look so good in red , what a nice rc !
hey man! Thanks so much!! Glad you liked it! I agree, it's one of my fav bodies also.
Bro you got the best slo-mo’s in the industry👌👍
Hell yeah bro! Hey hpi bring back the nitro rs4
man im loving this about to join nitro gang myself got the baaaad wants for the kyosho usa-1 nitro re release ;)
hey my dude! The NitroGang would love to have you be a member!! BTW I just ordered the USA-1 last night during a liv video. Right now they are out of stock again, but it looks like every couple days they get more. Check HRP, they also have the best prices right now with NO TAX and coupons.
Do not buy this. They will discontinue it parts will be a nightmare to get. Don't waste money on that.
Excellent video with amazing knowledge of your craft. A+ Brother💪👍
Despite inflation. I think it's time to get a super nitro.
Maybe someday soon.
That Lamborghini rs4 so pretty 😍
I totally agree!! The Super Nitro Scale body is terrific, I would say even nicer than the basic 1/10 scales. Also the larger wheels make it looks far more aggressive than the typical 1/10 nitro chassis.
Looking for Christmas decorations I came across my old RS4 3 & Rush Evo which led me here. I definitely did kill my 15FE back in the day though haha
The super Nitro looks super.
Wait till you see a HPI Challenge Team version, like the one Hara and other pros raced with 20+ years ago
You can't kill a Nitro!!
The rs4 3 was my first hobby grade rc and I ran the shot out of it my boy got the rs4 18ss so I had to get the 18ss so stupid I couldn have gotten a os 18 but still had fun
just got me a old cen genesis 7,7 with 3 speed BABY!
whats up my dude! Major Congrats from the Nitrogang! That is a truck which has been on my list for a very long time, I'm proud of you bro!! That is the third biggest Motor ever in any Nitro RTR other than the EK4 and the MGT 8.0
2 SPEED BABY!!!!

That super nitro sounds beefier to.

To be honest with you the most restrictive element on this car was the air filter. That is the filter from the Nitro Bullet, it's got a tiny little hole for the intake.
2speed hitting power band! Makes me want one🤫
Is the 2 speed trans compatible to both the rs4 nitro and super nitro?
Little cool rc cars maybe I should have got a small one ▶️
It would be cool if HPI made and sold a Jaguar XJ220 Super Nitro RS4.
Hey man, I recently stumbled upon an old HPIRS for Evo, but I’m in need of parts. Is it just a eBay type of approach at this point or there’s vendors that actually sell parts that are compatible with it?
Thanks for today’s lesson! Lol
my dude! TONY!! you got it! You know I can talk Vintage nitro for hours, lol! I actually had to edit about 10 minutes out from this video, cause I was ranting about the benefits of this larger nitro chassis.
13:11 it wants to be ridden
I would like to see you ride that lol
My friend which tires are good for the super nitro. To buy.
I just picked up a rs4 hpi gotta fix it but I wanted one
Rev that engine 🚂
HPI here in east coast USA is hard to find..mostly nitro / electric are easierto get...
Good shit bro !!!!! I just picked up my first nitro car. Can’t wait to dive into it 💯❤️🤘🏽
my dude! Whats going on! Big Congrats on joining the NitroGang! This is where you belong.

I had 2 of these too but they had dogbones not beltdrive
hey buddy! how you doing! Sounds like the one you're referring to is the HPI RS4-3 model. Sometimes called the RTR 3 or the Nitro 3. It's the never version which was known for the shaft drive system.
Hey man. Maybe you could help me,
Do both vehicles have compatible parts??
Would the rs4 3 2 speed work on the super nitro?
hey buddy! I'm honestly not sure about the 2-speed being a direct fit. I usually keep things stock.
@@hybrid32494 thank you for the reply!
I still have mine. And it was a headache. Plastic 52 spur gear that would always strip...dog bones always popping out 15fe motor was slow as snails...n that exhaust u have is not original. It came with a plastic side exhsust. 15fe only goes 30mph....but i had a great exp. As a kid. experience
N then the yokomo came at 60mph out the box and dominated..
N now I have an arrma felony. And boy how far we come. Gas stinks like fish. Lol
I want one is it a 2 speed
yo! Jezzee! The red body Super Nitro RS4 is a single speed, it's basically fully stock. The nitro RS4-2 does have a 2-speed. You can;t kill either of them, with proper running and maintenance ofcourse.
Do you have spare parts I’m looking for front upper arm holder
hey buddy! unfortunately I don't have any spare parts for these vintage models, I suggest you look on eBay or buy a cheap parts chassis you could use.
@@hybrid32494 thanks eBay don’t have but I saw a rs4-2 with what I need the owner use the super nitro arms on his so I’m going to buy it no problem
@@hirdleyreid5796 sounds good my dude! Good luck! As you now with rare old RCs, parts are a problem. You just gotta find nice used COMPLETE ones, or take it easy on them..
@@hybrid32494 yeah these cars old but I’m going to ok thanks again
Do u have a HPI firestorm
hey buddy! Are you referring to the Nitro or Electric model?? I used to have the HPI Firstrom 10T, but in brushless. I've never owned a a nitro firestorm, but they are similar to the nitro MT2, which I do own!
Let's pump

Hi.
Hey bud! Thanks for checking out this video man! Nitro 4 life!
Does the car lean out at half tank?
hey bro! I will say that it tends to run fairly consistently throughout the fuel tank, also keep in mind I was running the extremely thin Original HPI fuel lines and a very restrictive air filter and muffler.
Supersized=1/9th scale ?
LOL, good question? HPI never made a reference to the SCALE size at the time. They only talked about the fact that it's 20% larger than the normal 1/10 RS4 at the time. In my opinion it's the IDEAL chassis size for on-road and can handle some of the harshness of bad roads more than the low sitting 1/10 scales.
you cant kill a nitro if you dont run it
you can NEVER KILL a nitro with proper care an maintenance my dude. Actually the best way to kill it is to not run it and let the motor get seized up, so running some fuel through them once every 3 months is highly recommended. Thanks for watching my dude.
