    I built my super 10 from scratch with a oscvr 18 with a 21 pipe and it runs almost 60 on the parking lot 😎👍

    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.

    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 ?

      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.

    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.

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.

    • @hybrid32494
      @hybrid32494  3 роки тому +1

      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.
