    Finally got it! Its an HPI RS4 Rally. quite rare these days. Hpi only made them for a couple of years and discontinued them. I haven't ran it yet, cause i dont have a right connector for the charger, but i bet it should do 35-40. Its got a 15 turn motor on it. The condition of it is like brand new, all the shield are in and are in great condition! Cant wait to get it rolling. [​IMG]

    That looks pretty familiar... I have one that currently has an '03 WRC body. Mine has a 9 turn triple motor in it (which I advanced the timing 20° on). :) It'll do about 45 on the street. Haven't ran it in years though.

    Where's the BOV?

    I've got a pair of the 18-series AWD trucks from TA. Good times. They're both due for some "mods" resulting from "curbage" that has cracked various bits.

    Drop a Mamba in there!

    I got a Propulse from Radioshack which is an exact copy of TA rc18T, but better . I got mamba in it and its totally sick, fast as hell and very durable.

    I would love to put a mamba set up on this one but it will cost like 200 dollars.

    Interesting. Looks like they're private-label manufactured by the same folks doing TA stuff. Not a *lot* cheaper when you consider you have to buy the batteries separate - i.e. not truly RTR.

    I love Radioshack - always good stuff.

    Looking to convert one of my TA 18s to an 18R with STi body.

    ^^^ haha, well i will tell you how much i paid for it. It was $200. But i sold my old rs4 nitro for 190 on ebay so i pretty much only paid like 30 bucks for it considering i paid paypal fees an installing fees on ebay. I however will use your service of headlight polishing. when can you do it?

    BTW, we should build a huge jump for my propulse and jump it hard core. Kinda like this guy did http://youtube.com/watch?v=H2lVF6xDpgc

    Interesting...I picked up my TA 18s for $185 each RTR from Hub Hobby...

    Agree on the jump. Some local mountain bike and BMX trails would be easy places to start.
