I had a Rooster reversible and a T4. Woohoo! Big time! One of the benefits of having a part-time job at a hobby shop. Colpar all day swing shift at Stapleton airport swing shift. I was the guy who painted the Golden Tail on the Proud Bird, and fixed your squeaky seatbacks in the cabin 😆 Fix the the old car.🤪

This thing is sweet. I have a RS4 Pro I built when I was in high school. Never put any electronics in it. Still looks brand new.

[@kyleranderson5557]

I’m picking up a vintage traxxas 4tec original this week I’m excited

[@whophukenfarted]

You know damn well you ain’t trying to just set that thing on the shelf! Listening to you talk about it just make that thing rip you know you want to! 😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@RCeveryday]

Haha! very true, it takes me back.

If you're looking for something to polish the plastic shell, try polywatch or any brand of "plastic watch crystal polish" to buff out the scratches. I tired it on the windows of an old lexan body and it worked so well I ended up using it on the whole body lol. Super jealous right now, I wanted one of these back in the day so bad but I just never had the money. I think you should restore it and turn it into drifter. 👍👍

Send it!! lol I just bought an HPI RS4 911 Porsche, shaft driven with fuchs offset rims on slick tires.. I love it! It “was” a shelf queen.. I’m going to try and squeeze a HobbyWing fusion 2300kv in there so I can shoot some video’s without wrecking it.

[@rcaddictgarage]

Nice vintage classic👍👍👍

[@mikewilson164]

Always wanted 1, thought they were neat

[@brianargo1659]

Super cool ride!! I would liked to seen it with those wheels and tires put in there. But as far as the car goes i would definitely like to see it again real soon with a hot motor and some new shoes tearing up the asphalt.😂 but keep the videos coming

[@kahmed7328]

I love this vintage content man! Unfortunately I was out of RC during the heydays of HPI. I just had some fun driving my TA02 brushless with Subaru Brat lexan body on it and rally tires. I would like you to make this into a runner!

[@WoolstyRC]

Awesome man I say do the minimal to get it running have some fun for a wile then possibly restore it and shelf it, also would it be possible to turn your mic volume up a little thanks 👊🏼🤙🏼💨💨

[@kjflyte5088]

Yard sold all my old HPI , awesome video though of a flashback, although with hpi's new owners I bet this rig gets re released lol.

[@R.Sole88109]

1996, damn! When did I get old?😟😆 Getting it running would be good but how delicate is the body after all the years?.

[@mikeupton5406]

I just tell'em I'm 64 going on 12.

[@user-nu9vw4jx3m]

I have the same exact one but mine came with the Honda Accord body

[@henrymca]

I still have my Hpi RS4 rally and still use it from time to time only because parts are getting hard to find for it

[@craigpimlott204]

For the price of Nimh batteries now you can get decent lipo’s ..here in Britain I wouldn’t buy nimh batteries too expensive

[@alansantacruz4635]

Nice how much?

[@PhoenixRCCrawler]

Run Em All! lol
