Belt Drive RC's with Brushless Power and other Questions about a HPI Rally RS4

[nascarkeith]

I just won a HPI Rally RS4 off of that auction site we have all heard of. I got it RTR with Futaba electronics, P2PK motor, Venom 3000 mah battery, 3 bodies, the inner body, and 3 sets of wheels and tires shipped for $95. It has been driven and used but by the pics doesn't look damaged or abused.




My main question is how do the belt drives hold up to brushless power? All my 4x4 stuff is shaft drive so I don't have any experience with belt drive except for the week I drove my TLT stock.

My other question would be is there any other tendencies I should know about with belt drives or the RS4?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I will probably keep the WS6 for a street body and I definetly plan on doing my own rally body. Any suggestions? Evo or Subaru with a decent paint job, maybe.

I just traded a RS4 drag Charger. I ran a Mamba 7700 in it just fine. Just dial it in. I would go with a smaller motor for your setup though.

TattooKenny I didn't think about that. I followed that build while you and JIA were working on it. That thing is killer. I was thinking something more like a 4600 kv or one of the EZrun set ups discussed here Another brushless option!!!
