Default Subaru WRX HPI RS4 Rally

I've had this car for a little over a year but recently decided to pull it out and do a little work to it. I got it off ebay as a roller for less than one hundred bucks, it was totally original and included the box and manual. It was in decent shape with little wear but first thing I did was rebuilt the diffs and shocks and then replace the belts. Over the last year I installed the following:

- Orion 17x2 Method motor (CRF green aluminum end bell)
- Novak Rooster ESC with fan
- Futaba servo and Rx for my 3PM
- Elite 4000Mah 6-cell stick pack
- HPI green springs
- HPI anti sway bars (green up front and orange in the rear)
- HPI Pirelli rally tires on silver spoke wheels





My plan is to get a new body and paint it up nice. I also may try to find some drift accessories like mirrors and wipers to dress it up a bit.

I really love fully size rally for the excitement, the RC versions are just as cool IMO.

Here is my RS4 rally on the outside:





I think the drivers give it an unmatched scale look:

I love how this car drifts in the dirt it actually even doubles as a really good street drifter (drifts better than my old RS4 Pro II before I sold it!)

Here is a pic of the rally with my 190mm Pro II body and drift tires on it, it looks kind of goofy with all the fender clearance but it still rips.



This will give a good idea of what it will look like with a new body on it but the car really needs the 210mm body to keep the tires from rubbing.
