    Later I found out that the previous owner put the right rear at 2• toe-in and the left rear 0• toe-in. Along with the HSP tires it was very unstable. Now it is getting the right treatment. New wheels are coming.

    I have a highly modified 1997 nitro RS4 with a tall geared two speed and an OS .18 CVR, and it hits 70+ mph. It can take quite a few modern electrics off the line too. I have newer cars and trucks both nitro and electric, but my nitro RS4 always takes folks by surprise. It’s so well maintained they can’t believe it’s 23 years old.

      Nitro is not slow! Nitro actually handles speedruns better too. Electric speedrunners run really strong and expensive motors, lipo's and esc 's in order for to handle the high current at full speed and even then it still cathes fire from time to time! We just fuel up, tune and do speedruns for all day!

    Man...take it on the highway cuz you're NEVER gonna get enough run up to hit max speed 3rd gear... lol. The FM radios can go a good 1k meters when they want to, I wouldn't worry about that...just dont run an AM system. Too much interference in the air in 2010+ for am radios :(
    When I was younger there was an rc track with a 1/4 scale oval that I bet you could have run this thing out of speed on... but nowadays I can't imagine where you'd even go to try. Those 1/4 scale cars were the real monsters, like an RC Gokart.

    I came here to watch vintage nitro car, and I was hit by "2005 year"... And words "really old one" just killed me, and my thought was "is there something with RC history I have no idea about". Then I started to searching about its history... Now my question is: Are you from USA? Because you sound alike an american: "Hey look here, we got some VINTAGE nitro car, it's seventeen years old!" When I read "vintage" I was expecting something like 80's maybe early 90's nitro car, not 2005 ;P :D
