HPI Nitro RS4---HELP!!!
Hey guys, i need some help.
I just received an HPI nitro rs4 from someone on the net, and its in pieces! It has an O.S. 15CV engine,
but has no clutch shoes or springs. I am very new to nitro cars-- as i just received my first one last tues. from
ebay (CEN Racing CT4S), and this one along with a Cen Racing TR4 Wed. What I don't know is if i can use a stock clutch from HPI, or if i have to get one aftermarket. Also, i don't know what all i'll need for the clutch
system, because i don't know if everything is here. Another thing, it didn't come with a pipe. What kind of pipe should i get? Here's some pics of what i have. Thanks for any help in advance!!!

RE: HPI Nitro RS4---HELP!!!
why do you need a clutch? it looks like you already have one on your 15 cv. in the first pic it doesnt, but in the second pic shows it beside the engine and the third shows it on the engine. but if that doesnt work for any reason then you could go to www.towerhobbies.com to get a complete clutch or you could go to your lhs. what you should get with your new clutch is
1.) the clutch
2.) 2 or 3 clutch springs
3.) 2 or 3 clutch shoes
all these pieces are cheap, the shoes are like $5-6 bucks, the springs are $2 and the clutch should be around $10-12, but make sure when you get your clutch to keep in mind the tooth number on it, a lower number (11,12) will give you better acceleration and a higher number(13,14,15) will give you better top speed. good luck with your new clutch
