I have electric models too but I am starting to go back to nitro now as I was missing the realism experience that nitro gives.
Anyway the engine is easy to start and tune and the model handles really well and the brakes are strong. It's well built and has great presence. Do check the screws are secure though as goes for any RTR model. Highly recommended. This is the first time I've owned an RC car. I've read the manual, went online watched the HPI getting started guide on youtube. I've now broke in the engine and tuned it up. I've had excellent costumer service from Model Sport uk.
Alli can say is wow love this truggy it's a must bye in my book got this after getting a firestorm 10t and this is even better in my books just a great car.

The included steering servo is waterproof and puts out around 90 ounces of torque. It is enough for bashing and light club racing, but if you end up getting serious about racing, optional higher torque servos would be your best bet. The servo is mounted in the lay-down position to further aid in lowering the CG of the truck. The turnbuckles are connected to metal steering knuckles for added durability.
I found this engine to be the perfect match for this type of vehicle because it has tons of low end torque and a great top end, too. It is equipped with a pull starter but the chassis has slots to fit a starter box if racing. Like most truggies, the HPI is a 4WD shaft setup with three differentials front and rear containing four bevel type gears.
Each can be tuned for the desired handling characteristics but the out of the box setup is great for messing around. The differentials power dogbones for the front and rear of the vehicle which connect to 17mm anodized hex adapters. The included wheels have a cool black chrome finish that looks just awesome with the pre-painted body.
HPI includes a set of their Shredder Block tires, which is an all purpose off-road tire that will work well for just about everything racers will need a proper racing set down the line, however. Dual brakes are a steel drilled design powered by the same type of waterproof servo used in steering duty.
While you cannot run nitro engines under water, this will make certain conditions easier to run in snow bashing FTW! The air filter even resists sucking in water particles which would kill an engine in no time with a specially designed filter cover. As mentioned earlier all servos are waterproof and the radio gear is sealed in a waterproof container.
The radio features a pistol-grip design with steering wheel for ease of use and realistic control, compact size, servo reversing and a light weight due to it requiring only four AA batteries. You won't have to worry about radio crystals or what channel other RC racers are using with our 2.
The radio prevents frequency conflicts automatically and changes channels if there is any interference. Finally, if you ever lose radio signal, an electronic failsafe will bring it to a safe and controlled stop. You'll have professional-level control in one easy RTR package! HPI makes it as easy as possible to get into RC racing action. Everything is assembled and tuned for you by professionals - diffs, shocks, suspension and more are perfect before you even open the package. You don't have to do a thing to get going fast!
HPI Ready-To-Run vehicles bring you the same high performance and quality that you'd expect from a high-end RC kit but with the added convenience of being factory pre-assembled to the highest standards - giving you a high-performance RC car straight from the box!
Just like all HPI cars and trucks, you get a full, in-depth instruction manual with step-by-step instructions that allow you to easily disassemble and reassemble your car for maintenance and easy servicing.
The manual also includes a handy parts list and full-scale drawings of the parts and hardware. Nitro Star F4. The F4.
