The Super Nitro ones have the same .15FE engine but why Super in the name whats differ bigger?
Whats the fastes stock of these at what speeds?
Sorry for the mucho questions but I just needed to know them.

Ok, the RTR3 and RS4 3 Type SS use 1/10 scale bodies. THe .12SS engine has about 1hp and the SS has a two speed, while the 15FE is rated about .6hp and can propel both cars it powers to about 35mph, the SS goes about 45.

Thanks the 1/10 scale bodies are 200mm right? Is there any cheap ways to get it over the 50mph mark or even faster? By changing thingies like gearing?
is the RS4 type SS a good car? not only for beginners but pros?
just a off topic question. Whats a very very fast Nitro car....as in speed. not the name of the car just speed about.

I am always looking for idea I think the Street force would making modding much harder. Is that true?

I'm thinkin about gettin the RS4 3 Type SS with the Saleen body as my first nitro.They look very good exept for the plastic disc brake I heard.I'd love building the car and breakin it in and modding the engine.This looks like the car for me

If you get the SS you should order the fiber brake upgrade when you buy the car.The plastic one wears out really fast.Mine wore out after about 3 quarts then I just put in the fiber one.

The two cars are pretty close in comparison.I've heard the TC3 has a better chassis setup but it doesn't come with a 2speed but even with the 2speed the two cars are about the same in the speed category(stock vs. stock) but I think you'd be happy with either car they are both sweet!

If your just gonna be bashing all the time then i say get the HPI if your gonna be racing right out of the box then get the TC3.Ive' read threads in here about HPI winning some races but the car was HEAVILY modified and I've read articles in mags that people have won race's with a TC3 with no more than an engine and a 2speed and maybe some suspension stuff.I have a RS4 SS and I love it and I've never had any problems starting the stock engine and i've never broken anything even after I rolled it with no body on at full speed witch is about 45mph!!!! ONLY SCRATCHED THE HEAD!!!!
