REPLICA CLASSIC BMW M3 E30 WARSTEINER BODY
The famous three stripe racing liveries have donned BMW’s race cars since the 1970s have become iconic to the M
brand through today. The blue stands for BMW red for motorsport and violet for the unique combination of
the two. Piloting this Warsteiner branded car Roberto Ravaglia is one of the most successful racing drivers of this era and winner of seven titles in four different championships
and every detail of his World beating 1987 car has been replicated for this special edition of the RS4 SPORT 3.
ONE-PIECE MOLDED CHASSIS
The main chassis is formed from a single piece of reinforced plastic and features the drivetrain tunnel molded right down the middle just like a real car. It’s a step beyond any plastic tub chassis car available today.
LOW PROFILE LAYOUT DESIGN
One of the ways we gave the RS4 Sport 3 the best possible handling was to make sure all the components fit as low as possible in the chassis. This gives the car an amazingly low center of gravity for optimum cornering capabilities.
2S LIPO CAPABLE
The RS4 Sport 3 features a versatile electronic speed controller that can be used with modern lithium-polymer (LiPo) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Please note a LiPo adapter plug is not included your model shop will be able to provide one.
FITS A WIDE VARIETY OF BATTERIES
The RS4 Sport 3 chassis can fit lithium-polymer (LiPo) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) packs of various sizes including the extra-long 7-cell NiMH packs. Whatever your power requirements it can hold it all! A thick hook-and-loop strap holds the pack securely in place and a simple battery block screws into place to allow you to adjust the weight distribution forward or backward for extra steering or acceleration.
FULL-TIME FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
The RS4 Sport 3 features full-time four-wheel drive to give you the most control and precision on the road or track. All four wheels are driven by heavy duty gear differentials at the front and rear just like a real car. The extra traction gives you increased acceleration and cornering control for maximum confidence and fun.
SEALED SHAFT DRIVETRAIN
The drivetrain of all the RS4 Sport 3 models features the motor mounted longitudinally in the molded chassis next to the long driveshaft that goes down the center of the car. The entire drivetrain including the central driveshaft and gear diffs is completely sealed to prevent dirt rocks and debris from damaging or binding the drivetrain. The driveshaft diffs and axles spin on ball bearings to maximize drivetrain efficiency.
BOTTOM-ACCESS DRIVESHAFT
The central driveshaft that connects the front and rear differentials is easily accessed from underneath the chassis. This allows the drivetrain to be completely sealed to protect it from rocks and debris no matter where you may want to drive your car.
OPTION: CARBON FIBER DRIVESHAFT COVER
You can easily replace the stock driveshaft cover on the bottom of the chassis with a carbon fiber cover that provides extra stiffness and extra-cool looks.
EASY ACCESS DIFFERENTIALS
Getting to the differentials for quick adjustments is a matter of removing just 4 screws – this allows you to pop out the diff and change the grease check the gears or just give it a general service.
4-GEAR METAL DIFFS
Bevel gear differentials at each end of the car transfer power from the driveshaft to the dogbones and axles that drive each wheel. The all-metal construction allows the drivetrain to withstand powerful brushless motors for easy upgrading in the future. Rubber-sealed ball bearings support the differentials and each diff can be tuned independently by changing the diff grease.
DOUBLE-WISHBONE FULLY ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION
The suspension of the RS4 Sport 3 uses the race-proven double-wishbone suspension design similar to a full-scale modern race car. You’ll be able to control the anti-squat and anti-dive of the front and rear arms using the standard pivot blocks and the option parts allow you to adjust the sweep and toe angles. You’ll also be able to easily change the roll center front and rear with the racing-style vertical ballstud mounting on both the inner and outer camber link mounts. Multiple shock mounting positions provide a full range of shock suspension angle adjustment to suit different road conditions.
ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT BODY MOUNTS
The adjustable height body mounts let you fit any 1/10th scale touring car body from HPI Racing on to the RS4 Sport 3 chassis. All you need to do is adjust the front and rear body mounts to allow the wheels and chassis elements to fit properly underneath the body. Body pins hold the mounts in place and the multiple mounting hole positions allow you to fine-tune the exact body fitment.
BODY CHOICES
You can fit any 1/10th scale touring car body from HPI Racing onto the RS4 Sport 3 from hot hatches to supercars pick-up trucks to supertouring racers. All you need to do is adjust the body mounts front and rear to allow the wheels to fit underneath the body properly. A simple system using body pins hold the mounts in place and you can fine-tune the fit to get the exact ride height you want.
