what is the difference between Nitro and Super Nitro?

[mexican_speed]

Super nitro is 20% bigger. But if you want the best go with the Serpent Impulse, at about $450, it's worth every dollar. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/cool.gif

OOps i forgot about the serpent get that its also ALOT faster than the rs4.

[Nairb]

The "Super" in Super Nitro RS4 means the whole car is 20% bigger, not just the engine. I just thought I'd make sure the message was clear.

So where do i get the Serpent Impulse? do they sell that at tower hobbies too? i was just looking and it doesn't seem to know what im talking about. what company is it? I really want a car that can hold a .21 engine for more speed/power. i have to get a 1/10 to house that though and that exactly what i want. help me out.

If you want to use a touring car body such as BMW, Civic, etc. you might have to buy a 1/10 touring car and serpent impulse is the best one.

Im getting a vone r also i think it can acept almosnt all 1/10 touring rims ulike the serpent.

The Serpent is good but it is an old car now since it was releassed in '99...the Mugen MTX is a more pro car...and it accepts a lot of wheels that the serpent can't due to large carriers...Although if you wait a little longer you may get yourself a Kyosho V-One R...looks awesome...I'll waiting for this one...

if you want the best of both worlds get the hpi super nitro rally it can go on and offroad and as everyone knows hpi makes the best looking bodies around
and it can be moded to take a .21
