So I decided that I was going to finish my project RS4 MT that I started about 3 years ago and never finished. Well, since then, HPI has discontinued this kit and finding replacement parts, and hop ups especially, is proving to be less than easy. There are a few parts I still need. If any of you guys know where I could find these online, or even if you have them laying around and what to get rid of them, let me know. Here is the parts list:

A455 Main Chassis (Tower has had this on backorder for almost a year. I placed a backorder but still have yet to receive one.)

A905 Ball Diff (I found one on quick tech hobby, but after I ordered it they claimed it was out of stock. Great.)

A509 Super Front One Way (Same story as the Main Chassis.)

I could also use a few packs of Duratrax (or any other company that makes them) 3m purple locknuts. If any of you guys can help me out, It would be most appreciated. I'm $1200 in the hole now and with out these items, I cannot finish it.

interested in a set of MIP part #1292 CVD kit for RS-4MT(rear)?

I'm hoping seriously that you mean $120 in the hole, not $1200. Otherwise, that would be like trying to restore a Yugo.

No thanks, I only need the parts I listed.

And yes, that is $1200. The RS4 MT is not a Yugo, its actually a very capable truck when put into the right hands. And what do you suggest? Putting $1200 into a Savage or Revo or T-Maxx, and have a project truck that looks just like 17,840,243 others? Whats the fun in that? " I spent $1200 on my truck and its still just like thousands of others! " I chose the RS4 MT because it is a capable truck that not too many people put money into. Its just like those $1000 rustlers i've seen here and there. Is a rustler the best? No. But EVERYONE appreciates a project Rustler because its unique and is not something done 100x a day.
