HPI Nitro Mini RS4
This vintage HPI Nitro Mini Rs4 Mini Cooper has been in our collection from 1997 when they were first introduced by HPI. Built by the crew at fastharry.com, It features all the HPI Options and hop ups available at the time including the HPI Super Chassis, Graphite top deck, Graphite shock towers, Alloy body HPI Racing shocks with Teflon Pistons, Ball differentials, Universal axles, Fully sealed ball bearings, Alloy belt side brace and many others.
Powered by an OS 12 CV nitro engine with optional OS cooling head, it has been raced at every HPI Challenge series (and always in the A Main we might add) when the classes allowed it to compete, and has also been raced at many club races. Check out the cool MIP Boost Bottle and other neat features we built into the car.
The body is an HPI Mini Cooper that was custom painted by the crew at fastharry.com with Pactra Metallic Red paint. Before we painted this body we had an HPI VW Bus body that was painted as a surfer edition.
I recently came across your blog and also have been learning along. I thought I’d leave my 1st remark. I don’t understand what to say except i always have enjoyed looking at. Fine blog. I will keep visiting this site very often.
Thanks, we appreciate it!
hi! is this RS4 mini for sale?
hi Jim…my mini is not for sale…but I do have a NIB HPI Nitro Mini…one of the 2001 re-release cars with the 15fe purple head engines that was shipped in an inside-out HPI Rally car box straight from HPI Racing in Cali. We could let you know if we decide to sell that car.
I’m interested in the NIB one. lowmaks@gmail.com
Hello, I’m sorry to inform you that my brother passed away in 2020 and it has taken me this long to find emails and comments. I’m still trying to figure out how to post this on his web page. I’m sure he would have loved to answer. God Bless. Diane
