HPI RS4 Rally
This is my new built RS4 Rally. When I received it it had a poorly painted Ford Focus body, so I exchanged it with this Suzuki Escudo I had in my stash. Talk about a decal nightmare! A true test of one's patience! But I love the gaudyness of that Pikes Peak Suzuki. Ugly, but full of horsepower!
The drive train bushings have been swapped completely with ball bearings. I also added a Race Prep 14t modified motor.

Re: HPI RS4 Rally
That is bad-ass! Good ol' Escudo... a staple of Gran Turismo 2. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Who makes the Escudo body? Dynamite job, btw. How long did it take you to finish?

HPI made the body. Painting it was easy, just plain ole white. Decals, heh, that was another story. Took me quite a few hours.

Re: HPI RS4 Rally
great Job I always burn my fingers up with my heat gun, and a box of Q-tips doing HPI bodys looks great thought you cant beat them for scale realness.

Re: HPI RS4 Rally
I've always wondered how that body worked on the track...with that HUGE rear wing. ![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
