Haha I like that pic! When I first read the title I was thinking I was going to see a MINI lifted 8'' in the air with 30'' boggers!
You bonnet sure does look nice!
Technically it is just that BUT at 1/32 scale - Underneath is a HPI Savage RC modded header and CAI and for Xmas we are adding a SUPERCHAGER. They actually make it ! They also make NOS kits !
I have a 1/9th scale wide bodyied RS4 that can hit 90. supercharged and on the bottle.
I'm going to call Bull S**T on this. First off HPI doesn't make a 1/9th scale RS4, They make a 1/10th scale. Second in order to put a super charger on an RC car you have to be running atleast a .25 size engine. And theres no way you can fix a .25 in an RS4. You can fit a .18. So unless you have pictures of something you made yourself. This is crap.

Ok the 1/9th scale car isnt an exact #. It was in between the 10th scale and 8th scale cars. so I say its a 9th scale. Looks like they dropped it cause I cant find it on their site anymore. But if you call them and ask. it did exist.
As for the super charger, I made it. I'll look for my autocad design but im not sure if I still have it. by the way this was about 5 years ago so it isnt on the new .18 motor either.
I was lookin on their site while typing this and look what I found:
"Now available from HPI Racing is the new Porsche 911 Turbo body to fit our Super Nitro RS4! The 911 Turbo is Porsche's top-end supercar, and a great body to put on any short wheelbase (280mm) Super-size R/C car!" and here is a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43wJ02d2CX0
if you want you do the calulations for what scale it truely is, but it isnt a 10th scale car.
My son and I both have savages and love them! HPI makes nice stuff that holds up - wouldn't consider anything else for the money. I like their design and how they are put together, they hold up. We abuse these things past belief. I'm running a .26 engine and my son a .28. These trucks do 45mph plus w/ the two speed gear box.
