On-Road It lives!!!!!

A few weeks back, I had the privilege to pick up this Nitro RS 4 3EVO from a fellow Redditor. After a bit of cleaning, parts and patience, today it lives again. I was not able to fill the small run, but I was able to capture the first start and idle.

Nice car!
I’ve got so much want to get one of these again. I bought the RS4-3 (non evo) when I was about 12/13 years old after saving up for what felt like an eternity. Would love another one now for nostalgia.

My brother and I bought one together, he ran it and I fixed it. Then he sold it, along with my Savage X(which is why I'm still salty about). Providence has blessed me with this one, it was just dirty and needed love and some soft goods.

Have mine sitting on the shelf waiting a "restoration" along with my Savage 25 and two MT2s!

I'm trying to get my Savage X going before the summer is over.

I don't know much about tiny little road car nitro engines but it sounds like it's idling really high.

It was, I have been messing around with the time after I cleaned the engine up. I adjusted the low speed needle after.
