HPI 120103 1/10 RS4 Sport 3 Warsteiner BMW M3 E30 AWD Touring Car
HPI is delighted to announce this new edition RS4 Sport 3 BMW M3 E30 draped in the famous BMW Warsteiner livery and a tribute to the Schnitzer Motorsport machine piloted by Roberto Ravaglia to many years of success - Notably the World Touring Car Championship win in 1987!
With so many fantastic machines running the illustrious BMW livery, it didn't take HPI long to settle on which version to replicate, as every true Touring Car fan will know the name Roberto Ravaglia, winner of Spa 24hr, DTM and many others.
Under the hood, this 1/10th scale classic BMW is built on the fan favourite HPI Racing Touring Car chassis, the RS4 Sport 3. With full time shaft driven 4WD, a fully sealed drivetrain, waterproof 2.4 GHz electronics/radio gear, fully independent double wishbone suspension and adjustable oil filled shocks, you'll be ready to shred in any condition.
Completing the car is a set of BBS RS Mesh wheels, each wrapped in our tried and tested 26mm SPEC-GRIP rubber tires for fantastic acceleration, braking and cornering performance on any surface.
The RS4 SPORT 3 Warsteiner BMW E30 runs on stunning replica, BBS RS Mesh wheels, synonymous with the early 80's BMW M series cars. Our 1/10 versions feature highly detailed and strong mesh spokes with details of the originals iconic two piece design completed by a painted finish in Gold and Silver.
Each wheel is wrapped in the tried and tested 26mm SPEC-GRIP rubber tires complete with multi condition tread and high traction rubber "K" compound for maximum grip on just about every paved surface. You'll get great acceleration, braking and cornering performance from these semi-slick, grippy rubber tires! The tires are molded in a durable, long-wearing rubber compound that will give you a long life for hours of fun and enjoyment.
The famous three stripe racing liveries have donned BMW's race cars since the 1970s have become iconic to the M brand through today. The blue stands for BMW, red for motorsport and violet for the unique combination of the two. Piloting this Warsteiner branded car, Roberto Ravaglia is one of the most successful racing drivers of this era and winner of seven titles in four different championships and every detail of his World beating 1987 car has been replicated for this special edition of the RS4 SPORT 3.
The main chassis is formed from a single piece of reinforced plastic and features the drivetrain tunnel molded right down the middle, just like a real car. It's a step beyond any plastic tub chassis car available today.
The RS4 Sport 3 chassis can fit lithium-polymer (LiPo) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) packs of various sizes, including the extra-long 7-cell NiMH packs. Whatever your power requirements, it can hold it all! A thick hook-and-loop strap holds the pack securely in place, and a simple battery block screws into place to allow you to adjust the weight distribution forward or backward for extra steering or acceleration.
The RS4 Sport 3 features full-time four-wheel drive to give you the most control and precision on the road or track. All four wheels are driven by heavy duty gear differentials at the front and rear, just like a real car. The extra traction gives you increased acceleration and cornering control for maximum confidence and fun.
The suspension of the RS4 Sport 3 uses the race-proven double-wishbone suspension design, similar to a full-scale modern race car. You’ll be able to control the anti-squat and anti-dive of the front and rear arms using the standard pivot blocks, and the option parts allow you to adjust the sweep and toe angles. You'll also be able to easily change the roll center front and rear with the racing-style vertical ballstud mounting on both the inner and outer camber link mounts. Multiple shock mounting positions provide a full range of shock suspension angle adjustment to suit different road conditions.
