Double-Bellcrank Steering
Optimised Ackermann Geometry for Enhanced Handling and Confident Control with an Adjustable Double Bell Crank System and Durable Metal Drag Link Plate.
Double-Wishbone Fully Adjustable Suspension
The RS4 Sport 3's suspension boasts a race-proven double-wishbone design, mirroring the setup of modern race cars. Fine-tune anti-squat and anti-dive using standard pivot blocks, while optional parts offer control over sweep and toe angles. Achieve precise roll centre adjustments front and rear with vertical ball stud mounting on both inner and outer camber links. Multiple shock mounting positions ensure adaptability to various road conditions with a comprehensive range of shock suspension angles.
Tunable Rear Suspension
The rear hub features a vertical ball stud adjustment, enabling effortless rear roll centre customisation. Adjusting the ball stud height with optional spacers directly influences rear-end traction as the car navigates corners. Additionally, the suspension arm offers three distinct shock mounting holes for convenient shock angle fine-tuning.
One Piece Moulded Chassis
In contrast to multipart plastic tub chassis prone to flex, the RS4 Sport 3's one-piece moulded chassis delivers exceptional rigidity and torsional stability. This translates to enhanced handling precision and responsiveness, giving you a competitive edge on the track.
Low Profile Layout Design
HPI achieved exceptional handling in the RS4 Sport 3 by strategically positioning components as low as possible in the chassis. This design results in an ultra-low centre of gravity, significantly enhancing cornering performance

Easy-Access Differentials

Sealed Shaft Drivetrain
The drivetrain is sealed for optimal performance and durability. The motor is mounted longitudinally alongside a central driveshaft that runs the length of the car. This entire drivetrain, including the driveshaft and gear differentials, is fully sealed to protect it from dirt, rocks, and debris. Ball bearings throughout the drivetrain maximise efficiency and ensure smooth operation
Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive
The 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.
Rugged Front Bumper
This durable bumper provides protection for the suspension, chassis, and body during impacts, ensuring your car can withstand the rigours of on-road and off-road driving
Spring-Loaded Servo Saver
An adjustable cam-style servo saver protects the steering servo from crash damage. This spring-loaded servo saver absorbs impact forces, preventing damage to the servo gears during collisions. Drive with confidence knowing your steering system is protected, even during aggressive driving
