Nitro S/C RC I have been building up my RS4-3 for the past couple of years as something to get my mind off of day to day bs and I got a so called super charger for fathers day. I havent got it tuned yet as I had to do a little bit of reworking to get it to fit. Hopefully it was worth the trouble.What do you guys think?

Nice looking car, I've seen those plenty of times. But I've never heard how they run or how much of a difference they make. Fun, but the mark up on the replacement parts on the higher end r/c cars is like 300%, gets ridiculous after a while. Which is why my buddy and i sold ours.
Thats cool. I have been thinkin about gettin one of those RC cars to play with after my next round of mods on the T/A, but I haven't seen a Trans Am body for them. Do they make the T/A bodies??

Too bad those superchargers don't work on those engines. Also, the dual exhaust setup you've got is probably hurting you. You need a good tuned pipe. And, if you want a power adder, nitrous does work.

that's badass, I used to build airplanes, had a 1/5 or 1/6th scale Extra 300s with a .91 Saito 4 stroke. Clocked at over 120 MPH the last time i flew it. Scared the crap out of me cause i had over 1 grand in it. Sold it, wish i never did though, it was a blast. Was getting ready to buy a 1.2 OS 4stroke supercharged for it.

Here is my s/c rc.....basically everything you could do to it. awd....could roast tires when I wanted no problem....had 2 gears.....went 73mph and got there within seconds.....sold it to help buy a real supercharged camaro...lol
If you tune it it will fly....I did notice a big difference with the s/c and I did buy that dual exhaust and seemed like it hurt performance so I took it off.....but it does look cool....I would also get a real air filter like I have instead of the little thing it comes with..
