The powerful Nitro Star G3.0 sits far forward in the all-new chassis, providing loads of horsepower and enhancing the balance of the car for perfect weight distribution and handling. With most of the weight on the front tyres just like full-size drift machines, the rear of the car smoothly rotates around corners for proper drift precision and grace. There is no better nitro drift car on the planet!
It's easy to transform the look of the Nitro 3 Drift: just drop on a high quality HPI officially licensed bodyshell from import legends like Honda, Toyota, Nissan and others, then bolt on a set of slick JDM (Japan Domestic Market) replica alloy wheels to complete the outrageous drift style! You can also add on a wide array of bright aluminium and extremely cool woven carbon fibre options to highlight the chassis.

The Nitro RS4 series of cars has historically been one of the top-selling kits in the HPI Racing line-up, and with the release of the RTR Nitro RS4 3 Drift, HPI has jumped directly into the growing and very popular motorsport of drifting! No longer just a conversion kit for the Nitro RS4 3, this is a newly designed, ready-to-run, pre-assembled nitro-powered car that is ideal for the drift fanatic or racing fan! Choose the Nissan Silvia S15 body or the muscular Toyota Soarer to suit your style, they’re both pre-painted, pre-trimmed, pre-applied decals, and both come with chrome Volk TE-37 wheels and drift tires for authentic JDM drift looks. Realistic ‘3-D’ wings and authentic drift company graphics complete the full drift maniac look! The RTR Nitro RS4 3 Drift is ideal for the beginner to intermediate RC hobbyist because it is fully assembled right out of the box, with pre-glued tyres and pre-painted bodyshell. All that’s required to get rolling is fuel, AA batteries and a glow plug igniter (see the bottom of the kit page for all support equipment needed to properly run the car). In just a few minutes, you can be watching the excellent HPI DVD instructions and getting your car driving around in about half an hour!

Underneath the cool street style of any top drift machine is loads of power, and the Nitro 3 Drift is no different: the power of the mighty HPI Nitro Star G3.0 engine gives you all the horsepower you want for huge top speeds and long tyre-smoking power slides in every turn! The chassis layout has been completely revised by the HPI Japan design team for optimal drifting. The engine and center gearbox have been moved forward to help the car rotate smoothly, and special shock springs are tuned for drifting. Type A drift radial tires are included, featuring a hard compound rubber for controllable high speed nitro drifting.
