We're adding another legendary team to our All-Star Drift line up!! Yes, the RS4 Sport 3 Drift range welcomes Team Worthouse - the Polish / Irish duo that turned the world of professional drifting upside down - Taking Formula Drift by storm for 3 back to back world-beating glorious years! And what better way to celebrate this than by owning your own piece of drift history!?
This special edition RS4 Sport 3 Drift ships with 2 sets of decals, James' set pre-applied and Piotr's ready to add - what this means is you have a choice:
You can either drive the 215 car of Piotr Więcek a true force to be reckoned with in drifting and the man behind Candy Machine and some of the most entertaining content in motorsport! ...Or, arguably the most successful pro drift driver in recent memory, a man who needs no introduction: James Deane!
The super realistic Nissan Silvia S15 body is coupled with a complete set of brand new replica 7Twenty Style55 wheels in a cool silver finish, each one wrapped with replica Falken Azenis drift tires to get you running slideways as soon as you hit the throttle.
Under the hood, this 1/10th scale drift machine is equipped with the latest 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 it’s ready to run in any condition.
7Twenty Style55 wheels
Not only are we adding another legendary replica drifter to our line-up, but we're also welcoming a new wheel design to our vast range of 1/10 wheel, tire and body options. Inspired by James and Piotr's own choice of rims, the Style55 7-spoke design from 7Twenty is a popular choice with drifters around the world with their Hyper Black (silver) finish, complete with eyecatching blue spoke sticker they look every bit the part - all be it in miniature!
Falken Azenis RT615 T-Drift tires
Rounding out the package are official replicas Falken Azenis RT615 T-Drift Tires. These low-profile drift-specific tires are made for high-performance, realistic drift action at 1/10th scale! With a super stiff, hard plastic construction, HPI drift tires are the ideal way to get drifting quickly and easily. The super realistic replica tread pattern looks fantastic, and only gets better with age as the tires wear down, just like the real thing!
Official replica of the car that made drift history
It's hard to overstate the impact of Team Worthouse on the world of drift since their debut on the main stage back in 2017. Widely considered to be underdogs back then venturing over from Europe to take on the World. But after James' win at their first event in Long Beach neither driver looked back with Piotr taking Rookie of the Year in 2017, victories at Irwindale, Texas and Monroe. And of course James taking the overall championship in '17, '18 and 19. After three years with little else to prove the team announced they would exit Formula Drift and whilst the story is by no means over, it's great to think that for the Worthouse 215 and 130 that took the world by storm - the action can continue in RC form!
The whole team in one box
Fancy turning the James Deane Worthouse drift team body shell into Piotr Więcek Candy machine? Included in the box is a sheet of decals for you to place over the top of the pre-placed scheme. Converting the Worthouse 130 of James Deane to his team mates 215.
One-piece molded chassis
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.
Low-profile layout design
One of the ways we gave the RS4 Sport 3 Drift the best possible handling was to make sure all the components fit as low as possible in the chassis. This gives the car an amazingly low center of gravity for optimum cornering capabilities.
2S LiPo capable
The RS4 Sport 3 Drift features a versatile electronic speed controller that can be used with modern lithium-polymer (LiPo) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Please note a LiPo adapter plug is not included, your model shop will be able to provide one.
Fits a wide variety of batteries
The RS4 Sport 3 Drift 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.
Full-time four wheel drive
The RS4 Sport 3 Drift 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.
Sealed shaft drivetrain
The drivetrain of all the RS4 Sport 3 Drift models features the motor mounted longitudinally in the molded chassis, next to the long driveshaft that goes down the center of the car. The entire drivetrain, including the central driveshaft and gear diffs, is completely sealed to prevent dirt, rocks and debris from damaging or binding the drivetrain. The driveshaft, diffs and axles spin on ball bearings to maximize drivetrain efficiency.
Bottom-access driveshaft
The central driveshaft that connects the front and rear differentials is easily accessed from underneath the chassis. This allows the drivetrain to be completely sealed to protect it from rocks and debris no matter where you may want to drive your car.
Option: carbon fiber driveshaft cover
You can easily replace the stock driveshaft cover on the bottom of the chassis with a carbon fiber cover that provides extra stiffness and extra-cool looks.
Easy access differentials
Getting to the differentials for quick adjustments is a matter of removing just 4 screws - this allows you to pop out the diff and change the grease, check the gears or just give it a general service.
4-gear metal difs
Bevel gear differentials at each end of the car transfer power from the driveshaft to the dogbones and axles that drive each wheel. The all-metal construction allows the drivetrain to withstand powerful brushless motors for easy upgrading in the future. Rubber-sealed ball bearings support the differentials and each diff can be tuned independently by changing the diff grease.
Option: diff spool
The optional diff spool removes all diff action for direct traction and braking action from your trigger finger straight to the wheels.
Double-wishbone fully adjustable suspension
The suspension of the RS4 Sport 3 Drift 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.
Multiple shock positions
Option: carbon fiber shock towers
The option pair of carbon fiber shock towers not only look amazing, but also adds extra stiffness to the suspension for optimal performance. The carbon fiber material is extra-lightweight which lowers the center of gravity on the RS4 Sport 3 as well.
Oil-filled threaded shocks
The RS4 Sport 3 Drift is fitted with a set composite coilover-style oil-filled shocks, just like what you'd see on a real race car! The fully adjustable shocks are fully tunable to provide the optimum chassis performance on a wide variety of road surfaces. The ride height is quickly adjustable by using the threaded shock collars. Further tuning adjustments are also possible by changing the springs and shock oil weight.
Option: anodized aluminium threaded shocks
For optimum performance, you'll want a set of anodized aluminum threaded shocks that are machined to perfection. The full anodized aluminum threaded shock body, aluminum shock collar, aluminum top and bottom caps will allow you to make the most precise tuning adjustments.
Tough front end suspension
The RS4 Sport 3 Drift front end uses the strong C-hub style suspension seen on the latest RC touring cars, with a vertical ball stud camber mount that lets you change the front end roll center – which is a critical racing adjustment that allows the RS4 Sport 3 Drift to be a step above other sport-level RC touring cars. The suspension arm also features multiple shock mounting holes for easy shock angle adjustment.
Tunable rear suspension
The rear hub is fitted with a vertical ball stud style adjustment that allows easy adjustment of the rear roll center. Moving the ball stud up or down with the optional spacers changes the traction characteristics of the rear end as the car goes through the turns. The suspension arm also features 3 different shock mounting holes for easy shock angle adjustment.
Option: CVD driveshafts
The optional all-in-one CVD drive shafts greatly increases the precision and efficiency of the entire driveline and steering for maximum driving performance.
Option: adjustable camber link turnbuckles
The optional set of adjustable turnbuckles will allow you to quickly fine tune the camber setting of your RS4 Sport 3 Drift for optimum performance.
Double bellcrank steering
The performance tested adjustable double bell crank system provides optimum steering precision at all speeds. A metal drag link plate connects the cranks for extra durability, the additional drag link mounting positions also allows for Ackermann angle adjustments.
Rugged spring-loaded servo saver
The RS4 Sport 3 includes an adjustable multipiece cam-style servo saver, which protects the servo from crash damage. In the event of a crash or collision, the front wheels usually take a big portion of the blow and transmits the impact directly to the steering servo. The strong spring-loaded cam action of the servo saver is designed to absorb this force and protect the servo gears from the impact!
Aluminium motor mount
The cast aluminum cam-style motor mount holds the motor in place for a secure pinion/spur connection. Two screws hold the cam firmly in position on the mount, and cooling fins on the lateral support aid heat dissipation to keep the motor running as efficiently as possible.
Metal-shielded ball bearings
The RS4 Sport 3 is fully fitted with a set of metal-shielded ball bearings for maximum efficiency. The metal shields keep the dust away from the internals while the smooth precision bearings provides for optimum power delivery from the power source out into the driveline.
Rugged front bumper
To protect the front suspension, chassis and body from impacts big and small, an extra thick foam bumper is securely fastened to the front of the RS4 Sport 3 Drift.
Customize your look
A huge variety of option bodies, wheels and tires from HPI lets you fully customize the style of your RS4 Sport 3 to suit your style.
Adjustable height body mounts
The adjustable height body mounts let you fit any 1/10th scale touring car body from HPI Racing on to the RS4 Sport 3 chassis. All you need to do is adjust the front and rear body mounts to allow the wheels and chassis elements to fit properly underneath the body. Body pins hold the mounts in place, and the multiple mounting hole positions allow you to fine-tune the exact body fitment.
Body choices
You can fit any 1/10th scale touring car body from HPI Racing onto the RS4 Sport 3, from hot hatches to supercars, pick-up trucks to supertouring racers. All you need to do is adjust the body mounts front and rear to allow the wheels to fit underneath the body properly. A simple system using body pins hold the mounts in place, and you can fine-tune the fit to get the exact ride height you want.
