HPI Racing - 1:10 Audi e-Tron Vision GT Flux - RS4 Sport 3 RTR HP160202

We are delighted to unveil what is no doubt our most ambitious, detailed and realistic official scale replica partnership yet! When Audi designers pushed themselves to turn a best selling video game car into a reality, HPI's designers followed suit with the dream that this amazing electric race machine could also hit the the real-world track in 1:10th form!

Since the dawn of Formula E, electric powered racing has been growing across the motorsport world which is music to our ears as we've been racing with electric power for over 30 years!

So what better way to take RC to a generation of sim racers than with the very real, incredibly fast, utterly sublime Sport 3 FLUX Audi e-tron Vision GT!

Audi designers first created the “Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo” as part of a competition for the popular video game's 15th anniversary. So successful was the virtual car that Audi decided it should be the first concept car of this range to be deployed to real-world race tracks as a fully functional vehicle. Numerous appearances followed, including serving as Race Taxi at Formula E races in 2018.

Still as popular as ever in "sim form," this car is enjoyed the world over by countless fans. However in the flesh, the priceless one-of-a-kind car now lives in the Audi Museum in Ingolstadt, only to be driven by a privileged few....Until now!!

UNDER THE HOOD

Under the hood everything is as you would expect with the superb Sport 3 FLUX chassis and its full-time 4WD shaft driven, fully sealed drivetrain, waterproof electronics/radio gear, fully independent double wishbone suspension and adjustable oil-filled shocks.

We're confident that when fans swap their gamepads for the 2.4 GHz TF-41 transmitter they will be thrilled at squeezing the trigger and propelling the RS4 Sport 3 to speeds over 113km/h (70mph) thanks to the Flux MMH-4000KV motor and waterproof FLUX EMH-3S LiPo-ready speed controller.

OFFICIALLY LICENSED UNIQUE AUDI SPORT REPLICA WHEELS

Not only is the e-tron one of our most ambitious and detailed bodies, our designers have captured every last detail, right down to the Quattro emblazoned racing wheels. Wrapped around these beauties is a set of treaded rubber tires 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!

RS4 SPORT 3: Ready to Race!

Underneath the detailed replica body is the Sport 3 chassis, the latest scale touring car chassis from HPI Racing! The HPI Sport 3 chassis features full-time 4WD, a completely sealed and highly efficient shaft drivetrain, coil-over shock absorbers plus waterproof electronics. The fully contained drivetrain means there are no exposed gears, belts or drivetrain parts to get stuck with rocks or dirt. The car is completely assembled and ready to run, so all you have to do is PLUG IN AND DRIVE!

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 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.

HPI FLUX TECHNOLOGY FOR ULTRA-FAST SPEEDS

What sets apart the Sport 3 Flux from our other offerings is the HPI Flux brushless power installed in every Flux-powered machine. The Sport 3 Flux is fitted with the awesome Flux MMH-4000 motor, one of our most powerful motors for 1/10th scale cars. Thanks to the robust Flux EMH-3S speed controller, you can strap in your choice of 2S or 3S LiPo power (or a 7.2v-8.4v NiMH battery with a Dean's plug) to give the car an unbelievable power out of the turns and speeds of up to 70mph (124km/h) on the straight, when using optional gearing!

3S Lipo Capable

The Sport 3 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.

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.

Sealed Shaft Drivetrain

The drivetrain of all the RS4 Sport 3 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.

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 Diffs

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.

Double-wishbone Fully Adjustable Suspension

The suspension of the 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.

Oil-Filled Threaded Shocks

The Sport 3 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.

Tough Front End Suspension

The Sport 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 Sport 3 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.

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!

Aluminum 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.
