Get loud, get wild, go out in style with the RTR Nitro 3 Drift! The smoking coolness of the RTR Nitro 3 gets the total drift treatment with an all-new drift design that makes the car ideal for full-throttle power drifting! This is the easiest way to get into the awesome world of nitro drifting!



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!

When you’re ready to take your drifting to the next level, a huge amount of hot performance options are available also, including: titanium drift springs, different compounds of drifting tyres, lightweight woven graphite shock towers and chassis parts, plus racing performance parts like a one-way diff and spool!

The Nitro 3 Drift is a fun, exciting car that is made for the wild and crazy exhibitionist in every RC enthusiast. With cool and authentic custom looks and the ability to completely upgrade it to full grip race spec, you can take this machine from the street to the track in no time!

The HPI team takes part in full-size drift events around the world, showing import car fans and newcomers to the RC hobby just how much fun they can have with 1/10th scale model cars! By demonstrating up close and personal the graceful sweeps and arcs of the cars across the race track, we are able to show everyone who passes by the joys of drifting, RC competition and the amazing scale detail that goes into every HPI & Hot Bodies kit.

Every Nitro 3 Drift features a fully assembled car with a completely painted and detailed bodyshell. Correctly trimmed and with decals already applied, you are ready for near-instant drift carnage on the race track!

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.
