It didn't get anywhere near the aftermarket love the Nitro MT got. You could build a Nitro MT from 100% aftermarket parts. It was crazy.

And unfortunately, almost none of the Nitro MT parts fit the RS4 MT.
Eh. It got it's fair share. Luckily, it shared a good number of parts with the RS4 Pro/Pro 2/Sport/Sport 3, so it got some of their aftermarket support as well... Bulkheads, ball diffs/one ways, C-hubs and front/rear hub carriers, entire rear bulkhead assembly, etc. You could even fit HPI's old 2-speed on it. It also got the RRP top shaft, purple anodized turnbuckles, and the shiny CVDs you mentioned.
