That is awesome. I've got the same car, but it's the 18ss kit version. I run a body on mine with a OS 18 TZ. I've had the radar up to 60. I know you said you'd keep the gearing top secret lol, but wondering what you thought about locking the diff? Trying to get past the 60 mark

I know I've seen a picture around here if your pinion gear.

What kind of speeds will you hit if you use HPI red second pinion gear and a 37 spur

Locking any differential will not make the car have a faster top speed.

That would be a serious downgrade actually, I am way past that gearing I would go like 65 with that. lol

I have to make tiny adjustments the whole time yes but it keeps pretty straight under high speed.

I don't think a locked diff will do anything for me, no need.

Where did you get your foam tires and wheels from? I think thats what im going to order next. I just dont know where to get it. Do they get better traction then the rubber tires?

Its a different setup. has springs holding header and pipe together.

All you will need is rubber coupler and zip ties

To be honest, I would not spend that much money on a novarossi engine to put in a rs4. Best bet is to sell the car and buy a kit that can handle that power. Ps the os cvr is a beast on the rs4

Any novarossi .21 made in the last 5 years should do, but you want to get it modified for more power.
I used RB mods in the past good work!, I modify most of my engines but didn't want to take a chance with this flash 21 since it was expensive.
