Ive clocked my rs4 @ 78km/h (not sure what that is on mph) with a radar gun using stock engine/gearing with JACO foam tyres on 20%nitro. A fair amount of custom mods and drivetrain hop-ups have been installed. Ive tried to keep as much stock parts as possible.





Sorry for the pics, theyre bad phone quality and abit outdated.

They are drift rims > Kawada VX's with 4mm offsets. I got this set cheap from Japan for about US$13

Status: offline 		Hey dudes. The 18ss should go 50mph/80k stock. so i cant say how much faster the new engine ( for the euro market) will go but the T3.0 engine has a higher output so even tho both engines ( 18ss & T3 ) say 50 out of the box/stock, the T3 Should be able to go WAY faster. But when it comes down to gearing. both engine should be hitting 60+ mph/ 96.56+ kph.

Hey i like the sound of rs4 elite

Status: offline 		Im very interested in the new hpi engine so i can hit at least 60mph with tall gearing on 25%nitro.

My friends serpent710 w/ a mega zx12 was clocked at 63+mph and i would like to get even with him one day without spending too much money since im not a racer, just a daily street basher.

Status: offline 		Aside from new motor and gearing, what would be the next item to upgrade? I have a RS4 RTR 3 and want to upgrade badly. I’m not too big in to the all aluminum thing, ideas?

Performance wise airfilter, fuel filter, racing clutch and titanium shafts would be a good start

For looking good i suggest a new shell, rims or maybe nice colored fuel lines and titanium screws

so many things you can upgrade or add-on.. too many to list actually

Status: offline 		thanks dude, nothing special with the beamer shell. Today, i just cut out part of the side windows and make it look like its winded down for more cooling

umm i cant really see the pic, you might wanna repost. A tuned pipe is a good investment, youll notice alot more power. Stock ball ends are fine in my opinion. Although he stock turnbuckles are fixed and you cant really set the camber that accurately. You can get the HPI turnbuckle set #72222 or the purple ones #72223. You should be able to grab them for around US$10 at the right places
