    After it was all said and done, I've had excellent steering response from them. Almost touchy.

    Status: offline     		I think I figured out a solution to our lundsford problem.In the "set" for the Rs4 3 their is 4 one inch turnbuckles and two really long ones and two really short ones.I used the two really long ones to replace the steering rod and servo rod and got two extra 1 inch turnbuckles for the read tie rods.It would have been cheaper just to buy them seperatly or get another kind like AE or GPM but now I know and so do you.

    Status: offline     		Are turn buckles worth it? they seem so hasslish.. I like the idea that hpi just gave us some plastic parts.. snap them on.. and voila.. they are the same distance.. no need to measure.. etc etc..

    Status: offline     		Mine kept popping off too. I was going to just get ball cups also, but I decided to get the turnbuckles then because I figured I was going to get them eventually, so I just killed two birds.........

    Status: offline     		Well I was at work and found this web site and read all the notes , ideas and look at the posted photos and could not wait to get home and register and pos replies. I like the forum.

    About the fule tank, I have replaced the stock tank (bottom feed, primer puump) with a top feeder, no primer pump. and have had better luck. I am here in Texas and when running in the 100 + heat on black tops and racing on parking lot race track you get fule foaming and boiling which will cause air bubbles in the fuel feed line causing the car to stop running ! Cured it.

    I have modified the suspention so that:
    1) the rod ends DO NOT POP OFF (front and rear)
    2) the toe and camber can be set
    3) the tie rods and steering links have hemis on both ends that can not pop loose.
