    Status: offline     		hey, u guys think that graphite from ebay (Brake) will actually work?
    is that hole thing graphite? because to me it seems like it would slip and heat up more than break.
    What are your thoughts??

    also... has anyone tried to make a brake pad at home?

    heyy mike!! hows it been. ehh, the TZ has been giving me problems, through a tank, it keeps changing its tune, and even when its perfect, the motor begins to idle to high or too low, never even but ill figure it out. Youre running offroad nitro? racing?

    Status: offline     		sorry to hear about the TZ it sounds like it could be a couple of things to me,try emailing OS for support they answered my Q's for me,unfortunately they told me direct impact between concrete and engines at w.o.t = new engine lmao.

    i totalled the 18CVR into a storm water drain, cooling head 1st on my buggy so im re-using the 15 cxp.its a piece of u know what but what can i do, the CT4-S is rear exhaust not side so i could'nt swap it over.

    im looking to get a 1/8th buggy so i can do some racing, nothing to serious just socially and also some bashing on a local BMX track. i run the 1/10th there but its a little to small on the big hits and it takes a beating lol.

    Status: offline     		ssynikkal, thanks man. Just what I needed a fresh nice chrome pipe. By the way, love your car. It is clean especially the wheel and fuel line. How much is it for those fuel lines?

    A big question, anybody knows where I can get a Fantom FR18 engine? I really want one.

    I was doing research for different types of .18 engines and came to a conclusion about the best small block motor for the RS4 (standard plugs). I found out that any .18 engine made for the tmaxx is extremely fast. Hint: Sirio .18, Fantom .18, Diablo .18, Team Orion .18, and many other. These engines are discontinued though. Pop any of these into your RS4 and watch it fly. I read up on a forum and some guy was not recommending these engines because he said that they were too fast. Personally, nothing can be too fast even though I almost wetted myself when I first got my Diablo .18 running. Also, I heard a lot of bad things about these engines made for the tmaxx. To be honest, most of these engines are made from the same manufacturers and are very reliable. I love these engines and wish they never discontinue it. Best engines for the RS4.
