    Status: offline     		The Dynamite Torque-Start?

    I have the OS .18CV-RX with the stock flywheel.

    That one right there.
    http://h1070313.hobbyshopnow.com/products/description.asp?prod=HPIA863
    These engine mounts.

    All I had to do to the Torque-Start was remove the black plate on the front. All it really needs is the back one to keep the vehicle straight.

    Fairly easy to work out. However, it didn't run on 2 stick packs. I had to use a mini-generator and the 12v car battery things.
    Works just fine.

    Status: offline     		the one I'm looking to pick up is the dynamite quickfire. i have the same engine mounts and i believe the pullstart flywheel that i have is the same size as the stock flywheel. plus i also have the os .18 cv-r. I was worried that the starterbox flywheel wouldn't reach the engine flywheel. i know thats theoretically why the make the smaller engine mounts. good to hear it works that way. surprising though that two stick packs wasn't strong enough to start it. ill just have to wait and see what kind of condition it is when he brings it to the next hobbyshop race.

    Status: offline     		I have a question that I was wondering if someone could answer. I have a RS4 EVO+ and I recently purchased the front one-way diff for it. I noticed that the bevel gear on the one-way is slightly larger than the gear that came with the car.

    The problem I am having is it seems the new one-way diff is rubbing inside the differential housing. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Could someone offer some advice as to what I can do?

    Thanks.

    I notice HPI also make slicks with shore numbers but they cost twice as much as the M slicks

    Status: offline     		ehh, slicks arent good to use on nitros no matter what company. They need a lot of heating up, and still lack traction. They are good for drifting i heard.

    Or you're comparing to foams?

    Status: offline     		Just ordered the HPI Nitro RS4 3 Drift RTR. I'm looking to find an exhaust upgrade, and maybe some carbon fiber. Does anyone else have one of these? If so, where can you find upgrades?

    Status: offline     		Foams (for my size wheels/tyres) are really hard to find and really expensive
    So rubber is the only choice I have really
    And, the really grippy slicks from HPI are twice as much as the M compound slicks
    I of course have no idea how grippy any of these are. I just know that my Tamiya slicks aren't really that grippy. In fact they are just a bit better than the rally block tyres I had for the car before
