I didn't swap the shafts, just the cups from the front to back. shafts stay the same.

Finished the linkage for the brake swap and the slide carb, was a little tricky but it's all perfect now!

That looks good. Why not swapping your break/throttle servo around so you can get link for your break.

Then the throttle linkage would be so short I probably couldn't put the spring on it lol.
Came out perfect as pictured

Ok. I did mine and it's coming out good. I went to my LHS and purchases a throttle link set for a savage and it comes with the throttle, break and throttle return spring. Well the break link is long enough. Longer than what you have but not too long, just perfect to be able to use 1in of fuel tube.

Now what I have to do is cut the carbon fibber off. I also had to move my servo at an angle so the disk break won't cut the wireing from the steering servo.

That small plastic part that I said mines open at a 135 degree angle, well it comes with the straight piece too.

I don't know how you came up with this bit I think that it's a great idea. Some if the rear weight is now moved toward the front.

Yea it works well now.
Glad you got it figured out!
I did it only to fit the big block in there but the weight is a plus.
I just got the exhaust finished I used a savage header it fits perfect with my CVEC drag pipe.

NEED HELP!

Just started racing my RS4 3 Evo+, I'm racing on asphalt. I keep spinning out coming off turns and sometimes during straight ways. My setup is carbon fiber shocks with stock shocks and shock oil. Im running the hpi x-pattern rubber tires (I have nitro shoes coming in 42 front and 40 rear). What can I do to improve handling as far as shock oil, angle of shocks, springs, etc. Please help. Thanks.

Have you locked your front differential? Does your front diff have the lock spring in it?

Mark sure You do hace that spring inside the diff so your wheel can lock a bit more and to improve the locking of your front wheels add diff lock grease.

I'm using 80w shock oil for high speed runs but I normally use 40f 35r I think. Springs are purple front and I think it's pink in rear. Lock at my pictures so you can see the exact colors.

I ran my car today with that front break set up and I thing it gives me a smoother breaking than it did before. It's pretty awesome. Make sure you post up some pics with that BEAST running.

No I havent locked the front differential. I will take it apart and see. Should the lock spring come stock with the car or is it a mod. Thanks for the input I appreciate it. Ive always been a street basher so I dont have real experience in fine tunning the suspension. I will try out your suggestions. The springs you're refereing to are HPI make? Ive checked for HPI pink and havent found it online. Are there any other makes you recommend. How are the Tamiya springs that come in a set of three?

I don't know about tamiya. I would think that some pretty stiff springs are needed because the rs4 3 is a pretty heavy car.

I was testing out the car yesterday this CVEC pipe is a nightmare to tune.
I only got to 84mph before it started sounding weird and boggy and stopped pulling I may just throw a regular tune pipe on but then I need a different body. damn.

I just purchased some sway bars. What combination of colors are you guys using. Whats the advantage of having it stiffer on one end compared to the other. Thanks.

I believe that the stiffest should go on the back. So when you take a turn the rear tire doesnt lift up on the air and it's always compressed down onto the road.

In real cars, you want stiff on the front and less stiff in the rear... If you put more stiff in the rear, you will over-steer...

Both sound right to me. I thought by stiffining the rear then the rear of the car will be more planted to the ground especially during turns thus preventing spin outs which is my biggest concern.

Incase I flip the car the zip ties take most of the damage, which has already happend 3 times.
And I won't be able to find a replacement head for that engine.

Sway bars:

Ok the way they work, when you come to a turn, no matter how sharp our car will lean to the opposite side that you are turning. Right? With the sway bars it pushed down on both wheels so when you come to a turn the other tire will not lose contact to the ground and will be pushed down ward too.

If you put I. The sway bars and remove the shocks you will be able to see how it works. So there I do believe that the stiffer one goes to the front scence the front tire is the one that goes up in the air. You will be able to tell if you take a pic will the car is speeding at a turn.

Zip ties are to protect the engine if the car were to flip upside down.

Fdjizm. Where do you get those wheels?

They are RC4LESS dirt oval foams in 45 shore.

http://www.rc4less.com/product_info.php?cPath=4&products_id=27&osCsid=2fdd6874cc3cda3b966e208a607436dd

I cut them down to 24mm, though.
You just take off the hexes and drill out the hole with a reamer just a bit and they slide right on the pin.
