    Status: offline     		Has anybody installed a slide carb on their rs4 3? Does it work or did you have to make any mods?

    How about engine, you guys that has changed over to a no-pull start engine, what motor mounts have you used and does it fit well? My exhaust pipe with stock exhaust manifold rubs against the chassis. Not good.

    the stock stuff is crap like many other things on the rs4. on the dynamite products page i think the polished one will fit your car.

    Status: offline     		the rs4 3 engine is on the otherside of the chassis as opposed to a previous edition rs4. Look at the link that you posted and visualize the way that that will have to fit. It won't fit onto an rs4 3 chassis. There aren't many if any aftermarket side-exhaust manifolds for the nitro RS4 3 that I have seen.

    Status: offline     		Aggdaddy is right the Rs4 3 chassis is setup reallt strange compared to alot of others.I've had a few different tuned pipes on mine andthe pressure fitting is alway up side down on the pipe.Get the THS pipe/header set that was designed for the Rs4 3 and you won't be disapointed.I have it on mine and it's the best pipe i've had and if fit right so I didn't have to modifie anything.

    Aggdaddy......
    I have a slide carb on my Rs4 3 SS and I had to buy the slide linkage kit from HPI and I had to turn the carb a little bit to make it work right i'll post a pic in a minute so you can see what I mean.

    cool .. thanks for the info. Actually I used that little plastic piece that HPI suggested in the manual but I turned my throttle servo around to get a more direct push/pull effect onto the slide carb throttle. But I had to custom bend a piece of piano wire for the brake linkage. Hpi manual sucks in this regard.

    THS pipe header? Is that available through Tower Hobbies?
