i know stock motors are generally lacking, but i would like to know if anyone here has specs on the engine in terms of hp, rpm and possible top speed with stock gearing.....

The G4s rtr i think has set the standard for on road nitro rtr's, if the onroad sport is to surge ahead of the dirt dudes and bashers... Think of it...an ifmar approved rtr with kit quality parts within a package! This factored in with economies of scale could present a higher quality experience to new folks while keeping it within reasonable cost!

what yall think?

ferrarimk13

i agree, but i dont think nitro onroad will ever get to where nitro offroad, and electric on road are. Thats why the G4 RTR doesnt sell well, because people either want a strong basher, like the rs4, or an all out racer, with those valuable upgrades like graphite, and titanium

The stock motor may seem weak (non-turbo .12), but in my opinion it lacks nothing besides a good pipe. I ran my G4S over the weekend and kicked the pants off a few evolvas (yeah 1/8 scale big boys) and V-0ne RRRs. The car''s handling is insane, i''m the same speed as the evolvas (picco .21) on the straight aways, faster going into the corners, my disavantage is exiting corners with the evolvas (their extra wide rear-end clearly). Wow, i can''t believe a little 1/10 car could be this good!!

ferrarimk13

hold your horses bud, theres no way the G4S RTR can beat an 1/8 racer, or a top of the line 1/10. it might be fast, but not faster.

charlieboy

I''m telling you dude its that good..........

Cypriot Boy

well the guys there might not be that good!! in my track i can beat the 1/8 intermidiate group with my 1/10 team magic

wolfhobbies

We could sure use you in the US!

Cypriot Boy

too bad i am in cyprus!!

Thats a great price whats the cost with shipping?? i think you may need to change the body to a sedan body if and when you buy it. The lola bodies are not allowed
for most 1/10 racing ie if you plan to race!

TRINI-LUCIAN

there is a special on... $15 shipped to us $5 if by regular mail... i am still deciding.. i budgeted for later this year or early next to buy me a kit and i am caught between the team magic G4RS and the Xray NT1... for the sake of attention to detail and parts technology. I plan on getting a futaba 3PM fasst 2.4 radio gear and futaba digital metal gear servos which i can use in the mean time... on my fw05T plus... which is caught up with shipment [sm=48_48.gif]also some tools etc...
oh not to forget the chargers, set up board set up blocks...
THis is gonna be real expensive lol

Cypriot Boy

well in this case go with the G4RS, i like it due to the fact that its is well thought and the part are excellent, they dont break easily. you wont regret it!![)]

wolfhobbies

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that parts are readily available from www.wolfhobbies.com. The G4 RTR is a great kit and it appears you have found a good sale.

Have fun!

ferrarimk13

honestly, everyone knows im a huge TM fan, but i have to say the NT1 is the best out there at this moment, and you cant go wrong with it. The Hudys know their stuff

Cypriot Boy

well was too knowing that the NT1 had the edge but i am starting to question there performance, since they were not that fast in my track, and very good drivers were racing them. well anyway a great driver is changing his from TM to Xray, and i will able to see the difference.

TRINI-LUCIAN

hey ferrari youre brave sayin such...but honestly this weekend at my club a guy with an NT1 lapped...even second place...some guys got lapped three times... sorry to say a lola was involved and other team magic kits....the guy has some skill but something is just not right...then i figured it out...having support from the company in the form of website forums...dispensing set up theory and knowledge was the factor...especially when the cars at this level are so evenly matched.
out of the box i have seen the performance of the nt1 but what i want is to see, maybe drive , a well set up TM and then an NT1, then compare...im sure that gap would be quite narrow...

redferndesign

I've got a couple of questions I'm hoping you all can answer for me. I just bought the G4S RTR kit directly from TM.

First of all, it's super nice - but there were some issues when the kit arrived. Firstly, the K Factory pipe shown on the box and on the website, is not on the car. It was replaced with a cheap black pipe. When I asked them about it, I got a response like 3 days later with some song and dance about the new pipe being an "upgrade", believe me that thing is no upgrade.

After some back and forth they said to mail back the black pipe, and they would send back the K Factory pipe. Like I've got 2 weeks to wait for the new pipe. I thought, because it was obviously bad advertising, they should just send me the pipe. But no luck, so I just used the cheap one and stayed mad.

After that I realized the rear belt tensioner is completely missing from the car. Like they forgot to put it on. Same thing with the front center body post, just missing.

Finally, if that's not enough, the brake set-up was WAAAAY off as was the front toe and camber settings. The toe angle was like +5, or some crazy angle.

Have any of you experienced this kind of thing with TM before. I love the car, but geez, I'm kind of scared that this is just a sample of the bad service yet to come.

Cypriot Boy

dont worry!!! you didnt get a kit, that it would be in excellent condition but an RTR. let me tell you that in the RTR there are many things missing, just like that!! i was to thinking in getting the RTR but got the RS. as for the pipe, well... what can i say, they can change and modify any part of the car without telling you, it happens.
also TRINI-LUCIAN the think with lapping everyone happens a lot. i was too going to be laped by the number one NT1 but hanged on for the sake of not being laped!! i could win the NT1 easily, but had an engine problem.....

Osirisf16

Engine problem? Like? I heard that Novarossis are hard to tune. Did you find a spot of what is going on?

Cypriot Boy

the problem was that the low speed needle was too rich and had no power in the low RPMs so every time i tryied to push, the rear end spined out due to lack of power, oh well!!! and as for tuning is not that hard but ok!!

Osirisf16

Ok, i didn't say too hard. Is just matter of experience [)]
