Default .18 CV-RX?

Im gonna put [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGGP7&P=0]this[/link] Os .18CV-RX into my Rs4 3 EVo. First i need to know if this is the right one? Also can i use the stock flywheel, clutchbell, clutch assembly, and roto start backplate? For the engine too work do i need to buy anything apart from [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXN373&P=M]these[/link] engine mounts?

Oh sorry forgot about that, its going into an RS4 3 EVO. Will the clutch, clutchbell, flywheel, and roto-start from my old T-15 work with this? and is there anything else i need besides those engine mounts? Also is that the right ersion for the RS4 becuase there are a few different types

get this one http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXGGP6&P=ML an this for the slide carb setup http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCXF8&P=7 slide carbs are soo much better, yes the flywheel and clutch will work just fine, but i dont think the roto start will, you dont need it anyways since it has a pull start, mine started on the first pull today

the main rule of pull starts is just dont pull them out too far, thats it, OS pull starts are quite durable, havent had a problem with mine so far, as long as you dont over prime it then it should start up within the first 3 pulls

No Need.. The Roto Start for the HPI T-15 fits it perfectly.. so just get the HPI rotostart for the .15 - .18 HPI engines and you are good to go!

I already have the Purple pinion gears (stock) the yellow ones (low-end power) and red ones (top end power). When i put in the OS should ii change the gears or stick with the stock ones?
