i really need help figuring out what tires i should purchase for my rs4 EVO +3. my x patterns are worn to the foam and im worry d that my rims are to get damaged. but when i went to my LHQ to look for tires i couldn't believe it costs almost 50$ for 4 tires without rims. i don't mind spending the money if there good and if its totally necessary to get them.

the store also had a package of 4 rims with glued on tires for 28$. but i don't no if there any good. should i buy Foam tires instead? it looks like there cheaper and offer more grip.
how much should i spend if i race in front of store parking lots and transit lots?

Hey I like foams and the HPI radial slicks depending on the quality of the surface I'm on -The foams are a bit more delicate to say the leastcheckout hpi on tower or for foams I get mine at Kamikaze R Racing http://kamikazetoysandhobbies.com/products.php?cat=9

It just makes you want to say doh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I was turning the nobs the wrong direction. I think i was making the motor too lean. Thank you for helping me figure it out. It making the right noise.

Best place for wheels is stormer hobbies just type in 24 or 26 mm tires you can make uo a set for about 12.00 for for tires and rims the 24 mm will also work on your car

I have a new slide carb OS .18 and I need to see pictures on how to set up the linkage. I've tried to install the linkage kit from HPI but there's no way I can see how to get it to work without binding. If anyone as instructions or close up pictures on how they did theirs, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'll try to get pictures later, but if you go back in this thread you'll see it. I don't think you can use the HPI set because that set I believe is designed for the RS42 or Super RS4. They are belt drive and the setup is different.

Im pretty sure in the hpr rs4 kit instuction manuel they have both versions in there

bronx boy

Look for the ss version manuel

The factory installed engine (in my case RS4 Type SS .12 HPI engine) for this car comes with a rotary carb. If you will be switching to a slide carb, the stock rotary linkages will not work. From my experience as I switched to a slide carb set up (.15 OS CV-R 10ER Slide Carb), I just purchased a few extra hardwares. I tried the HPI slide carb linkage kit but is was not working as I have expected, so I took a different route.

I'll post some pics within the day.

I used the the linkage that came with my SS kit for my slide carb. Just rotate your carb on the engine, that will help some too.
Sorry. this is the best picture I have, I would take more for you but the car is torn apart right now.

I'd go ahead and get the normal slide carb linkage. Doesn't cost much. This is what I used on my RS4. I didn't have to turn the carb on mine. But thats going to depend more on the engine than the carb. I've noticed that people using an engine with sg crank and slide carb usually have to rotate the carb. My engine had a regular shaft with slide carb and I didn't need to turn it.

i have a rs4 3 evo that i bought used last year. the motor was always giving me trouble and finally jus crapped out on me. i was wondering if anyone could help me out there. i am lookin for a good motor to replace the one i have without any huge mods to the car. i love the car. here are a few pics of it

You can get a T3 shipped for less than a hundred bucks. I have one coming in for my used RS4 3. The car was perfect, I don't think the guy drove it for more than a gallon. It came in th eoriginal box with the original body untouched, two other cool bodies and was perfectly clean without scratches for 130 shipped. I canned the T3 because he put a bump starter on it and cut part of the backplate.

Hey guys!

I can buy a brand new OS18CVRX motor for $50 locally. Only thing is, its a slide carb, not rotary. Is there a way to make a slide carb work? If not, should I buy the motor anyway and just get a new carb for it?

mcf

Thanks for the help, I used the SS manuals optional slide setup.

I picked up the motor today for $40 without the slide carb.

I found and purchased a rotary carb on ebay for $18.50, brand new.


Now that I have the motor and the carb on order, which engine mount will work?

Will this work?

Id rather the purple one instead of those small silver ones.

nitro-rob

Thats a great price for the CV-RX, does whoever sold it to you have more at that price and will they ship? If I could get them for that price I would buy two.

No, he only had the one. He bought it for a project car and he never finished it, so he didnt need the motor anymore.

ok i need a little help. i ordered the wrong engine for rs4 3 evo. i got the g3.0 in stead of the t3.0 my bad. but i am wondering if there is any way to use this engine and if so what will i need.

bobsp1

I am after a little help from any-one with some knowledge of the 18ss engine. I bought a sad second-hand one , knowing it needed a piston and liner.
I have a new piston and liner, wrist pin, retainers etc and a blank backplate for starter box use.
The problem is I dont know the shim size that fits under the head. It is listed as HPI 1795 gasket set, but they are discontinued and I have searched and emailed all over the place with no luck.
Does anybody know if there is an alternative or the dimensions so I can make one.

jenfre

Wich HPI engine is the best between the G3.0 and the T3.0 ?? any differences ?
