RE: OFFICIAL RS4 RTR 3 thread!!!!!!!Also type SS and others

i would stay clear of the gpm rod ends. one of mine (front left camber) broke after on a few tanks of fuel- the end result was a destroyed dog bone, axle cup (drives the wheel from the dog bone), and...

RE: OFFICIAL RS4 RTR 3 thread!!!!!!!Also type SS and others

i figured out what the problem was tonight. the gear mesh was off- the pinion was being jammed too far into the diff housing, throwing the mesh off. the spur gear inside the diff housing was all...

they are the same size. i noticed that the gear casting looked different when i was putting the ball diff together. i counted teeth on the drive side- and they were the same. i am sure something has...

RE: OFFICIAL RS4 RTR 3 thread!!!!!!!Also type SS and others

nope- it's a ball diff, not a one-way. a ball diff is something like a slipper clutch in an electric pan car. the same pinion coming into the gearbox powers the spur gear. there is a plastic...

i changed it to a ball diff 6-8 tanks of fuel ago. it was fine for a little while- last tank is when it started acting screwy. the car is an evo+

RE: OFFICIAL RS4 RTR 3 thread!!!!!!!Also type SS and others

the wheels will be turning fine, then all of a sudden they will start shudder/bind/somewhat lock up quickly, but only temporarily. it's mainly when i turn and only in the front end. you can tell...

RE: OFFICIAL RS4 RTR 3 thread!!!!!!!Also type SS and others

I'm having a bit of a problem.....I installed a front ball diff a couple of weeks ago. It worked very well for about 6-8 tanks of gas. Yesterday, I had the car out and the front end kept shuddering...

RE: OFFICIAL RS4 RTR 3 thread!!!!!!!Also type SS and others

what's the consensus on a good set of rubber tires? i drive on mainly asphalt and some concrete- pretty clean, but my no means prepped. i was happy with the grip of the standard x-radial tires that...

hahahahahaha- what, are you planning on borrowing the intercooler from your wicked-fast Honda CRX?

you fail to see the science/physics behind an intercooler. an intercooler will do absolutely no...

RE: OFFICIAL RS4 RTR 3 thread!!!!!!!Also type SS and others

Different forum, but the...

RE: OFFICIAL RS4 RTR 3 thread!!!!!!!Also type SS and others

RE: OFFICIAL RS4 RTR 3 thread!!!!!!!Also type SS and others
