Nice light kit on that shell, very simple yet cool. which light kit did you use? Im thinking of getting one for my shell. When your taking pics you need to turn on "macro mode" on your digicam and it will specially focus on close objects.
For my car i just took out the aluminium OS carby and replaced it with a composite carb. I should get a more consistent power since the fuel isnt getting heated up at the carb anymore. I also did a simple ingenius mod to my brakes, heaps better and consistent. I can show and tell

You should order a swallow 2 advance charger for around $90. Very good charger as you can charge ANYTHING aslong as you have the plugs for it
Also do the rear diff housing mod or use flyscreen if you dont want your belts to get chewed out and snap.

Nice dude nice... It just needs a new powerplant, that 15FE is a chicken mcnugget compared to the new engines these days. The series 2 are capable of higher top speeds than the rs4-3's

Thanks for the advise!...
Do I have to buy motor mounts in order to mount that engine?...
100 bucks is quiet expensive, slightly cheaper than I paid for the car... But, It's part of the hobby, isn't it?...
Thanks again!...

But yeah, you'll need the basic motor mounts to install the new engine.

You should order a swallow 2 advance charger for around $90. Very good charger as you can charge ANYTHING aslong as you have the plugs for it
Also do the rear diff housing mod or use flyscreen if you dont want your belts to get chewed out and snap.

What is the rear diff housing mod?

Compare the pic with your car and you can see where to cut. If you still are having problems with where exactly to cut, let me know and I will photoshop the image and show you exactly. However, I think the photos are self explanatory,
I hopw this helps.

No worries. I am not sure about the mini. However if they are a similiar set up. It might be worth it to do it to the mini as well. Not sure bout the layout though of the mini. Anyway the idea is to keep any rocks or debris getting in and chewing up your belts. With this mod, it allows the debris to flow right through the back or front which ever the case may be.

Here's an RS4 3 with a homemade dual exhaust. Sounds a little different, but works pretty well.
31mm rears, 26mm fronts, sways, 2 speed.
