The car is 3 years old, and its not a sprint. It is the Rs4 sport. It has a carbon fiber chassis, and shock towers.

Okay, where does the battery lay on the sprint? However, either way will the YOK motor be compatible for my car?

if your original motor was a 540 size can any 540 can will work. for drifting most people use a 19t and some use a 21t- 27t. i prefer my 17x2t motor. you have to find out what you like best.
