Great...keep the faith
I just put in a NovaRossi RR12L3 1.54hp@ 40,800rpm
killer motor so far but not fully tuned in.
I got the HotBodies centax clutch but I have not installed it yet
I have the NTC3 3-shoe flywheel/shoes and they wok great so far.
The wolkpack 2-speed works 100 time better than the HPI junker!!!
I too am using the proceed 1/8 springs with the black "medium" front
and red "soft" for rear. My car looks much like yours with woven graphite shock tires. I got the woven graphite front arms on both the front and rear to make
the wheelbase a full 260mm. All the HPI bodies now fit without magor surgery
aswell as easily using a rear exhaust engine.
My son will be parking lot racing with this car next spring and I think it can be competative. The car is setup more for acceleration as I am using 43/39 spurs
and 17/21 pinions.
Should I get some ball diffs?? I really do like the low maintenace so far
from the gear diffs and I think ball diffs would not give any advantage for
the short parking lot type racing that we will be running next year.
I am using the HPI sway bars but I think they are crap. I wish there was a way
to fit blade type sway bars so i could tune the suspension a little more.
Even with these crappy sway bars, the threaded shocks more than make up for
it as the car really corners like its on rails once its setup correctly.
and most of all...the car is solid like a rock!!!
Fantastic durability so far. Yes all of thoe "pro" cars are better but
hopping up this rs4-3 to make it faster has been grat so far. I think I am
going into my third g-note and thats without getting any great electronic
stuff yet...
Next week i get my digital camera and I will show you some pics.
I painted my car just like the black status you had as I think that was an
outstanding color combo!!!
