Yeah, I already have aluminum rear hubs and we have yet to bust anything on the suspension...but since I am using the carbon graphite
front arms as rear arms aswell, I think I need to stiffen the rear a little more. The rear hubs still seem to squirm around too much for my liking.
I was running teamcrc outlaw foams 30mm front/ 35mm rear.
Car was planted but rear tires started to chunk within an hour.
The fronts lasted much better (35 shore f+r).
I just ordered some 1/8 foam adaptors and want to see how
on road front 1:10/1:8 on-road foam tires would make the car handle. The club we race at is open on the size of the foams we run.
Hopefully they will still fit under Status body I am running (7416).
GQ products makes bot touring foams and 1:8/1:10 on-road foams
too...
I like low gearing for the short staits and early shifting into second as well as powering thru corners. The track we are running is too short for any taller gearing as increased top speed is useless.
A little harder to control but very fast car as long as suspension is hooked. I am using a Kyosho steel brake from the mp6 and braking
is fantastic with no fade. Had to glue them and I use the optional firm
Kyosho brake pads.
This car was originally setup to run OS .18 cvr. VERY fast engine and now that I have the .12 engine, I think handling should be even better
Spring cant come too soon now!!!
I also just ordered some ceramic nitride bearings. Hopefully the drivetrain will run a little smoother. What about using aluminum
mip cvd bones from the rs4 pro2?? They are the same length as the
rs4-3 mip dogbones. Maybe this would lighten the drivetrain a little...

And with the motor you have you are geared too low. Get a higher gearing in there. Acceleration isnt much of a concern with a plant like that with how small of the ratio change is. Also the final drive in the RS4's is quite low geared like 2.97:1 I think.
I was running the #3 pistons (teflon) with 60 weight fluid all around. the shocks on the car are beautiful, the aluminum body super shocks, vented hats, MIP Blue silicone o-rings, stiff bladders, Ti Nitride shafts, and the Proceed spings. very hot looking. and bullet proof. Never had one leak or get air in it.
One ways are good only if you have a consistent high grip track, and know how to drive the car fast without front brakes. Its a bit different feeling for the car. I dont know many people who run front one ways much at all since you loose brake'n quite a bit.
