@@BoostedRC Hey BoostedRC 💯 I still prefer to run NiMH so, I’m using a 5cell aaa micro hump pack. They work perfect for the R40 and other build. Generally, they are lighter than most Lipos in their size range. There is a custom pack maker in the UK that I normally order them from - This R40 is a Hara edition so the install location is in a little different location than stock. What type of small packs do you currently use? - I appreciate you taking the time to write and for watchn’🩷

I picked up an r40 recently. Had an old marathon 1600 in it but shaped a little differently. 5cell.

@@BoostedRC Do you have the original lower chassis where the battery goes in the middle (from underneath)?

Hi and thank you for watching. The black box is the GNSS/GPS (Speed reading device). It allows you to monitor the speed, acceleration and more of the car. I hope that helps a bit. Do you run touring cars as well? I appreciate you taking the time to Hi 💜 Hola y gracias por mirar. El cuadro negro es el GNSS/GPS (dispositivo de lectura de velocidad). Te permite monitorear la velocidad, aceleración y más del auto. Espero que eso ayude un poco. ¿Conduces también turismos? Aprecio que te hayas tomado el tiempo para saludar. 💜

@@Thatbodytech It’s sad to hear that others have been seeing the same issues from the factory. I’m glad you figured out your issue and was able to fix it though 💯 - Like everything, we just need to have a little patience and we can keep these engines running healthy for a long time.

@@TastyBRC It’s a screamn’ little .12 (2.11cc) engine for sure. - I’m going to make a few changes and see if we can’t squeeze out a couple more MPH.

@@lyubennyagulov9012 I have ran the engine with 20 and 25% but not 16% so I’m not sure about that - I would have to measure the shim stack again to tell you for sure but, I think I’m running .3mm. Depending on shimming, the nitro % does affect power to a degree but, there is a working range. Shim stack-up with Nitro % changes could be a future vid topic 💯 - I’m glad you enjoyed the vid and thank you for taking the time to write 🩷

@@richardbrown6762 Hey Richard. Thanks for Watchn’ 🩷 Rubber tires maybe an ok option for the parking lot (Depending) but, for the longer runs, foams are definitely the way to go. - Having shore, width options and turning the foams to the diameter I want, is pretty important. In saying that, these were pre-use foams and had a little smaller dia. I bet I could have gotten another mph or so out of the car with a fresh pair. Well maybe next time 😋 Everyone has their experiences and preferences for sure. I have learn over the many years that for my suspension set-ups and majority of places I run, foams are king (I have tried a lot of different things over the years). Rubber may work better where you run 🤷🏻‍♂️ so, I’m defiantly not discounting your exp Thanks for taking the time to write and have a great day 💯

@@tegamckinney Hey Tega‼️ I really glad you enjoyed the vid and I always appreciate the support 🩷 Some different/custom drivetrain components would be needed for sure. - The R40 is a solid platform to build a formal speed run car but it is also heavy. There is always going to be trade offs to which chassis you choose. In additional what engine you choose. .12s can have a lot of RPM but, at times do not have enough displacement to power through to higher speeds. Counter to that, larger displacement engines may have the torque but may not get the rpm you need to be really fast. It’s all a balancing act between gearing, rolling resistance, power, aero, etc - On of my many personal goals for my speed formal speed run car is to only use a small block. Anything over 3.0/.18 is a not consider a small block. Somewhere in the future, I’ll discuss my formal speed run car and what I have been able to do/not do. - It takes a lot of work to get over 65+ on a 1/10 touring car with a small block. My personal speed goal would be to get to 100+ but a lot goes into it (one step at a time). Simply finding a location to support the speed is one thing lol let alone build the car to support it. The whole process is a fun challenge to work toward

@@allaspectsrc4178 Thanks AllAspects 💯 I’m glad you enjoyed the vid An on road speed challenge would be interesting but, would need some formal rules to be made. - Speeds over 65+mph mark with a small block and 1/10 touring car is challenging but, also fun to try. Each additional 10mph is a big accomplished. I have a lot of personal rules/challenges for myself to adhere to. I’m still working toward them and enjoying the process. I’ll chat about all of that at some point in the future. I’m looking forward to seeing some more vids on your Integra touring cars ‼️ - I appreciate you watchn’🩷

@@AllInRc1971 That’s awesome you have fallen in love with the RS4s. That is an easy thing to do lol - I agree, parts can harder to get at time but, well worth it. Grab them when you can. I appreciate you taking the time to write and for watchn’ 🩷

@@a2rc it's the 3.3 model but I'm going to put a 2.5 in it. I'd rather have good handling instead of max speed . Your R40 looks like it handles surprisingly well 👍 for a 1/10 scale.

@@michaelgraham2943 Yep, I love the 1/10 Touring class for cars. This R40 only has a 2.11cc Engine (The 12TZ would be considered the top of the line “club race” engine - right before the formal race “OS Speed” line) - I total get you putting the 2.5 in the 4Tec. I know it’s not the exact same engine but, I personably think the OS 15CV-R has a great balance of power for the a 1/10 chassis. Yes, we can have and I do have other RS4s with bigger displacement engines but, some seem to have more power than needed (if that makes sense).

@@alexistorres8825 Hey thanks for Watchn’ and taking the time to write 🩷 It can be difficult to find parts at times and these awesome vintage cars do fall into the “pay to play” environment but, they are 100% worth it ‼️ - If you have an opportunity to pick up a whole car that’s in good shape for a good price then, I would jump on it. The cost you save on the whole car will help you when you need parts or want to upgrade certain hop-ups. A lot of folks just keep an eye out and grab something when it becomes available.
