@@a2rc That’s good to hear. I’ve always been curious on top speed on one of those. Especially since I’ve read somewhere that car has hit 100mph. Which is crazy fast. 💨 No new builds yet. I have the Ntc3 which I clocked at 75mph with a 9 port. I also have the cts 5.0 which I’ve gotten up to 82mph with a .32 5port. I might flip the engines I’m sure the ct5 with the novarossi 9 port should get me close to 90mph if not more. Both engines modded. Thanks for the video and response. Hope to see more videos.
@@Bang_n_slang There have been a handful of people to have the belted RS4 go 100+. 112 or 114mph I think is the fastest run on a belted RS4 with a small block which, I agree is nuts. Now I do have to say, I’m not sure the method of capturing the speed is as accurate as using a GNSS, for example. So, I have my suspensions. Also, I have yet to see the car without a body on. - Mainly, the 1/10 cars get a big block out on it and/or larger tires, etc but, I kinda see that as cheating lol. Mi goal is to keep it a 1/10 if that makes sense and develop speed with it - Anything 50+ is quick and anything 70+ is going pretty darn fast. Reaching 90+ is pretty epic, especially for a nitro I’m taking it 10mph at a time with the speed run car. In my opinion, there isn’t much to talk about until I have some real/fast enough numbers to discuss. At some point in the future, I will discuss the speed run car, show it, talk about its features and speeds but, for now we have a lot of other fun topics and adventures to have Thanks again for writing back.

Thank you for the kind words and for the great questions! 💯 - The front bearings inner shield removed before it was installed in the engine (it had its initial assembly grease/lube in it). The assembly lube later gets washed out from the engine running and then relies on the fuel for its lubrication (once washed out, it helps to lower rotational resistance) You can watch the OS 15CVR engine build here: th-cam.com/video/_T_vYbsmiao/w-d-xo.html Here is a fun short that shows some of the before and after mods on the sleeve.

I need something to measure speed. I have everything geared towards high speed, and i even have the Dual Chamber Exhaust for Mid to High-end speed on my Nitro Slash. I wonder what my max speed is for my Nitro Slash?
The GNSS systems are what I would recommend. The Traxxas system has been tested and is not really accurate I’m not sure what the average/max speed is for the slash but, it really comes down to gearing. If you happen to get a GPS, I would love to hear what kind of speeds you are getting. Thanks for watchn’ 🩷
Ok, thanks, man. I might order the Dynamite GPS from Horizon Hobby. But, it is $100 bucks, and I have to velcro the GPS on my Nitro Slash. I will let you know when I do some speed runs when it warms up. Plus, I need the GPS. I also have a backpack leaf blower to blow the sand of the roadway.
@@shawnblock7335 Yep, especially for the belted cars, blowing off the road is important. - The dynamite system is good but, the GNSS is really user friendly, has more features and is a little cheaper. Just my thoughts on that.

Always try to purchase bearings from trusted retailers/brands. Sometimes, you just have to try them out for yourself, to see if they are worth the price. Thank you very much for watchn' 💜
I need something to measure speed. I have everything geared towards high speed, and i even have the Dual Chamber Exhaust for Mid to High-end speed on my Nitro Slash. I wonder what my max speed is for my Nitro Slash?
The GNSS systems are what I would recommend. The Traxxas system has been tested and is not really accurate
I’m not sure what the average/max speed is for the slash but, it really comes down to gearing. If you happen to get a GPS, I would love to hear what kind of speeds you are getting.
Thanks for watchn’ 🩷
Ok, thanks, man. I might order the Dynamite GPS from Horizon Hobby. But, it is $100 bucks, and I have to velcro the GPS on my Nitro Slash. I will let you know when I do some speed runs when it warms up. Plus, I need the GPS. I also have a backpack leaf blower to blow the sand of the roadway.
@@shawnblock7335 Yep, especially for the belted cars, blowing off the road is important.
- The dynamite system is good but, the GNSS is really user friendly, has more features and is a little cheaper. Just my thoughts on that.
Ok, I've never heard of GNSS? Where do I find that product. Should i just Google GNSS on Google???
We do indeed have a belted Rs4, in this case the RS4 Super nitro from Hpi
@@robinmilanvanpelt Awesome‼️
@@a2rcI bought the r40 hara edition! Brand new in the box! Videos to follow! 🙌🏻
@ That’s awesome news!
I just showed our son your videos, he loved it! Unfortunately he just doesn’t speak English 😂But the images told enough 🙌🏻
@ I appreciate you guys watching in whatever way you can. 🩷
I have always wondered if the you tube subtitles work well enough?
I have the old belt drive rs4 with a cvr15 and a 2 speed transmission and mine runs a bit over 50mph 😁
That’s awesome ‼️ It’s always great to know there are other vintage Nitro Touring Fans out there
- Keep her running if you can. 🩷 I appreciate you watchn’ and taking the time to write
No, but I wish I could find one
WAIT ONE SECOND - HOW DO YOU DO THAT!?! You expertly parked the car up, just like I can do, but you pulled out a wrench to adjust the 2 speed!?! I want to do that! Please make a dummy's guide video for me on that subject :) Please exchange our knowledge together . . .
LoL. I love your energy ‼️
- Everything just comes from the years of experience with these awesome cars.
I like to use the old/discontinued Red handled 2mm Bondhaus drivers for the 2 Speeds. The are slim and perfect for that job. 💯
- I will try and help you and anyone who would like it. I glad you liked the vid and enjoy learning along the way.
When we take the Purple RS4 out again, I’ll talk a little bit more about how I adjust the speed speed, etc. I think that’s what you are looking for?
- Unless a shorted dedicated vid on adjustments would help? Let me know your thoughts
I appreciate you and everyone for watchn’ 🩷
I love having a real aluminum exhaust pipe on my Nitro R/C's.
Those plastic ones are ugly. I have the dual chamber exhaust for my T-MAXX Classic. The plastic exhaust on the T-MAXX Classic looks so horrible that you can see how it's molded.
I agree. The plastic ones to the job but, a proper metal tune pipe can make the engine perform so much better ‼️
Ya for sure.
Anyone out there want to buy one of these? Got a nice one on the shelf I never drive, can ship
Really enjoyed the video. 💪🏼💪🏼🤙👏👏🫡
That’s great and very happy to hear 🩷
