My first nitro on-road... - Mr. Tune - 07-15-2004 I am now the proud owner of a Nitro RS4 3 EVO. I bought it last night and began break-in and initial tune right away. I idled it the first 2 tanks and drove around slow for tanks 3 & 4 to further brake in the motor and break in the brakes, diffs, and everything else. Some where between tanks 5 & 6 (don't remember which one) I hit something in the road (still don't know what the hell it was but it tore up the bumper a tad) that sent the car at full speed into the air. I didn't have the body on, so at least I didn't mess that up too. The result was a messed up steering servo and 2 fins braking off of the motor . The car now likes to torque steer to the left at full throttle from a standing stop. Other than that, this car is fun as hell to drive, and fast too! I can't wait to race it at a real racetrack. I'll have some pictures up later today. My first nitro on-road... - Mr. Tune - 07-15-2004 Here go some pics... My first nitro on-road... - SixVi6-Camaro - 07-15-2004 Ouch that must have ben a hit to knock fins off the head likt that. Looks good RS4 3's are a great general purpose on road. RAcing bashing they will do it all. My first nitro on-road... - snakebite46 - 07-15-2004 Yeah when I had my RS4 3 SS, I put that thing threw rought times......
