4tec or RS4?

Thinking about getting a car to terrorize my neighbors with and was curious which way to go.

personally I would go with the rs4. I have owned the 4 Tec and it's crap.

I completely agree, I have had my RS4 3 since they first came out with the RTR3, and it has been a great car. I would go with the RS4 over the 4 tec.

Theres many upgrades for the rs4
Never seen a 4tec do 100mph
Shafts are easier to change out than belts

Go with the Rs4

That's what SHE said!

but seriously I would go with the RS4. Easier to work on and is just going to hold up better.

Doesn't the ntc3 have plastic ring and pinion?

The diff is some weird nylon or plastic of some sort.. most of the parts are cheap and its been in production so long... u can upgrade as much as u wanna spend. I've been replacing broken parts with titanium and carbon fiber for cheap as the plastic and steel.. depends on if its a rtr or t4 kit or what ur into.. I can't find any reason that I would get something different unless I went bigger

But no it has.. (mine has 2 aluminum pinion gears) 2 plastic spur gears.. I guess its plastic. Plastic's are pretty tough these days... I guess I thought I saw diff gear instead of pinion but I have no more trouble with either other than normal wear... or the one pole in the parking lot that seems to have a magnetic pull on my car
