Best Way To Hit 75MPH In a RS4?

[Rex2342]

I've gotten my Rs4-3 Type SS to go 60 with a 23/19 pinion and 37/41 spur combo and a Fantom 03 Fr15 with slide carb.The problem with the Rs4-3 is that this gear combo is as good as it gets.HPI simply doesn't make anymore gears for this car.I've tried jumping 6 teeth to get better acceleration without sacrificing top speed but it stripped the gears everytime it shifted so I stick with a 4 tooth gap between gears.It's possible that with some better bearings ,a $300 engine, and maybe a Wolfpack 2 speed you might be able to get a few more MPH but IMHO it's not worth the extra cash.High Speed runs are fun but are more for bragging rights than anything else.

They don't make different clutchbell combos, you buy the 1st and 2nd pinions seperately...

19T / 23T

The red pinions are the tallest you can get. The purples (stock) have one tooth less and the golds have 2 teeth less than those red ones.
