new too rc need an answer

[newbie1]

I'm new too rc and I've just purchased Nitro RS4 RTR 3 EVO+ w/ Fujitsubo HPI Impreza Body now is there a difference in the evo 3 and the evo 3 +? or are they the same thing

Also I've done research on this and in forums I've heard this car does 35 then i here it does 50 can anyone help me with figuring this out? and is the car worth keeping or should i just sell it once i get it in the mail?

I'm looking for an all around fast car that allows tuning to make it have a high top speed or if i want to adjust it for acceleration and torque.

as you can tell I'm new too this, and any info will help me. I would greatly appreciate this

NEWBIE1 thanks

all the + means is it has alot of upgrades compared to the standard model

Cool that's what I thought it seems like its a great car for a beginner anyone agree. IT will get here tmw so I will be breaking it in all day.

Does any one know what kinda upgrades i should do automatically?

for upgrades I'm trying to figure that out myself .. so far i am upgrading my shock mounts and rear pivot block to aluminum.. seem to brake the plastic and graphite ones pretty easy

Hey Newbie1
I started with an RS4. It is an excellent starter car, it is relatively reliable and fast enough for a beginner with out being erratic. However I would not change any parts out for hop ups until they break, but thats my own opinion. The parts are extremely easy to find.
You should have some great fun with that car I hope you enjoy it and welcome to the hobby.

P.S. I would change the hex adapters for the wheels to alloy ASAP just to avoid help stripping the hex adapator and the wheel.

the hex adapter? is that the part that looks like a bolt(hexagon) that locks the wheel into the axle?

word. well i got the car and broke it in an drove it today but i guess a rock pop up and hit my fly wheel and its got a noticeable scratch in it and when my car is idling it sounds like it catches and shuts off i bought a new fly wheel for 5 bucks so I am gonna replace it.

wondering if there's something could do to keep this from happening the whole is rather small under the chassis where the fly wheel is could i just cover this with a peice of duck tape to prevent it from happening again? does this sound good
