Looking for offers on the G4 Mongoose, with starter box. I'll take any reasonable offer on the four engines.

Yes, remove the rubber spacers and you will find 1 to 2mm space.

I dont know anyone who uses the rubber vibration insulators, leave em out.

Do not remove the Rubber spacers, ensure you have the brass inserts as well

I never use to use those rubber grommets, but found that the screws would damage the plastic tabs on the servos. So i try and use them as much as possible to extend the life of the servos if i can...

We used to love our g4 and G4RSs, and we thought that they were awesome; but the truth is probably that you'd be better off with a later model car now. We have changed, and we're not looking back; but you could perhaps still be competitive in one if you're good enough.

Kindest regards,
Lars.

[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Blue"]A hopped-up G-4 Mongoose is still a very good race car. I have had 200mm sedans since the HPI RS4, then on to the NTC3. When I signed up with Trinity to race the Team Reflex car, I thought it was the best car on earth. Then the G-4 showed up, Damn,it blew them away. I still have parts boxes of spares for the RS4, and the NTC3. The G-4 Mongoose is a KILLER 200mm sedan with the right set-up, and engine. I have retired from racing 200mm sedans, and have my car up for sale, at a VERY nice price . The Picco XP-R .12, tuned pipe, servos, hop-ups, spare parts, NEW Ofna starting box, and NEW foam tires are worth $1,400.00. I am willing to sell it, for less than the price of a new kit chassis. I live in S Florida and some of my friends have opened an IN-DOOR, off-road, short course track, that is air-conditioned, SWEET, and I can leave my gear in a locker. That is much better than having to pull a trailer behind my truck, and race all over the country in very crummy HOT WEATHER conditions. If you are wanting a 200mm sedan, email me for the deal of your life.SIZE]

After some days of thinking i came to conclusion of:
-The front diff of the RRR should fit the G4,but i don't have one to test.K-factory One way fits both RRR and G4 and front and rear diff are the same on the G4 sooo....

Dont have those brass inserts. Only the rubber ones, and when i removed them the servo fit. It didnt when i had them on.
But what negative effect comes with not having them mounted?
