The front bumpers are weak. Not the foam but the pieces holding the foam. I've consistently broken the lower bumper piece quite often. I recently replaced it with a piece I fabbed out of 1/4" thick Kydex which now is rock solid.

The upper bulkheads are weak also, hence the need for the aluminum upper bulkhead hop-up. The price difference between the stock plastic one and the aluminum one is HUGE. Its $8 for the plastic piece and $55 - $60 for the aluminum ones.

Parts delivery is not that great either. Overseas suppliers are about 2 weeks via registered mail. Wolf isn't much better either. I placed an order with them on a Tues and it won't ship until late Fri. Whereas other suppliers like Nexus Racing for XRay parts, I would place an order with them Wed. and it ships Wed. for me to receive by Fri. Wolf is in the same Timezone as me but Nexus which is faster is two Timezones away from me. Go figure.

Its got a little more steering than the two belt cars. Thats why its a monster in the in field. However its got more resistance in the drivetrain than the 2 belt cars so its not all that great on the straights.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be here if I didn't like the car or use the car. I would compare the E4 to a real car like a Saab. It nice looking and pricey when they're new. Those who have them love them. However, they don't sell well nor do they re-sell well either. Its a niche. If you like it, you can pick up a good one cheap. Like SlowE4's deal.

You can run the FS for both rubber (outdoor) or foam (indoor). Its all a matter of setup and the FS can be setup to do either.

I might pick it up to play with if he will ship to me. I wanted a jrxs to play with but this car is nicer looking. Our outdoor track looks avout 80x30. 10ft lanes but tight and technical. Im sure it couldnt be worse than my tc5 ha.

saw the pics on this page and something in my head just snapped to "MUST TO GET!"
I might look to buy a chassis next month if someone has an E4 they wanna get rid of. is there a thread comparing this car to the JRXSR?

I want to build another e4 to perfection.:blush::D the only thing is I want to redo all the aluminum in a different color. I was thinking green, or purple...??? Of coarse I need as much components to match as possible. What color scheme do you think would look the best on the E4?

no question its a nice car, but a lot more money than id like to spend for used.
If your still willing, id still like to get your rs.

I might get a upper bulkhead but i dont hit enough stuff now at high enough speed to need all aluminum parts. i was a complete noob this season with my tc5 and i havent broken a single peice of it yet.
unless the e4 parts are a lot weaker than associated, a stock e4 should be fine for 17.5.
