Now that you guys mentioned the No Power Problem; I now have the same problem. (but I have the Brushed Motor version)
-Never gotten the chassis and electronics wet.
-I only run it for no more than 5-Minute runs.
-I let the electronics cool-down for 20-minutes after every run.
-I use the Futaba 3PV.
It was running well at first. Then it stopped. It will run for 5-35 seconds then stop. This will happen over and over.
-the ESC stopped making the confirmation -On- beeps
-the ESC still Flashes when on the Throttle - Trigger and Brake
-the Servo still steers(left and right)
It could be the ESC or the Reciever being incompatible with the ESC. . . . .?. . .( Time to go Brushless.....?)

It was the Motor's positive wire that was the problem. Tested it; and everything works likes normal. Now it has to be re-soldered to the motor.
-Not going Brushless with the RS4 Sport 3 yet.

Couple questions. Picked up a sport 3 drift brz.
What size tires and wheels work on this. Also, what size bodies fit? The stock body is paper thin so I don't see it lasting long lol. Thank you.

- I use 26mm Wheels. (you can use 24 or 26mm wheels and tires. You'll have to find the right offset wheels to match the width of the body.
- I run with a 190mm Body on my RS4 Sport 3.

Touring car bodies are different from off road bodies. Usually much thinner and lighter. A heavy body will effect how it drives. Despite this they hold up well. While crashes happen. It's not like an off road body need to survive roof landings. I switched from the Porsche body, which is very heavy, to the Subaru body before I sold mine.

What offset wheels do I need on the rs4 sport 3? I have the brz body so the front and rear offset I believe is the same.
I picked up a few sets of 26mm 12/mm hex tamiya wheels and they don’t fit. (Inner wheel hits the hub).

Hey Cudacharger; nice chassis. Those aftermarket upgrades look shiny. Do they lower your lap-time?(they should...?)

Hi, I am looking for a new chassis which is durable and not complex to replace my current TT02 so I find Rs4 Sport 3 is interesting.
Does it have any problem with a completed stock? I really don't want to spend on anything more that this( upgraded part etc.). It is the reason why I want to change the chassis, TT02 is unreliable to me, I feel like I have to upgrade everything in order to play it without worrying.
I like to play on street and dirt sometime so I can't have the touring chassis or it will need to be modded which is quite complicate. Also I live in the north of Thailand where the weather is wet and lots of rain but Rs4 Sport 3 comes with waterproof electronic set. What do you guys think?
