Sorry for late reply.

No you don't need to buy the rs4 parts as well, the sprint1 part will work alone, although I seemed to recall having to swap out the bearings to fit the shaft and stock sprint 2 steering arms. I can do some better pictures if you still need them.

But I was wondering if the Nitro RS4 3 steering assembly will also work:

The eBay listing is from someone in the US, so I'd get it faster. Just want to make sure they're the same in terms of fitment.

That review on asiatees was from me, but I can confirm it works as the pics should show earlier in the thread. The rs4 parts used are the shims, bearings, standoff and ackerman rather than the actual bellcrank arms which are too long but you can use all those bits to make it without the sprint1 parts.

Sorry its a bit vague, if you still need help let me know and I will try get some better pics and explanations up.

Oh and I know people are always asking for a lipo that fits without any modding and I thought I would post these as so far I have really liked them as they have a decent c rating, and good weight in a hardcase as well as 4200mah for £26. Not ROAR approved however
