Finally got a motor for my r40. Got the car last x-mas, and got an .18 cv-r with the starter box and a cheap pipe and header just last week. Finished breaking it in, and the thing just screams off the line. I get 4 wheel burn outs. Handles great. Way better than my rs4 3 and N4tec.
I just bash, thats why I bought an .18. also it was cheap at $89

for bashing with the r40 get spare belts. Also u should check out 3 racing's 4mm chassi to stiffen up the car if ur not looking to race. Its about $30 i think.

The stock clutch is a Centax. HPI calls it a "Center Force" but if you look at the design you can see that it is a Centax styled clutch. Your clutch is fully adjustable. It may be slipping because its out of adjustment as a result of some wear.

Yeah that .18 CVR is more meant for trucks....so yeah watch out for the torque guys. Your gonna tear up the tires I bet.
Im looking to get something nasty for my racer2...but not sure what. Im going to definently get back into bashing with that thing...its such a great drive in the street.
Im also modifying my other cv-r right now...im hoping for some cool gains from the motor. The cv-r is easy to mod. Lots of thick metal thats hasnt really been shaped at all.
