An update from the HPI engineers: The gearing chart on the inside back page of the RS4 Rally manual is incomplete.

The simplest solution is to use a silicon-based glue or sealant such as Shoe Goo (available in the USA) or a silicon sealant such as windshield or aquarium sealer (from an auto supply or pet supply store). Assemble the hinge pin according to the manual, then . This holds the pin in place and is easy to remove when you need to adjust the wheelbase or take the car apart. HINGE PINS apply a small
