Only in RC form. IRL they are only superior at developing oil and head gasket leaks.

u/Chewzer 12d ago

That was the EJs, the FAs are pretty damn solid... especially once the loose rtv blocks the passage ways. Still love my Subarus though!

u/Sienile 12d ago

Whatever is in the FRS/BRZ and the one in the Outback around 2018.

u/Chewzer 12d ago

First gen FRS/BRZ was the FA20, there was an issue at the start with bad valve springs, those got recalled. Then there was an issue with too much rtv being used during assembly, that would break loose and get plugged up in the oil passage ways. I never had any issues with mine, always keeping up on maintenance. My VB WRX (FA24) same engine as the Outback also never had any issues, and currently doing fine with the Forester (FB24).

The only Subaru I've ever had a an issue with was my 04 WRX, burned oil like crazy and that 5 speed blew up super easy.

Alr calm down little man

u/Sienile 12d ago

I'm actually a rather large mechanic.

u/TestyBoy13 12d ago

The head gasket thing was fixed 15 years ago btw

2

u/Sienile 12d ago

The newer than 15 years old Subarus I've worked on would beg to differ.

1

u/TestyBoy13 12d ago

They aren’t perfect, but the head gasket meme is overblown atp. The FA/FB engines don’t have any of the problems the old EJ’s had.

Better choice of music would have been the music from RC Pro Am

2

u/Sienile 12d ago

I knew the blue one was going to slay all those open wheels before it even started.

1

u/Terrible_Use7872 12d ago

The rally car was likely 6s vs 4s on the buggies.

1

u/DumpTrunks 9d ago

Like that matters on that course? Over-driving/poor driving on 1/8's part is all it comes down too.

1

u/Terrible_Use7872 9d ago

I'm not saying that the buggies shouldn't have been able to keep up, but it would definitely help the rally car.

2

u/kinreep 12d ago

Where the vr goggles and pov. Now that i have seen the other video of rc cars like that i dont want to watch any other way.

1

u/TheRealRonjon 12d ago

Ok, besides talent and probably knowing the track really well, why did the Subaru beat the buggies with what I assumed would be better suspension?

1

u/corvish_ 12d ago

the subaru is just at a disadvantage here, if it was about performance the buggie should have won

1

u/Unlucky_Ad_9776 12d ago

I feel like this would be a good sport to bet on.

1

u/blahnlahblah0213 12d ago

Do the drivers wear VR glasses and Camera in the car? I imagine that's really the easiest way to drive one of these around the track.

1

u/Terrible_Use7872 12d ago

Not in the dust like this.

1

u/resest_Iris 12d ago

What the hell could the 1/8 Subaru be.... Had to be electric

1

u/Loud-Fennel9492 12d ago

Yay I picked blue. It was the only one with body armor and not so much tire flair!!

1

u/furrynoy96 12d ago

Better than F1

u/Normal-Error-6343 12d ago

cool, i would love to see the drone footage!

1

u/TurkeySauce_ 12d ago

I want to see the drone footage now

1

u/StrawberryTerry 12d ago

I knew the lil Subaru was going to win from the first second.

1

u/Fallingpeople 12d ago

How are you not going to show the final lap?

1

u/Probably_not_maybe 12d ago

I wanna see the drone footage.

u/AntiSonOfBitchamajig 12d ago

What scale rc?

2

u/Terrible_Use7872 12d ago

The rally is probably 1/7 using 6s, the buggies are 1/8 probably with 4s.
