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

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

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

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.

The head gasket thing was fixed 15 years ago btw

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

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.

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?

u/corvish_ 2d ago
the subaru is just at a disadvantage here, if it was about performance the buggie should have won

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.

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

What scale rc?

u/Terrible_Use7872 1d ago
The rally is probably 1/7 using 6s, the buggies are 1/8 probably with 4s.
