Maybe its because you have to copy and paste it into your email provider.:thumbsup::lol::lol::lol::wtf::wtf:
|
I'm still confused by this, is the worlds spec and factory spec the same car, or two different ones??

The World spec is very different, lots changed on it, including chassis, top plate, many alloy parts (whole rear end), steering, shell, also where the turnbuckles attach is now completely different. World Spec has substantially changed from the BX and Factory BX, it's pretty much a different car (hence the price of the upgrade kit) and I like it. Nice to be different as well, however means there is very little help with ‘setting it up’, pretty sure I was running the only BX Worlds at the last national event, real shame as it’s a lovely bit of kit, I 'hear' its not as well suited to UK style of tracks but for someone of my ability I don't notice and I think its a great car.:) |
Thanks for the info, does anywhere except Champ have them do you know?
And is the worlds available as a stand alone kit? Cheers, Dave Not really worried about suitability, I keep seeing Stan do so well with his XXX4 that I think it has to be way more down to the fingers anyway!! |
Hi Dave, the world spec is available as both an 'upgrade kit' (if you have a standard BX already) or as a complete car 'BX worlds' spec kit.
I only know you can get them from RC_Champ, not sure if anyone else is selling them. |
Cheers, what are parts supplies like for the car by the way, and is there an English manual?

is rc champ any good i havnt tried it my internet is slow at the moment |
Maybe the sentence yo quoted will give you a hint vinny:eh?:
|
PMSL :lol:
|
Only dealt with them once Vinny, not the cheapest as they charge credit card/paypal fee's and the shipping is more than other places I've used. Also don't muck them about, I believe if you cancel an order with them then they won't let you order anything from them in the future!
HOWEVER, they were friendly, easy to deal with, very helpful, and delivery was really quick, so as long as you bear in mind the above I'd recommend them! Dave |
P.S. Anyone know the part number of the stand alone worlds kit?
|
cheers dave:D
|
Just looked, there's a place on Ebay with 5 of them, £320 plus £30ish shipping!

Dave i thought you have just bought an x5 :confused:
|
Yep, but I have loads of kits of buggy's and tourers lying round, if I sell loads of stuff tempted to try one of these too! Try everything and keep the ones I like!!
With Yok though, what are spares like to get hold of? Any funnies with it, like needing different wheels to anything else etc? |
I don’t understand that ebay seller, why put loads of images of the old BX on the page, seems very misleading and confusing?
The image on the box is correct but all the other images are showing the standard BX, I would ask the question ‘which car am I getting’ before you order, make sure you’re getting the right car. This is what it should look like, but note I've added the blue alloy rear wing mounts and Ti screws. http://www.oople.com/forums/showpost.php?p=92411&postcount=27 I order my 'world spec' spares from ChampRC, some parts are the same as the standard BX which helps as you can still get these in the UK. The rear Yokomo wheels use a hex but you can take the hex off and use standard wheels. Re: English manual... not found one yet, but I have the old BX manual in english and its pretty easy to work out. |
Hi Bathy,
Already spoken to the Ebay place, and they sent me separate pics of the box, it is the worlds spec (or the boxes say so anyway!) and the correct part number. I complete agree its mad they use images of the standard car instead though!! |
For info:
Champ is about £50 cheaper than the ebay place, but the ebay place claims theirs comes with an English manual. Did yours have import duty added Bathy, or do Champs kits normally not incur it? And would someone just working with the Japanese manual stand a chance? |
there's a nice one for sale on ebay uk, or there was last night:thumbsup:

Are you going 100% Associated Gareth?

In terms of spares for the worlds spec, does it use the same wishbones/castor blocks/uprights/steering spindles as the standard/factory kits?
And does anyone have part numbers for the worlds spec shock towers? |
Quote:
|
Hi all, i have both standard BX and world.
The shock towers are different but arms/caster blocks/spindles are the same. For daveG28, front shock tower is BX017CW and rear BX018CW. |
Cheers mate!
How do you find the 2 cars? |
hi dave,
I had really enjoyed the original BX with the UK upsidedown rear mod and the 0,5 rear hub, it make the car very stable. I can't compare it with the BXW because i have only raced once and the conditions was totally different (wet and muddy track) and it keeps on raining in france until now. But i found the bxw easier for accessiing to the diffs and maintenance. And in my point of view, i found the bxw prettier...:D |
Hi Again,
Do you have a full parts list for the BX worlds? One disadvantage of the Japanese instructions, I can use the images to put the car together but have no idea what part numbers are for ordering spares! Also, does anyone know what size diff balls thekit takes, and what material the standard car comes with for diff balls? I always like to use carbide where possible! |
Answered my own questions on the diff balls!
I bought graphite spare bits (arms?/uprights etc) I assume the kit doesn't have these parts as standard, but does anyone know for sure? |
Quote:
I broke a load of front shock towers on the standard BX (most people seem to double them up), hoping the worlds ones last longer, not broken one yet, again maybe I should double them up. Diff balls, they are 3/32 size yup? |
