FS2 SP on the way?
 
For starters, for example Amainhobbies has removed FS2 from their site, and a few sites have listed FS2 as "discontinued".

According to this post an FS2 SP is coming in a couple of months.

Time to start guessing the spec for the car? :wub

Big bores? Carbon top deck? Bulldog body? No more blue aluminum?

Deffo Biog bores.

Doubtful on top deck.

Maybe new body.

All sounds good!! Lets just hope the Yen devalues some more so Kyosho kit gets more affordable!!

Top deck might be doubtful, but since the car is apparently way too soft without it for some tracks, it should at least be an optional hopup. :thumbsup:

Yeah i heard the same... September time apparently...

"The Bigbore damper, the new slipperclutch, and the aluminum battery post are attached. The colors of the aluminum parts are changed to the gunmetal. "

:thumbsup:

Upgrade
 
Wonder if they will bring out an upgrade kit.

/tobys 04-08-2011 09:25 AM

whats the new slipper clutch Nick?

njc11 04-08-2011 10:54 AM

The usual by Kyosho would be the upgrade kit then a kit...

But considering there might be quite alot of little changes, mainly the colours of the alloy parts it may just come as a kit only??

As for the slipper clutch i asked the question and they didnt know...

At the worlds i assume they were running the slipper clutch found in the FS2... someone who was at the worlds could maybe confirm that?

by looking at the pics from euros, on redrc, tebo´s car match the things you guys describe.. pics here (first 6 pics)
top deck, gun metal, battery posts.. etc.. looks kinda cool tbh. :)

anyone know about the "droop thingy" on the rear suspention arm that can be seen on this pic? what does it do?

as standard? :o

NitroArgi 06-08-2011 08:00 PM

I don't know about that...but I have seen the new hubs

Something strange about manufactures wanting to ad more moving weight out to the wheels??? Stupid in every aspect. All moving parts in the suspension benefits from being as light as possible. That large bearing does not help on that matter. So hopefully same size in and out.

tisher 06-08-2011 08:45 PM

still looks like the front wishbones are being filed down:eh?:

DaveG28 07-08-2011 04:52 PM

What was behind the whole larger outer bearing thing?

More durable. Or I might remember it entirely wrong.

West Ridge Racing 07-08-2011 06:16 PM

More durable was one argumet yes and it was said to bring more stability or something. Just more moving mass in my opinion.

NitroArgi 07-08-2011 07:05 PM

The old hubs were made by another company as a tuning option and Kyosho just add them to the optionals of the car...new hubs with same sizw bearings are Kyosho items

They figured after yesting that same bearings in and out feel more consistent all the time especially in 2wd.....details...:bored:
