I'd already got the bleeder caps for the shocks before the V2s were announced so will be sticking with the originals too! But MK Racing delivered the new slipper to me yesterday so they are available

Also as I already have a ghea 3.5 degree rear block, I don't feel the need for the new rear hubs at the moment. Driveshafts, I have heatshrink over where the pins are so not worried about the new ones.

In an ideal world I'd buy the new car, but I think I'll be buying bits at a time to replace broken or worn out parts!

new .5 degree rear hubs = 9865
v2 slipper spring = 7486
v2 slipper hubs = 7485
30 degree caster blocks = 7922
rear chassis plate = 9818
chassis = 9560 (same part number as old one)
rear shock tower = 9572 (same part number as old one)
front shock tower = 9568 (same part number as old one)
clear gear cover = 7461

Bored now, got the parts off www.rc10.com use the support and downloads link and choose B4.1, then scroll down and the FT manual is there!

You are right - not everyone can afford that extra to buy a kit but if your car is inreal good condition then it must be worth lets say £80 odd then it's not a big difference to find.
Also can be done in a stage by stage way as stated but this would be more expensive.
Lastly, I am not sure that is the right part number for the gear cover - I think you will find that 7460 is black and 7461 is clear BUT NOT the new glas type one. - I may be wrong but it's my nderstanding before someone orders and it is wrong - please chack before ordering as we all make errors
Cheers all for now - off to paint a real car in the most gorgeous Ruby Black metallic (BMW colour) Mmmm!!!!
