For sure I recommend:
- Associated (or other but good brand) ball studs all aorund (yes, a lot of money but worth).
- Zx-s steering unicrank (kyosho 39655) with ball bearing
- At least the front aluminium arm bracket LA-30
- Some good threaded shocks
- Hex screws ..
Things nice to have:
- Titanium turnbuckle
- Lazer Zx-5 CVDs (LA232 65,5 in the front using the wide configuration, LA245 62,5 in the front/rear but you may need the LA231-02 ends)
At the moment I'm running the car on high grip carpet with the gear diffs and I still have to find a good solution for the slipper.
If I will have the chance of running the car over a different surface I will probably use the pure ten diffs (Kyosho 39506).
By the way, some parts are still available at Kyosho Italy ( www.kyosho.it) but the prices are totally crazy ....
Especially :
- 39655
- 39506
- W-5061
- W-5063

Ema,
Hex screws, Zx-s steering unicrank and associated ball studs, am I rubbing off on you?
Slipper solution mate, I have it for carpet so if your running a ZXR MK1 or MK2 slipper or Hyper clutch slipper this is the technique. Hold the car flat to the deck on the carpet (with mini pin yellows attached) set the slipper loose before you start so it slips, keep tightening it gradually until you feel the slipper is slipping (the slipper makes a rough noise!) but at the same time trying to pull away even though your holding it hard to the floor. Thats it! This works for carpet with gear diffs (which I filled to the brim with a medium grease) or ball diffs set with zero slip.
Also make sure that the one way is free and not tight.
