This is from Kyosho web site, looks like it shouldn't be far away

Chassis has less flex and motor moved forward and new front and rear centre shafts.. Suitable I guess for high grip and developed for the worlds at Yatabe??

Interesting that they have moved the motor forward as I recently had the chance to compare my Rudebits DB4 to a ZX6. The biggest thing of note was that the motor was around 10mm forward on my DB4 compared with the ZX6.

Can anyone tell me if the Front and Rear Stiffener parts LAW52 & LAW53 listed above are new optional parts or just new spares just made available and same as in the kit?

Hey Martin, if you want to make the chassis stiffer for high grip a few of us at TORCH have been experimenting with using turnbuckles/ball ends to link the top of various transmission housings together.

It has the advantage that if you get a sudden shower you can pop them off to regain the natural flex of the stock chassis. In the example shown below I only have one at each end as I didn't have any turnbuckles long enough to link the slipper housing with the main part of the rear gearbox but ultimately I think you need two at each end to stop it from twisting as well.

Thanks Hotshot, that's a cool idea and I will bear that in mind for future experimentation.

Is that front shock top protector available as an option or did you make it yourself, I could do with one of those.

It's a home-made item, if I remember rightly I used the front part of a RudeBits R1 wing (the vertical portion you normally cut off and throw away).

Cool, looks good too.
