You fit a GS Storm hinge pin brace onto the DI? Direct fit? Is it just a simple plate with 2 holes like what bender has on the front or an intricate design that I won't be able to hacksaw up?

Da_cookie_monst,
How about the pinions and spurs and other gears? Not more than usual wear on them?

For those who say NAY to CF chassis, there is your answer right there eventhough it wasn't quite as major and quite "double" as I thought they would be (I myself don't know who KM Concept are). The steering servo placement is quite interesting and I don't know if that is going to work or not because the attack angle for the servo saver linkage would've been too close to the main shaft. That is like TB01 de ja vu all over again (with the steering linkage grinding onto the main shaft.

i really don' like it ..........i can't understand why KM has developed this CF chassis for the dark impact.....the original design is ignored.......i think that nobody has developed a similar cassis for a B4 buggy ....so i can't see why is necessary for the DF-03......hope that tamiya (and square,3racing...) will realease some plastic/graphite chassis for this buggy and some carbon fiber and alu stuff like pivot,bulkead and towers.....

You can bet that Tamiya will release a graphite tub, it's just a question of when
