The last time I tried it, I had too much grip and I couldn't get the car to keep weight forward enough to turn on power. I didn't spend much time working with it because we had a big race coming up and I thought it would be better to run what I knew versus trying to figure something out during the race program. I ordered a set of 3 line axles with the 62.5 bones to try out. I have plenty of 65.5 bones if I need to switch them out.
Do you have a part number for these longer axles?

um510-02. I recommend getting the axles only. I bought the axles with the bones and the 62.5 bones are just too short.

I worked on my setup this last weekend and raced both Friday and Saturday. By Saturday, the car felt better than it ever had for me. I ended up going back to the inside hole on the old arms with the long eyelets and 26.5 droop. I really like the 3 line axle setup.

What does toe all do. I see so many different set ups c in d in so on. I know what makes what degree but what's that translate in to.

I have been having sort of the same question lately. When looking at the chart, it would appear that different options of the inserts offer the same degree of toe; for example, B-in + B-in = 3.0 degrees and D-in + D-in = 3.0 degrees. I used the B-in + B-in on my buggy since it would seem to offer the most options to easily change the toe while still using the "in" blocks (up to 4.0 degrees). Most setups I see use C-in or D-in for both, however. Does that really make a difference?

It translates to toe in and track width and it make a huge difference. When you use the same pill front and back the toe in will be 3' but at different widths. D-in/D-in is narrow and D-out/D-out is wide. In general narrow locks in the rear and wide helps it rotate. Hope this helps.

Correct....however, what I'm asking is, is there a difference between using D-in/D-in vs. using B-in/B-in?

Both are 3 degrees of toe, so no difference in the toe in for either. Mainly a pivot/track width difference/feel. Depending on how you want the car to feel/react would be the biggest difference in which one you'd want to run, B-in/B-in or D-in/D-in.

About 1.5mm in hinge pin pivot width between the two if I measured it out right.

It translates to wider track width. The complete rear end is more narrow or wider without changing toe.

The transmission ratio is 2.6 to 1. Same for rear, mid, 3 or 4 gear.

Anyone know of a rear shock shaft that's the same as RB6? Just found a bent one and hoping to race tomorrow. Nobody around here carries Kyosho. Might have to try to straighten it....

If I had to guess,
Possibly sometime after the worlds. Kyosho doesn't always get some stuff designed and produced quickly, albeit, there could be times when they should. But the time line is just a guess on my part. Who knows, they could have things already done up and ready to go and just not telling anyone so they can debut the stuff at the worlds. Just a thought.
