Hey guys - I tried to search the thread for an answer, but didn't find anything, so here it goes...
Does anyone have problems with the front suspension mount bending or wearing out? It seems like I have to replace this part quite often, along with the front hinge pin brace due to bending. I did get the newer version of the hinge pin brace, and it's been good for awhile, but the front suspension mount seems to move or stretch out. I'm not crashing (lol) so I'm not sure what the problem is. Does anyone make an aluminum one yet?

I have been making some tools for kyosho cars for a couple months now and would love to share them with as many kyosho drivers as possible. The first tool is a kyosho shock tool for removing the shock cartridge, its a great replacement for the one that comes with the kit and strips out easly. It costs $12 in the u.s and 15 overseas. the second tool s a turn buckle wrench that has three sizes on it. the one side has 2 sizes in it that fit the kyosho turnbuckles as well as the lundsford and ae turnbuckle. it will also fit durangos and any car with a 4mm turmbuckle. the other side is 5.5mm and fits all kyosho 10th scale trucks, the losi 4wd sc and some 8th scale vehicles This wrench is $17 in the u.s. and $19 for over seas. if any of you are interested please email me at [email protected] as i am not always on the forums. thank you for your time and i hope to be able to provide some of you some great tools..

Most of you using the stock red o-rings in the shocks or the clear x-rings?

I haven't had an issue with either the stock red o-rings, or the clear x-rings. BUt, I decided to try the traxxas blue x-rings and they feel every bit as good, and work every bit as good as these two kyosho options, and they are dirt cheap. None of them leak, and none of them stick... Can't go wrong with any of these options I think.

I run lunsford everything on my cars... I run a full set of lunsford ball studs, turnbuckles, AND fatboy motor screws (best money I have spent in RC). I did some weighing of the turnbuckles, and you save about 4 or 5 grams total. (wasn't a very accurate scale though) Add in the ballstuds, and I bet you are at 6. So not a big difference, but it all adds up. If weight is an issue, that is the combo I would run (all lunsford). If strength and reliability is your goal, I would run lunsford ballstuds, and the stock turnbuckles. Even though the stock turnbuckles are a tad heavier, they are a bit stronger.
The best way to save weight, is use a light speedo (i run an lrp sxxv2), a shorty lipo (-100gr), and a lopro servo (-10gr)

I put on the lunsford turnbuckles with the ballcups. Just ordered the shorty lipo and running the team orion r10Pro. The servo is a Futaba BLS451 which is 58 grams. Just thinking the only other thing to do is the ballstuds but noticed that Lunsford does not have the kit for them. Looks like I would have to buy individual sets. Which ones did you use?

If you have been running a ~300 gram lipo, and are moving to a shorty, that will be a HUGE improvement. I was running a 451 also (love the BLS series servos), but switched to the 551.

The kit for the RB5 will work just fine!
