The Kyosho wheels are close in the front but the rears are way off.
DEX410 wheels from Durango or DE Racing fit.
Fronts are a direct fit and the rears you have to ream out the center hole just a tad. Offsets are the same.
Being a tire whore I don't have a huge problem buying new wheels. That reason to not buy a car is the same as not being able to buy your parts at every track in the world.... and you run Kyosho like me but we don;t let that stop us.

I own a track & it is not the responsibilty of the track
You race you come prepared for the conditions of your driving for that track
If you selected the wrong tire who's fault is it

Sand the back of the gears that lay towards the shim
300grit i what i use this is what a lot of the pro's do in making them smoother there less abrasive against the shims which creates less friction
while your building the shims place the diff oil by section to avoid absorbtion when the gears are set in turn them you will see the oil settle in & add a bit more I fill them over the shaft pin/cross pin & after I run them I recheck em & add oil if needed I have rebuilt mine twice & have the steel gears on order but until they arrive highly suggest checking them at the velocity that they are turning oil breaks down regardless what brand or viscosity

Some tips on the composite diff's when built properly you should have no issue I built them just like I would on the Nt1 or T4 platform

. Don't over sand the back of the small satellite gears or too much play will cause them the strip out even faster than if the oil was lowNow i have to get an XB4

Just made a little website for the shock towers and there's an option to pre-order some of the black towers which should be out sometime soon. Pay with Paypal, let me know if there's any issues.

Hey folks,
I just finished my build , and after in stallions of electrics and while setting up EPA's I noticed a fault in the build....
The steering rack clears the inside button screw on full left lock but on right lock the rack clashes with the screw, see the images.
See the screwing have marked white , this seems to bee where the rack hits, I can't/don't want to tighten it down any more in case it strips
Second image is full left lock
Note: full right lock and the clash on rack.
Thoughts?.....
