Anyway time for a question, how many spacers do most of you guys use on top of the Xenon alloy hubs, front and rear?

Also, I don't suppose anyone has the part number handy for the kyosho spacers used to shim the small bevel gears?

Cheers in advance.

I'm sure I'll think of something else later too, back to the big rebuild......
I don`t use the Shims on the front c-hubs ...but use them on the rear ones or it you can find a 1.5mm shim thats even better

Default HELP!!!!!!!

Help guys

Im installing the servo in the R2 and it ends up right next to the steering assembly, so close in fact that it appears as though it will not have full travel to the right.

what servos will fit ???


Im using a JR XR3 radio and JR servos, the servo is a 4750 high speed, but it has kind of a longer "nose", where the gears protrude from the front of the servo.

Do I need a certain type or size of servo

The testing of the car in the october xtreme rc uses a KO 2123 and visually it appears shorter in the "nose"

Help Guys

Ive got two perfect JR servos that wont fit

JIMC- I don't think there should be any problem, although it seemed close to causing a problem on my Xenon chassis last night when I placed my KO servo on it. I'll fit it properly later and see how much servo travel there is and if it does cause a problem. Also make sure you have the ball link on the side the faces the rear of the car.

Just got a suprising phone call my MRT speedo has been repaired and will be sent back on Monday The post must have taken over two and a half weeks Atleast MRT are great for doing cheap repairs Need to sell it now though
