I ordered from RC Mushroom Hong Kong this past Saturday & I got it this Monday. That's pretty fast!

PM Advil on this thread...he might be able to help you out.

Sorry for the late reply on this.

The new rear hub is 2mm shorter (height) so it needs 2mm shim to get the same outer camber link height. With using smaller shims, we can lower the outer camber position if needed.

We will also release the 2.5mm upper deck, suspension blocks (FR, FF/RR for different width), shock towers, 46mm steel drive shafts, etc. I think they all will be available in a month or so.

Thanks,

I just ordered the new Roche Spool... and a pair of Tamiya 46mm dogbones...

Is that the end of the impossible quest of 88914?

Will post some photos when I get it...

Thanks for the pics, Hiro

Do you happen to know if the factory fixed the toe-in issue that a lot of people experienced with the molded rear hubs? I switched to aluminum long ago, so I kinda stopped following it so its already been corrected, I appologize

Hi,

Yes the problem has been solved and it's been kinda long time since we fixed it. Please don't worry about using the existing rear hubs. Of course the new one will have no problem.

Thanks for your support.
