You need a set of outdrive from a RRR V1 kyosho ref No: VZ219 (can be found cheap now)
I changed the internal gears for NT1 metal ones, the originals were plastic, but I guess they will do too.
The bearings are the same size, there is plenty shims to adjust your diff.
And you need a 40t diff which comes extra. (37 and 38 gears are standard in diff, 39 and 40 are separate spares)
It could be interesting to try a 39t on front...

On the minus point, you cannot use blades anymore, except if you remove some of the outdrive, which I did not want to.
So instead, I fitted some heatshrink on the ball and pin ends, it fits nicely with smooth action.

I am at the track tomorow to test all this if weather permits.

Upgrades:
- Gear Diff - for sure
- 3942 - 1 pair of silver associated springs
- 3943 - 2 pairs of blue associated springs
- 31262 - Silver anti-roll bar
- 1402 - 2 pairs short turnbuckles

All the rest comes with the kit. By the feedback of drivers around here maybe some Reflex Racing parts should be a nice upgrade also, but personally i've never tested them.

Was hoping to race today but weather is bad, so have to postpone.

I just got a TC6 and have some spare Sakura geardiffs i want to try, but they appear to have a slightly different pitch on the pulleys.

Did you have any trouble with the Associated belt on the Sakura pulley?
