Is there any fix for this? besides the 2 mentioned deficiencies, the kit is well executed. comparing this kit to my Tamiya TA06 is not even worth mentioning just by weight alone. By the way, what rate springs come with the kit? I couldn't find any color marks anywhere on the springs. I wont be running the kit for a couple of weeks because of school stuff but I'm really looking forward into driving this kit. Great job Capricorn and keep up the good work.

I agree , what a fantastic car. I do not have had the problem you mention with the screws , they are titanium. The shocks work just fantastic , witch ones are you using , I have changed to the short big bore.
The normal kit springs , normal length are green and yellow

Great to hear you got the car assembled and are over all satisfied with it. Sorry to hear about the screws, next time you order some spare parts from me, I will included some extra screws. Please just remind me .

For the pistons scrubbing a bit, I have had the same problem with a piston. I just use very fine sandpaper, like corn 2000 and grind the piston very little. Then it's smooth and working excellent.

Please let me know if you need a god set-up. My driver Micheal Johnsen has done a lot of testing indoor/outdoor, Superstock/Modified and also tested all the hop-up parts, so he'll be glad to assist.

He replied you earlier, he is Johnsen-dk :-))...

All the best,

Niko

Just wondering if anyone who has the flex motor mount could post the size of the layshaft bearings? Does the flex motor mount use the same bearings as the kit standard mount (5x10x4mm bearings).

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried the new steering rack (with 8.5/9.5mm spacings) and how does it compare to the kit 10.5mm?
