    Bodies thinner than 0.7mm is a cancer the hobby doesn't need. IFMAR/EFRA/BRCA/JMRCA needs a minimum thickness rule. Even the pro driver struggle to find painters willing to paint their signature...

    Unhook the link for the servo to the crank/servo saver. See if there is any tension in the steering assembly once loose. You may have a 4mm screw in the front of the post which can rub on the crank...

    As Russ said, theres a lot of different tires, but the current top performing in general are the Marka in rear, and PN in front. The Marka v1 10 are good for stock speeds, v1 05 for modified. The 05...

    Cain I know you said you would like to make your purchases at AMain, but I also saw that you may want to paint bodies. If you decide to go brushed, Kyosho recently released a MR-03 without a body,...

    Great deals on the '22 right now for the solid chassis and a few retailers with good deals on the graphite kits too. Not too many steep discounts on the flex kits. Probably not too many major...

    from experience when you are looking at the 2nd year of a new platform, the price premium for the Y2 version is worth it. I would wait. On an existing platform, usually not worth it unless you're...

    As above, The newer kit will also have the re enforced bulkheads etc. so many have had to replace them it would be cheaper to get the new car.

    I would estimate that it should cost less than $100 to get a RWD board and stock kt-531p radio and update the S2 to RWD spec. The majority of newer tracks are best of starting with a consistent box...

    I just looked at the A-Main site. The SC430 listed as S2 is a RWD. If the car comes with the KT-531 radio, it is not a Sports or Sports 2 car. Often a re-release of a body on the MR03 will not...

    Kenon Hobby has hop ups listed by car. Within the set for the car, they have it divided into PN parts and others. PN makes (IMO) the most hop-ups for Kyosho Mini Zs of anyone. If you've just...
