But gonna get the diffs built up (just started 5mins ago) and at least get the bulkheads and stuff put together. As soon as something's mounted on the chassis, will post some pics of the build process.

I don't know about the stock, but the boca bearing one is 5x10x4, so I guess the stock would be the same too.

Please help!
Aaron I do have a spare brand new front TKI2 shock tower, Cuz of work and stuff the post office is a nightmare to get to.
If your going to Qld states, I will swap for a rear WC tower there with ya?

adir - they're still testing many versions of the body to see which is best. I'm sure it's coming soon, but Kanai and the team want to be sure they choose the best configuration.

I have the WC and was wondering if running a wider or narrower foot print gives or takes away steering or in the rear does it give or take away traction ? Basically is wider more or less traction and is narrow more or less traction for both the front and rear ? I am looking for more steering with out sacraficing the rear sliding around like my old losi. Any help would be appreaciated .. Thanks, Kash

I have had a problem with the outdrives on the rear on my new TKI3, broke four so far. So I tried Associated but the shaft is too long and extends beyond the sun gear, it touches the cross pins and locks the diff. Next was the OFNA lightweight outdrives from the X3 Saber, they fit perfectly, will have to see what the wear is like as I put some more runs on the pair. Was going to try the 777 outdrives but they are heavy, but I don't think they will be an issue with them breaking.

Also I had to switch to the 93mm front universals because the 91mm kept popping out.

Check your diff action when using 93mm in the front. I tried it before but theres a notchy feeling when checking diff action it might wear your diff gears. Now im using 91mm with two shims inside, never pops out.

i am pretty sure someone said on here that if you contacted kyosho they would replace the outdrives. I think they had a batch that was heat treated too much
