The #1 site online for Kyosho parts would be ashfordhobby.com Robert Poage that runs it is the best guy there is to work with when it comes to online websites. He has a great selection of Kyosho parts.

hey guys, just building my evo wc and wanted to say hello! However, im stuck. I cant seem to get the spacing right on the two speed shaft. Instructions call for spacer #38 on the pulley but that leaves for tons of free play on the two speed side. SHould i be using the longer of the two plastic spacers?
thanks guys!

Try using the longer one. It should do the trick. I assume you are talking about the spacer that goes on the 2 speed shaft between the bulkhead and the side pulley.

And do they have a titanium or hollowed steel drive shafts for the car?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know of anybody that sells a complete titanium screw kit for the K-car. There was a company that did but they don't anymore. There probably is, I am just unaware of whomever that might be. You have a few choices. Buy the Mugen screw kit and have a good start, or just look around and you can find bags of 5 and 10 screws. Buy what you want. I bought some from overseas.

Ybslowinc.com sells an aluminum light weight front shaft for the car. I believe Jimmy even has one on his car (as well as the light spool and maybe even a few other parts). 3 racing makes a titanium 2-speed shaft. I know a lot of people don't trust their stuff. I am one of those people and some of their stuff I would never put onto my car, but the 2 speed shaft has been on my car for a year with no issues. If you get that shaft be prepared to do one of two things. You will either have to use the older RRR plastic brake pulley and brake disc, or you will have to grind a flat spot onto the shaft.
For the first 6 months, I used the aluminum pulley and I just ground a flat spot onto the shaft. I decided to put my car on a diet and switched over to the plastic pulley about 6 months ago. Either way works.

FYI when switching to the plastic brake pulley, you will lighten the drivetrain, you will make changing the rear belt more time consuming, and you will get longer life out of the rear belt..... At least that is what I have found.

how do you adjust front droop?

Scott Fisher

In the front, there are screws that go down through the sway bar mounts and push on the front sway bar.

In the rear there are screws in the rear a-arms that go through the a-arm and push on the chassis.

Scott, you haven't had an issue with blowing out 2nd gear? Or are you setting your gear mesh on the tight side? I tried the K TI 2 speed shaft and kept blowing 2nd gear. Also, I did some searching for a plastic brake pulley, I don't mean to sound like a rocket surgeon, but are you talking about the side belt pulley that is on the 2 speed shaft?

I had an issue with blowing second gear, I was lucky if I got 2 runs out of one. I figured out it was the inner clutchbell bearing, the stock one has too much play. Toss it out and get some better quality bearings, I runed the sam gear for 6 months this way.

I think I have blown 2 second gears in 17 months. One of them stripped because the engine screws came out (forgot the loctitie) and the other stripped because I forgot to put the bearings into it.... Another brain fart.

The plastic pulley I am talking about is the brake pulley. It is the pulley that goes between the two rear bulkheads. The rear belt rides on this pulley (as well as the rear diff).

Are you guys running steel pinions?

My driver only got 3 race days out the the alum and they are super sharp, not good for mesh anymore.
