AMG: i never use any other springs, so..... but i can say that it didn't work too well in a tight track...

Yeah my friend says they increased his grip, but I cannot work that out unless the chassis is rolling a whole bunch. He uses grippier tires than me.............

Plus I go so hard into corners with no brakes that my car pushes like a sled (thanks for the HP boost Dennis ) Gotta learn to slow down......

i meant it didnt work well in tight tracks....

AMG: did you get a RTU or RTO? i want to get one too, i have a RB5port now... want some extra ponies... but don't know if its worth the extra 100bucks...

AMGRacer

Yeah I heard ya Thats why I am kinda wondering why he thinks it corners better since our track is kinda tight. Must suit his driving style..........

AMGRacer

I have a RTU. I am in love with the engine, but you must gear it right. If you dont gear it down from what you normally run then you dont get a major advantage. Gear it down and you will have better corner punch and top end power than any engine out there that I have run against.

As for whether it is worth the extra 100, I dunno. You are not going to win races just because of the extra hp, but it gives you an edge out of corners and in straight line sprints. If you cannot corner then it wont help ya much For me it compensates for my lack of driving ability some

This sucks! I broke the Centax clutch Spring Catch on my RR. Does anyone know if the one for the Kyosho Fantom (part number FM354 ) will fit? If it is, then I canget it from Tower. If not, then I'll have to order it overseas.

hurhur

AMG, u are from down under and u manage to get the RTU? bcos i thought Dennis wont ship his engines to any part of the world except within States itself.

ME-student

i can corner with a lola... haha... don't know about a sedan body though...i am thinking about the RTO


adelmundo: get the one from serpent. it fits. it is stiffer than the kyosho one too.. and you know what that means... hehe... got the tip from Manticore..by the way... just want to give him some credit... haha

AMGRacer

How the heck did ya do that I am about 99% sure it is the same spring.......

AMGRacer

Doesn't he?? I never heard that he doesn't, in fact I think he shipped one to like Finland for a guy called HFRacing on the HPI board..............

Anyhow I got mine from a guy on this board called Kaliboy. So I guess I found a loophole Nah, Dennis has even said he would ship me a new piston/sleeve across half the world when I need it so I am happy............

hurhur

lucky u!!
Kaliboy is your friend huh? or u got it second hand from him?
