hello, im new to this forum and have a couple of questions. i currently have the 05r w/X12 and was wondering if i should convert this car to the RR or should i just buy the new RR? i've been driving mostly in parking lots and wanted to start racing at the local track here in hawaii. also any set-up advice would greatly be appreciated.

I am focusing on 1:1 scale car racing now, so I gotta liquidate my R/C stuff I love this car... it was the best handling car of any at the track I raced at last year.

Out of curiousity, is that fuel filter thingy really necessary?

Tim Johnson

Sure. It gives you extra runtime, and it kills any air bubbles.

Is the FW05 now officially dead?

well I don't know about the thread... it's been a while since I get on the internet about the hobby. But my FW05RR is still going strong, A mains on occasion, and depending on if I had some practice track time(rarely lately).

Luckly I know the car well enough to have a general set-up that works for me and my style driving.

But for some reason I think most of us are on the same boat.

Well, I just picked up a new fw05S (japan kyosho cup edition).. If anyone could give me any set-up tips for rubber i'd much appreciate it.

Most set-ups have been posted.

*edit**** sorry, this set-up not for rubber tyres



My general set-up:
W/ 37t diff gears for all situations

Front:
doop-1
camber- 1.5-2
toe- 0
spings- stock
shock 50
swaybar- nuetral
diff oil- 80,000
Wheels: 37 to 40


Rear:
droop-4
camber-2.5-3.5
toe-2
spings- stock
shock- 40-50
swaybar- stock, vary whether on or off
diff oil- 10,000
Wheels: 37-40


Something basic, play around with it, there is room for improvement...

I finally got round to breaking it in today, but the servo wire got chewed in the gears after a couple of tanks.

However, I got some advice. 3 degrees toe in at the rear, but I'm running on a bumpy track so I've got 6.5mm rear and 5.5 mm at the front in ride height. I've put 35wt oil in the shocks, 500 seems a bit hard to me, especially for rubber. 1 degree camber all round too.

NiMo

I never ever ran more than 2 degrees rear toe in with rubber, but i did have to run the stiffest rear roll bar with the softest springs (1.2) all round.

Everyone says this car sucks, I talk to Kyosho and they ask Y do I want the car when I can have the RRR. I am starting to get confused. Now I am wondering Y do we all run this car? Are we that much different?

If I was paying full price I would've gone for the v one. But I'm racing S class, not R class. And I got a good deal.

I prefer the fw-05 over the V1RRR. Why should I get a V1? Just to be on the boat with everyone else on the tracks? Nope, I beg to differ
