So I've decided to buy the Kyosho V-ONE RRR SHIMO Edition kit.

Now, I am a newb here but not to building and modifying nitro road cars. My first was an HPI Nitro RS4 3 SS 10 years ago. I've been out of the scene for many years and am very behind on the advances in tech and brands/quality so that's why I have come here asking for your help! I don't race in any specific class, I'm only out to have fun, but want the best now that I can afford it and have the experience.

I'm primarily looking for recommendations for engine/pipe/header, 2.4GHz pistol grip system, and HD servos.

A) Who currently makes the best HD servo kit right now for this? Nothing fancy, just precise and tough as nails.

B) What is bar-none the baddest, fastest, most powerful engine I can slam in this bad boy?! Some huge insane sick ass Picco? Anything more over the top out there?! Simple question huh lol! How about a great header/pipe to go with it?

C) Since I'm not hard core pro racer, there are allot of features I am seeing on the top-of-the-line radio systems out today that I simply don't have need for. What is the best quality 2.4GHz pistol grip system available without being too much and not being "cheap". I want something with a great feel, range, reliability, etc.

I guess I'll ask for 1 more suggestion, wheels/tires. I do allot of drifting as well and have always had big problems keeping tires on the wheels no matter what combo or adhesive I tried in the past. I've seen the new foam sets. Which of them will hold up the best to the abuses of drifting?

Thanks!

So reading the pdf manual, it says "Only Pilot shaft with slide carb engine without pull starter rear exhaust is available". So I'm considering this Picco from Kamikaze:

Kamikaze Team Edition Picco P9R ($460)

What's going to be the best header and pipe for this sucker?

I trust the Picco brand due to past experience plus I kinda want to do a clear 200mm Pagani Zonda body so I can see all the blue/silver/black parts through the body.

Probably have some trouble squeezeing in a P9R its a .21.
You want a good .12 like a nova or rb.

92GTA

That sucks because I want a big torquey engine that will be suited for drifting as well. I didn't want some tiny high-revving engine

No way to make it fit this kit? What other large engines will fit?

I might have to go with another kit then....

I am very happy with my team orion 1007 servos both steering,ac/br. Its second season with them now. You should take a look, very good servos in a decent price.
If you want a beast the only way is RB T9RC or T9 Murnan Modified.

I would go with:
futaba 451 brushless digital serovs x2
futaba 3pks, or futaba 4pk radio
Murnan rbm3 it is faster than the t9 Rc and Murnan rb t9
novarossi 2652 pipe with short manifold.

That's if you want the best

Also you can go with low profile servos and lipo or life battery!!

why did u get a kyosho v rr one if u are going to drift and bash in parking lots? you should also go with a .12 engine. which is wat the car was made for

92GTA

Because from the research I did online it appeared to be the best around that wasn't an insane mount of money.

I'm looking into the current .12 engines now. I might end up going to a 1/8 scale to have fun with the bigger .21 and .28 engines. I just don't know yet...

ugglasdav

sometimes engine size isnt everything. a good nova or Rb .12 will be very fast in a rrr

...and just what research was that!?!?

There alot of other cars you could have gotten for less to do what you're stating.

Oh well the damage is done......or maybe not. Sell your car to one of the serious racers and then get the HPI RS4 evo 3 if you want to drift...you'll have plenty of mony left for upgrades if you really want to go that route.

the fact that you are looking for the sickest engine in a pro level car just to have fun (drifting) with shows you are ready for neither. That whole combo is wrong for what you want it for.

OS made a .18 TZ that I believe fits in a .12's mount (for the revo offroad truck) and that would have the torque you are looking for and you may have to figure something out for the clutch but it should fit.

Best radio around the price you want is the spekrum

ATS/Twister tire sidewalls hold up extremely well and resist chunking, but all foams will chunk to some degree. You may want to stick with rubber, same hex size.

The OSMG2110

Sweet, only $149!!! Thanks!

Ok, this is my list thus far. What do you guys think so far?

I still need to choose a 7.2v battery pack and some wheels/tires, pipe/header, & tire setter. Anything else I'm missing?! I also changed from O'Donnell fuel to Byron 20%.

Thanks!
