You will also have to put bearing spacer/shim on both side of the bearing to get rid of the lateral play when you are done putting it in between the bulkheads. FYI I use my FW's extra diff bearing spacer.

Changes?
Are these changes made to the RRR or does this show difference between the foam and rubber tire edition? Perhaps someone understand Japanese can answer the question? (photo from the Tokyo hobby show from www.teamjoybox.com)

Looks as if those changes are for a rubber tire car. The front diff, thinner rear sway bar and more upright rear shock positions all point in that direction.

I did an afternoon of testing comparing the RRR and the FW05R. Here are some observations:
1. The RRR has tons of more steering throughout, although I had to soften the front anti-roll bar (kit setting being the stiffest).
2. The car is very very nimble probably due to its lower weight. On the flip side, this came at the price of stablilty. The FW feels like it's on rails when taking a turn while the RRR always feels like being on the edge of back end coming out.
3. The RRR seems very balanced that I can easily control the car during a slide. I often come out of a corner too strong and all four will break loose on power but controllable so you can stay on the throttle until the tires regain traction. The FW on the other hand seldom break loose but once it does it's hard to recover.
4. Acceleration and top end seems comparable. However, the FW is running a NSR and the RRR is running a JP FX and the gearings are all different.
5. RRR does seem a bit more fragile than the FW. I broke a rear upright just from scraping the wall while passing on the straight.

I currently have a TM G4, one of the major differences i have noticed between these two cars is the G4 allows for a more vertical shock option on both it's front an rear shock towers. V1RRR look more designed for foams by having it's shocks leaning over more
Let the discussion begin... no flame, just an observation

Now you know why Kyosho is doing it

Hey Jeff, I also used 30k in the rear diff initially and found that the rear was on the edge of grip. I have now changed to 10k and it seems to hook up much more solidly. Just a thought. I also found in both my fw and the new RRRthat the kyosho shock diaphrams leaked after very little time. I have changed to the trf tamiya flat diaphrams and they hold the oil much much better.

np. The front overdrive seems to be able to handle the lighter rear oil. Maybe 15k is a good inbetween compromise. For me the 10k seems to be working well though. much more stable and i can full throtle out of even tight corners and not to worry about spinning.

I am learning slowly from those wise tutors
It would be a very wise move by Kyosho to offer a product specifically for those nitro drivers that run on rubbers.
Has anyone seen them available yet in stores????
