Your two speed should work well - Here are some items to check: A) be sure to check that the first and second gears aren't tight and binding. There should be .008" of clearance between FM328-1 and FM 539. B) across the entire two speed shaft, there should be .005" play. Or, push the two speed shaft, in and out - the entire assembly should have play - not too tight. C) Your air gap should be minimal - between the second gear housing and the two speed shoes - no contact - but, damn close - use the "small set-screw" to set - evenly top and bottom. D) Bottom out your adjusting spring (FM423) - now back both out 2.25 turns. You should be close.
Good Luck

I heard you guys are working on the new rear lower suspension pin holder. Have seen some factory Kyosho guys running different suspension holder. What's the difference with yours and when will it come out?

The rear block you are inquiring about is still a prototype.

Reduce the air gap between the second gear housing and the two speed shoes. Adjust until the shoes make contact - then back out so there is no rubbing. Be sure that both shoes are adjusted the same.
Does anyone make a lightened two shaft that might be stronger than the stock one?

Rich, in the new 05' front upper pin holder kyosho have made some reinforcement by using thicker material. I found it is much stronger than the 03' so the problem should have been fixed....a very nice update and I look forward to your empire new mount.
