The green head engine is what was recommended by Carlton of rc pro1 for our cars. You should jump on the deal. Alpha engines are great.

Hey, I'm trying to track this part down (in a shop where I know they have it in stock and will ship abroad), and all I'm finding is a different clutch bell with a different number and which even looks different - part # IG111 or something..

Here, at amain:

Will that work with the Evolva pinions and the Kyosho shims too?

Does anyone have a Kyosho 2.0 starter box and has it wired up for only 1 lipo pack? If so, how do you do it? Pics, Diagram? Thanks

I've seen people try to use 500k up front but all have switch back to lower weights since that high # takes away too much steering. I use 100k in my DM1-Spec but most all drivers use from 50k up to 150k. That includes most Kyosho GT drivers as well.

30F 100C 10-20R is a good starting point
If you dont have a center diff, 5-10Rear.

soft springs and stiff sway bars

A spool would be really hard on the front universals, but I have used one in the center diff on my electric conversion.
I'm not sure the car will turn real well unless you have one way bearings up front like the 1/8 on-road cars (serpent, mugen, etc.). When I remeber who makes the one I used I'll let you know. It replaces the gears with an aluminum block inside the diff case.

My Kyosho 2.0 starter box is wired for a single 4S lipo. The motors are wired in series. With 14.8 volts and a good lipo, the motors do not stall like they did with NMH batteries on a tight engine. I did replace the wire with 12 guage silicone and removed the switch because of the current draw. All the connections are soldered.

I'll try to take a picture tonight.

A picture would work for me. How do you wire in a series?

Yes, the diff cup will wear out so fast. I hv tried in 1/10 tc before but the braking is great with no spin out.

Let me know if u hv any new findings thx man!
