I also bought the five star lightened 2nd speed shoe holder. that and the hardened al. center shaft will remove a ton of rotational mass from that area I think.
Also ordered 2 sets of a arms for the front/back and 2 sets of hubs for the front and back so in the season I dont need to place HK orders for replacement parts hehe.

setting the backlash so that the teeth dont bind too much and getting them to roll smooth was sort of a challenge (lots of testing and shimming) but I got them now to roll pretty good with minimal backlash.
I also ordered the front spool lock thingy. I forgot to order the lightened clutch, because due to my monkey work I put a nice gash in mine trying to get the pinions off...

this isnt a 5 star aluminum shaft, its another MFG's hardened shaft. The 5 star 2 speed shoe holder is what I ordered. Which I cant see being a big wear part.

The 5 star 2 speed holder is much lighter than the stock one. AS for the lightened center shaft, no problems in mine yet. *touch wood*
Jefferylin, where did you get the Square parts??
Thanks

I got 2 RR conversion kits ordered and no notice if it will ever be in stock again, nor whether they will refund. RC-Union sends you a notice that it isn't in stock and the refund immediately- at least they did w/ me. But RCModel still has about $120 and no responses about what they are going to do. Got to email them again

Should be getting it soon, the parts I ordered came in yesterday and I ordered around the same time. You should have heard from them though.

Last few deliveries have taken up to a week longer than normal, not sure where the hold up is but it is at the HK end.
