I don't think so, if you do,... i think you'll end up spending more than you should,.. better keep the MT2 and buy a tourer

Noted that. thanks.

Talking

It all done and now i need to test it..
Almost all stock except the upper deck - 3racing, and modified lefty to right pipe and manifold.

There are afew plans in my mind
1) To change the rear upride to Mugen upride ( Which i done to my V1RR Evo to M1RR Evo )
2) Change the ring gear to steel ring gear.
3) Change the dogbone to UJ
4) Change that plastic wheel adapter
5) Change that plastic pivot ball stopper
6) Change the chasis
7) Change the rear upride link to V1RR link

Pretty except the heatsink That is 11 layer Novarossi heatsink which I already sand it (polished) the top surface ( Due to scratches ) on RR RB X12 Engine.

that subject was not talked about long ago.

I would not be the best person to ask however. I think AMGRacer or Manticore or someone that that will be able to give a better explanation.

Jeffrey you can check V1R thread page 362 . They just talk about it again... Actually it was talk quit sometime ago by AMGRacer and Manticore. In short it let you have stepper camber link -Manticore, good roll center , grip and cornering agilbe. I'm not the pro but have aa lot on their comment.

Infact Kyosho V1RRR will change their rear hub to "Mugen" alike rear hub. And check the preworld championship recently where Triboni use FW05R with Mugen hub .. ANd he got 1st

But still is up to individual "taste". Even Takuya Ito on that preworld with the orginal rear hub he TQ , fastest lap

I may be wrong but I read that the Mugen uprights on the FW05R came from the pictures at the Pre-Worlds on Tironi's FW05R.



With the Mugen uprights, you are able to change the rear roll center by changing the angle of the upper and lower arms.

Thanks D. Appreciate the picture. I think I's stick with the stock rear upright for now as my rear is absolutely planted and there is little need to make adjustments there. It's steering that I need...

Interesting about Tironi's car. Everything else looks pretty stock except the 3Racing alumnium bulkhead. I had other 3Racing alumnium parts on my car but I've now took most out (for weight) leaving only the front bulkhead.

H has the front uprights shortened or re-drilled where the turnbuckle conects leaving a much straighter turnbuckle . This affects the ackerman and should give you some steering.
