Guess I better be subscribed to this thread. Just picked up 2 ZX6.6's for the boy and I. He'll probably be running 13.5 wheeler and me in mod, cause, you know, I'm a grown man who like to zing it down the straight and is too old to go fast anywhere else.....LOL!
These wheelers have a floating servo mount. What's the benefit of these? They look to be heavier than the regular servo mounts that come in the kit.
I'm sure I'll have lots more questions as time goes on.
We're running his buggy this weekend. Medium bite regular dirt indoor track. Super soft tires are the norm. 5K front and rear gear diffs and 300k in the center just because that's what it came with. We'll see how it goes.

I would agree concerning clay compounds but we run super soft at our home track. Thwy still come with open cell. It's really a different surface. Never seen anything like it anywhere else. Super soft for traction but everyone runs laydown to make the car rotate in the 180's. I do normally run closed cell though as does everyone else. Working on my sculpting skills!!

if you dont want to buy closed inserts just put the rear open cells in full size. Dont cut them down to fit. The feel of the full size foams is pretty close to a broke in set of closed cells. the only real problem is that the open cells wont last the life of the tread on the tire.

So I am running my zx6.6 in 13.5 class and looking to shave a little weight I have seen a few posts about using out drives off of the tf7 . Also I used to run a xb4 with that I pit all composite gears in the gear diffs is there an option like that for kyosho? Also my motor is right at the verge of over heating what are you guys running for pinion spur with the 13.5 thanks

velvet coated outdrives
is anyone here running the velvet coated outdrives on the gear diffs and the drive cups on the bevel gear shaft(rear of the front diff and front of the rear diff) ? the diff outdrives fit fine but the vvc drive cups don't seem to fit on the bevel gear shaft at all, the bevel shaft is way too small diameter for the cup to fit on. can anyone help me out with this? am I missing something?

I had no idea what they were for originally (have a 6, not 6.6), but they are just a sleeve that fits over the steel drive cup. Retains the cross pin instead of an o-ring, but more importantly, keeps the center drive shafts from falling out.
If that's what you are talking about, then those slip over the steel piece.

From what I have seen, you need to shave the TF7 outdrives some as they'll hit the driveshafts at full bump.
And I ran 13.5 with a 76/27 on carpet the other night. No overheating with a WTF fan. About a 70ft straight or so, tighter technical.

vvc
Do you have a part number for those? I couldn't find any info on a VVC drive cup, but wondering if you mean these: KYOLA379?

Been wondering about the plastic gears as well. I have some From the Tamiya sedans, just havent' had a chance to try it yet. If they work, I'll let you know.

I'm currently trying to get the plastic outdrives from the ZX5 (LA211B) to work on the pinion shafts. They are the same size as the stock steel ones, but they don't have holes for the set screws that secure the cup covers (LA379). It appears without the cup covers the center shafts would be likely to pop out, at least when using the center diff.
