The plot keeps thickening on this fine kit. The steel Associated pivot balls that I showed in the post above are an absolute perfect fit........ With the short course plastic shock caps. The caps on the buggy are the same part number with a -B at the end of it. They are .1 mm smaller hole measured with a caliper. I know it's a concave type hole but it still gets the point across. With the buggy caps those inserts go in but don't pivot freely. With a little fine sanding and some grease I'm sure they'll be just fine. They won't work at the other end of the shock as the shock rod end holes are smaller than the shock caps holes. Actually the plastic balls provided in the kit are a perfect fit for the rod ends but I don't want to use the plastic ones so I'll come up with something that works, I hope. I don't want to run AE rod ends to make a good fit but it might come down to that. I'll let everyone know what I come up with

Losi has sets of anodized washers that are very close to the kyosho ones and a good bit cheaper.

On the collars, I wonder if I got parts where the tolerances ran up in the wrong direction and made everything tight. You may be good to grease the collar and universal before assembling without doing the heating and cooling of parts.

Here are the pictures you requested. There are no signs of wear. I wiggled it to see if there was any slop and there wasn't any. I guess Kyosho must be using a better material that what you have seen from those other shafts. As you can see by the heavy debris, this car gets used a lot. This is also with him using the bigger tires off his Slash. Also, after I pulled the retaining ring off, I was reminded that there are additional holes in the shaft cup so if one set of holes gets worn, turn it 90 degrees and use the other set of holes.

Are the rb6.6 3 hole rear suspension arms (kyoumw711b) the same as the rb7 rear arms (kyoumw742) with the narrow pivot setting?

Yes that threw me for a loop when building my rb7ss. When the manual has you attach the arms to the chassis they show the inserts going in at that point. Later on when you go to install the hubs it shows the arms without the inserts. That got me thinking that I seemed to remember a manual supplement sheet in the box so I went to look at it. It showed me that the brass spacers I had leftover when I assembled the rear hubs should have gone in between the bearings. The SS model has different axles and spacers and doesn't show the brass spacers being used. I thought they should still go in but decided to follow the manual. When I went and found that supplement it had me disassembling and putting them in, a little frustrating but not terrible. Just glad I caught it or I could have run the car indefinitely with no spacer between the bearings in the rear hubs

Surprised (but happy) to see new products released for this platform. I agree they look black anodized. We can hope it's an illusion and that they really are that awesome chocolate brown color. Sometimes that color can be tough to photograph. Actually when I bought the front aluminum pivot block, as I looked at it through the bag I was disappointed to see it was black instead of that brown color. Kept looking at it and thought it doesn't look exactly black, took it out and it was that awesome color we love. I had no idea these were even in existence. How did you find out about it?

I was on Kyosho's home page and looked under the "What's New" tab. They release a bunch of new accessories, but these are the only ones for the RB7.

Speaking of what's new, the door has been breached and this is what was behind it. No spoilers here. You'll just have to see for yourself. Of course the name in the link kind of gives it away

Yea...
I noticed that. I started a thread on here about it. I'm wondering when the E-version will come out.
