The kyosho is a 3.4ish internal diff car. What's your gearing? The guys are right though, your temps are more than fine.

Part # on the fans is TT3812

my gearing right now is 48/12 i ran 48/15 before. Is that alright?

Ty or Randy, how do i go about getting a replacement for the v2 rotors? Who do i call or speak to. The tech i spoke to said it's not under warranty.

Guys, give us a call this morning. Either ask for Ty or Randy.

Getting an Rx8 by the weekend may be possible but you're going to have to pay for expedited shipping.

Pull it out of the motor and see if the magnets spin on the rotor shaft. Or if it sounds like it is slipping while in the motor then it has broke loose and needs replacing.

Don't you tease me! LOL!

Actually, it sounds like Randy has been working with AMS to get some there for Saturday. All I can do is hope! Don't want to start the year a race in the hole!

Well, I'll let you know for sure tomorrow.

That would be great if the rx8s make it for saturday. I'll be the backup to the backup then. I have a feeling there is going to be at least a D main in 8th scale...

If the FTMS 8th scale turnout is anything like it was last year, then yeah, we're in for all of a D main in buggy alone!! Then, if the local SCT "movement" shows their happy faces, we're in for a looooooooong day. 241 entries for the Big Kahuna race, back in February, alone!

Now to some of you, that may not be all the large but that was just a simple, one day trophy race in an area that gets a maximum of 70ish entries for a club race!

Ty, I appriciate the offer and talked it over some with Randy today via e-mail. I have already sent both of mine in for repair yesterday via USPS Priority, RA# 1165. I will call you with my card number tomorrow if you think
that you can still get one, or both, out to me by Friday. I live 40 miles from the track so if they were delivered on Saturday, I wouldn't be able to race. I would have to have them Friday. Again, thanks for the offer and let me know. After Randy and I's discussion today, I have no doubt (and never really did) that Tekin is on top of this situation. Us local club/series racers do appriciate Tekin's hard work on this. Truely.
