As a stop gap you can get the 9.8mm front adapter hex and get the B44.1 front mono wheels to match

What setups are you guys using, and are you guys buying any machined pistons for this kit?

I find the stock shocks & pistons to be a little "scratchy" and not nearly as smooth as my Kyosho shocks on my 1/8 for example. They seem to be pretty crap at best by comparison. Is this just standard for 1/10?

Thanks, nice job

Could the "problem" with the shock be that the shocks should be on the other site of the tower?

if you look at the pic. from:
http://www.teamyokomo.com/product/of.../b_max43g.html
you can see that the shocks is on the back side of the tower

The shocks can be mounted on both sides. The manual state for it to be front side rather than rear side.

Though is it not stated in the manual, the rear side shocks position should be better for big and long jumps. Would keep the car more composed when landing

I realised that Naoto setup at worlds is rear shocks position, and other races using the front position.

I believe that this is an additional tuning option for us again
