Has anyone been using or tried using any of the other pistons on the Kyosho tree other than the 3Bs? I have Kyosho velvets and Tamiya shocks both built up with 3Bs to try.
On my 2nd 201 I would like to try something else as well. Just looking to see if anyone has any input on pistons other than 3B. I have a few of the Kyosho parts trees and no extra Tamiya pistons at this time.

the Tamiya family is very peculiar. they show up late, don't make changes often to offroad TRF cars.. they choose not to dip into certain markets and then will roll out a secondary market 4wd buggy that is plastic fantastic.. they often seem to do things on a whim and unexpected.
i love tamiya, they make all parts in house, its an amazing sight. they just aren't very responsive.. unless its onroad.

Not signed up for Spektrum. Can't really do a multi-day race right now.

Anyone want or need some wheels/tires? I picked up a spare 201 and it uses the stock front axles. I am switch them to AE style so I can share wheels between my current car and the new one.
there's a NIP set of front Tamiya rims and used rims
Mounted on Tamiya rims:
new front Scrubs
used JConcepts Groovy (green)
VP Pros
some Losi wheels mounted on a hex rim
used mount AKA Rebars front and rear
Tamiya axles included
PM me and I can send pics if you are interested.
