So does anyone know gor sure what springs come in the kit?

Same for the new wc buggy too.


SC-R SP manual gives the yellow, red, and orange springs as "optional" parts......

Matt,
Derek (at Kyosho) just emailed me and told me to tell you and anyone else inquiring, that the SCR-SP kit springs are the equivalent of X-Gear YELLOW springs (front & rear)...

The SP2 WC buggy has the equivalent of X-Gear Pinks (Front) and Red (Rear) springs...

Let me know if you have any other questions... I have built a few of the WC's and can put it together in my sleep! I have a stellar setup for 17.5 buggy at WCRC if interested too.

I would be interested in this set up for west coast. Can you PM or post it in the RB5 thread.

I have an scr-sp about one day away in the mail. Anyone have a good clay track indoor setup?

I had an SC10 before switching to Kyosho and the SCR is way, way smoother to drive - as far as actual lap times I can't really say because I never ran them both on the same track (local track did a track change the week I switched) but the Kyosho is way easier to drive consistently whereas the AE always had a twitch to it and felt on-edge. The SCR just settles in and lets you crank laps at your own pace, which ends up making you way faster overall at the end of a heat.

SC10=CORVETTE
SCR=PORSHE

they are both trucks but kyosho's quality is way better it drives and turns jumps and basically everything way better im not just saying that either. if you have the money there is no question the scr is a pure race breed truck

No, No, No.

The SC10 is like a Roush Stage Three Mustang. Very fast in a straight line, but VERY twitchy in the corners.

After I race mine I feel like I need a cigarrette. You have to be so on point driving the ftsc10 imo LOL.

I'm thinking of upgrading in the Spring. If it's that much easier to drive then say no more.
