Yes? That's pretty typical for manufactures that don't necessary want or have the ability to deal with the logistics of bulk customers directly and prefer bulk sales via a partner. Same with nearly every tire manufacture, chassis manufacture, etc, etc.

Hey all. Will be joining the Kyosho group. Was running TLR stuff and selling my 2wd and 4wd now.

Just curious, are the 22 rear wheels the same offset? 22-4 fronts are they the same as kyosho?

I had the front one. I never had a chance to do a good comparison because I broke* it the first night out.




* The hit it took would have broken any tower <5mm thick.

Well, for the 2wd if you look at AKA's site they list the same rear wheels for all 3 cars, 22's, RB6, B5. If you look at the fronts the 22 is on its own.

Now for JConcepts, they sell a separate rear wheel for the 22's but the RB6 and B5 are the same.

Each manufacturer sells different 4wd front wheels for each car.

I've often wondered about wheel backspace. I'm going to measure a few.

And why long and short rod ends!?
I keep bending the long ones. Now when I say bent I mean after a month I'll notice one is tweaked and forget to swap it out. Set the camber and no big deal. Always the long one though.....

Front Aluminum Brace (Supposed to be stronger)
Rear Springs (Gold vs Red)
Chassis (only has new holes nothing else)
Rear Arms (Has 2 new inside holes)
Manual (Has PNs listed when building now)
Ballcups (Hard version now)
Rear bulkhead (has thicker section by screws and a sway bar mount)
Wing (3.0 vs 2.0 which has 2 different wings, curved and straight)

FYI, I just bought the RB6 from Amain and has the 34301 on the box, but everything inside seems to be 2015 (including manual, gold spring, and arms with three holes). So not sure that 34301b is correct.

Has anyone noticed that kyosho's "red" springs are looking more and more Pink as the years go by?

The 1st set of red springs I bought were dark red, marked on both ends, etc.

The set of red rear springs I just bought I had to compare directly between red/pink to verify that they were red. Results were inconclusive.



Time to go buy some nail pollish

Need some help...... have the 705 and 707 suspension hangers for my mm. And the B insert in for the front and A insert in the rear.

But I have all kinds of side to side play... what is the issue here? Is there a bushing kit I need for the inserts? The pins fit snug in the original plastic holders.

Man, nevermind. I am a dummy and just figured out I need to take the bushings out of the plastic arms and put them in the inserts.
