rear center brace
does anyone on here run the rear center brace? either the kyosho alum. one or the Tebo carbon one? if so, what are your thoughts?

If any of you are having issues with the ZX6.6 front arms, I strongly recommend running the yoko arms, the mod is simple, and I am using all my kyosho parts accept for the arms. I was never really hard on front arms, more frustrated that they only sell with a front and a rear, that being said, I actually made a mistake and used the yz2 front gullwing arms, the difference is that they YZ2 arm is like the rb6.6 arm in that the shock mounts inside the arm while the ZX6.6 and YZ4 arms the shocks mount to the outside. I did not shim the inside of the arm, and I have been much more aggressive and taken big hits, in fact I broke a front tower last weekend, yet the front arms are perfectly intact, nice small cuts from riding the pipe hitting the hold downs the whole 9 yards. I also have much better steering. With the sway bar I did not even change my ball cup, it is a bit lose on the yoko arm but it will not/or at least hasn't fallen off.
All you need to do is drill the inside hinge pin hole to 3mm and run a reamer through it, then with the outside hole next take a grinder or file to the nipple on the inside of the arm and grind it flush with the arm. The front you need to mark your drill bit to the length of the outer pin, then only drill to that depth. Then for the outside you can shim it to your desired track length with shim...

I couldn't find any us dealers for t-works. I had to order direct from t-works. their website says 10-20 days for shipping . not too bad unless you need them now

what did you use to secure the fan mount to the center diff mount? any other hardware besides the 2 screws?

You won't be disappointed. I know many people say to use the Yoko front end parts, but I am running all K parts accept of course for the arms. I have tons of steering, and if it is too much, you can order the plus 1mm front flat arms which are the same length of the Kyosho arms. I am running the 1mm shorter arms and I have tons of steering, it pulls hard into the corners making it much more aggressive. I used to have to go a bit slower into the sharp corners, but with the gullwing arms that are 1mm shorter, I can go in much harder and the back end rotates perfectly. I did it for more dependability as the front arms seemed a bit weaker than I would like, similar to the old tki3 arms, but with the change I got the strength I wanted, and much more steering as well. Once I run out of front arms for my RB6.6 I will be doing this mod for it and my RZ6 as well. It will be a while as my rb arms are much stronger than the zx ones...

What would be needed to swap the ball diffs to gear diffs on the ZX 6.6? I'm assuming new diff cases and the gear diffs themselves. Where would I find the gear diffs and cases?

It's a good idea to swap the 5x8x2.5mm plastic bushings for the same size bearings when you're building them.

No new diff cases required, just two sets of LAW50

yep, I think gear diffs are the way to go on med-high traction. for me, it seems to make the car easier to drive. easier for me to tune also. and the low maintenance is sweet. as mentioned above, gotta change out the plastic bushings with bearings .also change out the steel cross pins for the vvc velvet coated cross pins inside the diff.
