Masami stopped racing offroad? Must have gotten tired of winning so many World Championships.

Speaking of gears, I bet the gears would have to be upgraded for the off road abuse. To get back on topic....Anyone know when the CGM is due since it was delayed?

YOK-SD ALUM. SUSPENSION MOUNT

Is it true that using the alum. mount (F & R) will help to reduce the changes of chasis tweak???

Actually I think it would help prevent flex just a little bit simply because of how solid they are, the stock plastic ones are pretty flimsy. Preventing tweak... I doubt that.

I have a question about the Shooters inner Alu. Camber Link and upperdeck mount. It looks like it's really hard to find at a rcshop on the net.. I have ordered one from RCmushroom.com, out of stock and one mount from PrecisionRC.com, out of stock there too.
Right now i'm waiting because if i oreder one from another shop i have 3.. (not good)
Anyone else have this problem?

I'll catch you in about a weeks time. I won't be doing the all day practice on Friday but I'll be there bright and early on Saturday. Good luck to you and happy new year.

This is a little of topic but I need some help and I know you can help me b/c more than likely you went from this car to the SD.


I have just recently purchased a used MR4TC sp w/ the SSG chassis and top plate.

I am having a difficult time finding parts like the front universals, foam bumper, sway bars, servo mounts, etc.

What, if any, parts on the SD are interchangeable with this car?

Also, what reaplacement parts do I need to stock up on before the supply dries up completely?


And lastly, anyone got a carpet setup for this car. I can't seem to find any on the web.

thanks in advance.

Front and rear axles are compatible along with the rear dog bones.

Default drivetrain

hey guys

whats the best way to free up the drive train for the yoke SD. my cuda has a really free drive train right now..and want my SD to match.

ive cleaned my bearings and used the proper oil... sanded down the gears and made sure the mesh is right.. anything else? whats the best way to align the whole drive train also? thanks for your help.

i was gonna sell my SD but im thinking of keeping it now and make it work and use it as a parking lot race car. hope everyone has a happy new year!
