The Tamiya Turnbuckle Wrench(Item # 53602) is a 3mm Wrench. I thought the Tamiya Blue Turnbuckles are 4mm.....?

Hope this helps.

Hi Guy's,
I want to get some replacement belts for my MRE, but all parts stockists I know of don't have the part number belts as stated in the Rheinhard Kit. Are there other belts that work fine?

The blue bolts are from Champ RC, they sell a Ti and Blue Aluminium screw kit... I think it works out at about £26 or so.
The capacitor is the one that came with the MRT MX TSX.

Does adding spacers under the front suspension block affect anything else? Such as anti-dive?
