1. what size are the axle screws that hold the wheels on (diameter/length)?

thx in advance

Another problem I've been having is dust, dirt and pebbles being thrown at my motor endbell from the front left tire. I've seen results ranging from dented brush hoods to completely trashed and dirty comms. I ended up using more strapping tape to provide a shield from the bottom of the motor guard to the fan mount on top of the motor. Then I got a little more wisdom and switched to V2 motor with a much more enclosed endbell. I may go this route for all future motors when running 19t or mod on asphalt from now on.

Harsh: Looks like its still a go for speedworld this friday ( July 15 ). We should be there around 11 or so for some tuning and practice. I'll be testing out a few things for my xray and trying some new stuff ( mainly driving techniques ). I did pretty well at the Revo Race at Ripon last saturday night. I took your set-up and modified it a little for my driving style. Other then that, the car was dizillllled still !!!!! See you friday.
BTW: What is used for traction out there and what tires should I bring up ?? Thanks.

some new fotos of my FK05 with the latest mods which include HPI springs.
The steering layout has been raced and works just as good as the standard one if not better.
I m sure you don't like the way I positioned the receiver but it is safer this way to avoid interference.
