To 48P or 64P spur gear...? Before I build my 05, I want to know should I buy the 116 64P spur gear (good luck finding one...everywhere is BO) or use the stock 48P gear....? Any CON of using 64P on 05?
Since I have 20-38T 64P pinion collection for my previous and current 12 scale, and I do not want to collect another set of 48P just for the 05.....
I am going to run indoor carpet for now....may be some outdoor asphalt next year......please advise, thanks.
PS...where can I find PRS 116T 64P spur...? And is 116T the one to get? What other should I try..?

I am uncertain between Xray and the RDX as to which is a better car. I am getting back into the hobby after a year lapse and I am in the market for a new car. Most of the guys at my track are running the T1FK05 but I hear a lot of talk of the RDX as being a better car. Can someone tell me the main advantage of chosing the x-ray over the rdx?
Thanks!

RDX is a very good car, but so is the Xray. I would say its 50 50.
The real big difference, durablity. Xray hands down is a much stronger car. It breaks 10 times less than a RDX.

I just got back into the hobby after a 5 year lapse. I got the xray. Parts are cheeper for it which is a big bonus. And from what i hear it's a better car. I know someone that's sold a cyclone and rdx to buy the fk05 and he says it's the best of the lot. I'm still yet to drive mine.

mattman-
youre going to want to swap out the yellow and white springs for something stiffer like light purple and lavander. Find a set up on the xray forums or ask a local who drives an xray what they run. Then you'll have a better idea if you need to buy different c hubs etc.

CVD Blades
I had a lot of wear on CVD blades with the use of a spool. Are there any mods or fixes for this? It seems they need to be replaced every 2 runs or so.
The material seems too soft.

What about 2.0mm for outdoor...?
