Got some great tips from RedbullFixx over the weekend, particularly how to lube the DCJs.
His DCJs do look brand new. Did some research turns out heli guys use this stuff too. It sprays on liquid and sets as a thin oily film that stays on unlike grease. Kinda like triflow on steroids! Thanks Dave for the pro tip!

This is the stuff:
Thoroughly clean DCJ's with motor spray, and give them a spritz of this stuff every few weeks or so, also use it to lube blades, or pins

Me so close!
I've come across a few magazine articles in Japanese briefly talking about the RS but no pricing or release dates. Just a few snap shots of Masami holding the prototype version and some close up shots of the plastic components.
I would estimate the release date would be in August or September. Pricing, I would estimate around 20,000 Yen or $230 USD range.

Man I was off by only $10, somebody buy me a lottery ticket.

Gearing help
Can anyone offer any advice on gearing for an 8.5 speed passion motor?
I'm planning to run 48 pitch gears. I'm running a BD5wxi on a tight carpet track and I assume that the internal ratio of 2.1 is the same as a BD7.
It would be great if someone could give me a starting point.
Cheers

Always thicker oil then
#2475
I think 2000wt is the ideal starting point especially if you're at an unfamiliar track. Works 90% of the timefor me. I change the oil to alter the way the car enters the corner and then work my setup around it. Thinner for more aggressive corner entry at the expense of less high speed steering and thicker oil for vice versa. For most outdoor tracks, you can get away with a thinner oil and it won't upset the balance but on carpet, it's very sensitive to viscosity changes.
