Kind of looks like a Mugen with a Kyosho front end on it. Are the diffs Mugen sized or Kyosho sized?

that mean the gears are lighter? (dont know because i never put together a kyosho 777) to get lower weight on my mugen i used lota balls light weight pivot balls , graphite hinge pins, and went titanium screws on all plastic or chassis to plastic. it still feels heavier than most 8ights i race against though (say about 1/4 lb or maybe a little more)

Linkster,
So far we have not broken anything other than a few small parts (shock end, and a steering ball end) and we have been beating these things up pretty good.

Eric, I am out of this office all this week, I will try to give you a call

BTW, all is well
