im thinking bout better droop screw system so it wouldnt eat the chassis, (yea I know bout mugen droop screw for fixing it). and better design of the outdrives, Its like a vampire teeth when its worn and chipped the dogbones for unlucky situation.
rest of it TKI3 simply the best !

agreed.... we shouldn't have to resort to using droop screws from other models.

use the rear hub spacer in your shock to set your droop and remove your droop screws

Limiting the shock travel with the droop screws absolutely does reduce the chances of ripping a shock end off. There should be no debate here. With internal limiters all the pressure is on the shock end and piston over every jump and crash.
If you somehow still don't believe droop screws are better than internal limiters then use internal limiters on one side and droop screws on the other. You will quickly realize what works better.
Also keep in mind all 1/8th vehicles include droop screws. If 40 engineers agree on something there's a pretty darn good reason for it.

LMFAO
kyosho rocks , bottom line
good luck finding any rc vehicle that is more ready to rock out of the box
and good luck finding one that needs no "special attention" in any areas of your build
oh and did I mention the cars handle phenomenally ?

I have never wanted to race as much as I do since getting this car.. Love the car and everything about. Will be hard to ever think about switching to something else.

The internal limiters as far as I know was a tip passed on to Mike to try with Elliott's car and any others for that matter from J. Tebo so take the issue up with him, everyone uses that system at my club

OMG this was covered quite well after the worlds, it was a servo failure and had NOTHING to do with the stock plastic arm, in fact he continued to use the stock item after the worlds.

The only thing I would do which I've done on my kit, is to adjust the droop screws so that they contact the chassis at full droop to compliment the spacers. That way there is some pressure on both areas.

So if you are using the hub spacers as Droop limiters, how many do you use to get a 99/118 droop setting?
Are you still having to utilize the droop screws to fine tune?

2mm spacer in the front and 1 mm spacer in the rear, you unscrew the shock bottoms to get 99/118 droop/shock length

but... "OMG"..?? really?

Straight forward and 100% repeatable. I also measured with a digital calliper to ensure the shock bottoms were screwed in 100% equal as possible left to right and that the total height of the shocks after built were within 0.01mm-0.02mm of each other depending on how I held the calliper :P
