will these fit the tki3 http://www.infernosonly.com/Kyosho_S.../kyoifw154.htm
Just buy a pack of 100 colorful waterballoons at any chinese corner shop, costs the same, 100-250 units included, lasts twice as long, works twice as good.

KYOSHO MP9/STRR ALUMINUM SERVO HORNS
M2C RACING is pleased to announce the release of our aluminum servo
horns for the MP9/STRR VEHICLES.
these arms are made using a Losi steel insert for the spline fits.
they will come in:
m2c 2790 (23 spline)
m2c 2791 (24 spline to fit HITEC)kits will contain a 2.6x 10 screw for these servos
m2c 2792 (25 spline)
We have had great success with these on the MUGEN MBX7
these models are made using the standard book setup for the brake and
throttle levers.
the kits will contain a 2 x 12 screw and 2 mm locknut for the throttle side.
You will use the stock 2.5 mm bolt and nut for the brake side.
The 3 mm x 12 screw will also be included in the 23 and 25 spline kits to hold the horn on.
the 2.5 delrin washer will go on the top of the brake side to space up the upper brake linkage.
One thing I noticed when assembling these servo horns was the plastic bushings supplied in the kit
were tight on the screws.
You want the parts to be very free with no resistance of any kind.
the parts are available on the our website.

Cody King's 2014 Worlds set up. On his website he mentions that they were working on and changing set up everyday right through the 1/4 finals and up to the finals to make the car feel right and this is what they came up with. I watched race on LiveRc and like looking at the set up sheet to see if that's what I would have contemplated doing.

)just realised after rebuilding the chassis I have quite a lot of play in the rear hubs, do I need to change the plastic inserts only or could it be something else?

I ran Kyosho last season, then swapped to Hotbodies.
The 2014 worlds put the spotlight on the major Kyosho problem.
Cody King couldn't even pass start at the first lap before the front suspension arm was broken.
(I'd like to mention at this point I am not a hater, I liked the Kyosho, and I still have it, I love how it drives, etc.)
But every single time there's a race on, I see someone who drives a Kyosho with a broken front suspension arm, it's ridiculous.
After switching to hotbodies I've replaced the suspension arms once, after they were worn out.. I've put 30 races on the car.
The major problem as far as I see, is the front suspension arm weakness. I once asked Yuichi Kanai in a message on facebook if they couldn't make them stronger. There was never any reply. Still not.
After I switched to Hotbodies I've been talking with Torrance Deguzman on facebook all the time, if ever I need some advice he's quick to give it, I can't tell you how huge the contrast is to the non-response from Yuichi Kanai, he even sent me two big huge Hotbodies banners for me to bring to races.
It's been two years Yuichi, it's not too late to make a better suspension arm. Still waiting for your response to my message. Thanks.

Cody's accident was a weird one, I didn't see it but read that his buggy and Phend's TLR tangled on the start and went pit wall head on. You still have a point, it's the most known issue with the MP9 and other brands might not break an arm in the same situation. See vid with a couple of durability tests.
Do you know where most arms are breaking?
OTH, most of the other Pros didn't break anything but performance was "lacking". I wish I could be there to test smaller holes in the front pistons and a long front/rear upper arm.

Anyone getting that slop on the steering posts? I screwed in the top and bottom 4mm screws and still get that slop. It's about a 1mm bit of play. I'm not sure if that's normal or if you're suppose to shim it. Someone here mentioned that their steering locks up, and I think that's causing it to lock when the wheel is turned all the way. Thanks

Is it both steering posts or just one that seems to have the play? Do you mean that the post is actually wobbling and that's the 1mm play you're experiencing? Sure sounds like something's not quite right in there. Hope you get it sorted.

Here's his response, coupled together sould make for better strenght. One of the local guys ran just the shaft from the rear up front and hasn't broken one and he's a complete animal.

Do you have some play on the steering posts themselves? In years of running MP9's, from the original TKI kit through to current TKI3 kits, I've never seen any slop when screwing down the steering posts. The bottom 4mm screws hold the posts in place so tightly, I've never seen any car with play - and 1mm sounds like quite a bit. Absolutely you shouldn't have to be shimming anything at all so I'm wondering if perhaps either your chassis or the steering post(s?) have been machined incorrectly and have a small defect of some kind?

Mine slides up and down on the posts as well. I tend to think that's how it is unless your bearings have frozen themselves to the posts kind of like how the swing shafts rust themselves onto the wheel bearings sometimes.
