LOL, copy copy copy, but never duplicated. I guess that is a hidden compliment

yeah, imitation is the highest form of flattery...but it's still a faux pa in racing to blatantly copy someone.

Looking good mate! Mine still not put on the chassis yet... err actually I did but have to take them apart again because I need to drill the 1/2 inch hole (did you do that?). When I was about to fix them again, tki3 news came out so thought I will just wait for the tki3 parts to come in and build them. For now they are happily sitting there and all still clean and new

I am SO lost man, no idea if you're saying you already have a TKI3 kit in your hands or somehow the convesation swung over to springs?

Please help!

Oh ye, Cav won his title using the light blue Kyosho springs and MP9 sway bars on his AE car.

Why do you have the tall rear shock tower? You use the medium rear tower with the medium threaded shocks

Dude, just put it together and go drive the thing! It isn't as if you're going to notice even the slightest difference with any of the TKI3 parts, so it's better to get as much driving/track time as you possibly can and keep on learning to drive that car. When you get the new parts, should take hardly any time to install them, less than an hour, I'm guessing.

Gotta say, all spread out there, your car does look very nice and clean. What's with that rear shock tower though?

LOL, good catch...that one... long story, thanks to Amain though.

When I first bought TKI2, I knew that the color will fade off and so I change all of the shock stay, shock body and blah blah blah (sorry, it's a designer issue lol) and of course I bought the rear one too without checking and amain didn't state that too. Fix the stock to try and than fix the new one and that's where I knew I got it wrong.

http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ar-Shock-Tower

I was busy upgrading the 2nd hand tki2 and had to use some of the screws from the new TKI2 on the second hand one as there are many wrong screws being used by the previous owner. While waiting for the new screws to come, TKI3 news came out and I thought, what the hell, might as well wait and fix all of them.

Good lesson to learn, not to trust your hobby store and download the damn manual, at least.

Like a product that I know that like to say "Good things comes slowly" so yah, I already have one tki2 which I'm already driving, so I can let this one sit still first.

Oh just clean them on Sunday so this one clean too.

+1 - nobody gets fast by wrenching. but if you've got another car, then that's cool. but the more hours you spend with the transmitter in your hand driving, the better.
