I was wondering what a you tki 3 wood be
Worth. It has Lunsford turnbuckle kit
ko propo switch and the inferno switch
Plate blue aluminum spring cups and the car is about
Two months old and very well taken care of. Thanks for
The info

If so, anyone who gives you any kind of answer is pulling it out of their arse or just thin air because it's in 100% absolutely impossible to give any kind of meaningful, useful answer without 2 essentially/vitally important pieces of infrmation, those being: a) how much wear and tear is there on the car as a whole and each part individually and b) some pics to see how the previous owner took care (or didn't) of his ride.
Without those 2 very important details, the best you or anyone else could do would be to simply add up the values of the various components as if they were all brand-new or perhaps new with just 2-3 uses of the car. Problem is that what some poeple consider to be "Two months old and very well taken care of" could be just that or could in reality be 6 months old, never cleaned, lubed, checked for broken or worn out parts, etc.
Have you actually seen the car in person or even some pics of the car showing ANY major wear or broken stuff? It's just that in 2 months some racers could just about completely kill a car if they practice 1-2 times/week and race every weekend (they might not have completely ruined the car but definitely some racers could very easily wear out components to the point of needing urgent replacement within 2 months).
If you could post some pics of the car, I'm sure you would receive at least a few meaningful and reliable estimates as to how much the car could be worth and even if it's worth grabbing it or just leaving it for someone else.

Is there a cause why no one is running the CVD swing shafts? Like IFW433
I think all kyosho drivers at the worlds were running the normal universal swing shafts - why? Not at good upgrade?

Just my thought, even though I do in fact use the captured unis for the front and rear centre driveshafts and sometimes also in the front wheel driveshafts. I've never seen any reason to use them in the rear though.
Just my $0.02.

+1 to aaron's reply - lots of variables without seeing the car. In the past when I shopped for used cars, if I saw pics of the car and the car was not clean, instant deal breaker. If the guy selling doesn't care enough to clean the car to present it for sale, he ain't cleaning/maintaining it between races either.
I've run the CVDs in the center of the car (front/rear center shafts) before and like them for improved throttle/brake response/feel. They tend to bind more than the universals on the 4 corners which lead to ill-handling effects and because of this, they typically aren't used often on the 4 corners unless the track is super smooth and super high bite. The universals are part of what makes the Kyosho so good in the rough, there is virtually zero binding in them throughout the full suspension stroke. But, if you want rebuild-able components, the option is there. And what aaron just said about them is true as well.
Also, with regards to the Worlds, setups shared from there, etc. Please keep in mind, this was a track unlike any other, and the setups required to run there will work on probably 0.00000001% of tracks in the world, i.e. Speed Paradise and no where else. I wouldn't go putting -5deg camber in the rear cause "it's what Cody ran at the worlds" - it's not the same as 2010 where you could copy the setup and be dialed unfortunately. With that being said, if you look at the overall setup, it's not all that different - the meat and potatoes are still there, just small adjustments in certain directions.

hi sean,
what can you say with their diff setup 5/6/2? i ran on a small rough dusty technical track and lots of corners and jumps. currently running 553 with codys world setup. Any ideas what will change if i try to ran 562?

Hey guys quick question, front upper arm, on the inner side it has clips to slide the arm front or back. I do not see the setting for this on the setup sheet, what do you guys run?

as I was typing the question I was thinking that the caster is controlled at the hub, why would these control castor. Thank you, thought confirmed!
12-21-2012, 10:53 AM
The only reason those clips even exist is because the upper arm position will change if you change your front kickup, or caster inserts in the c-hub. It's not like the Mugen - our clips are only meant to be shims, not caster adjustments.
