Which flywheel size did you get?
Reds says to get the 32mm one, kinda strange..
I prefer the Novarossi; but its a 34mm. As is stock. No issues.

V1 in kit and zero need for the V2.

The overall feel of the v1 are much better...note the Team has had great success at the Roar Nats & Worlds using V1.

There isnt a light 46; its already small enough.

It drops right in if you want more rear drive-feel.

Saw it. Different mouse trap. I do like his brake pads but haven't felt the need to change anything else.

Is everyone running the Mugen springs on these now or the AE ones?

If it's the Mugen springs, you need the RC8.2 cups and threaded collars, yes?

Anyone tried VRP Game Changers yet? worth it?

Could someone measure the width of the body for me? Making a 2wd backslash and thinking of using this body.
