Im a bit over half way through building mine.
Front and rear ends are done. Just setting up the radio tray now.
My first impressions are:
New Plastic. Seems stronger/stiffer.
New Gearbox. Hot. A lot better fit than the old one.
New 2nd Gear with Steel inside instead of Alu. Hopefully helps with the stripping issue.
New adjustable servo saver.
Longer rear arms/driveshafts.
Thicker rear shock tower.
Chassis milled out near clutch bell. Should allow clutch bell removal without having to loosen the engine.
I cant wait to get it onto the track.
It will be making its track debut in Qld at the State championships.

Barg:
I have a question for you since I have not had a car in my hands as of yet:
Are you sure that the rear arms are longer? I was told they are the same as the previous car. Do you have an old one you can compare to be certain it is different?

The narrower chassis would allow more flex, thus improve grip right? So what will it lose?
Any questions, i notice that the 1st pinion is sharpen on the edges compare to other cars like the Mugens and the Snakes. Why is this so? will it make better meshing or will that make a difference in the roll out?
Sorry for so many questions, just trying to learn.

So basically it is the same car as the EVO? How about the roll-out, any changes to that?

The car does have a bit more flex but I would say it is more of an eqaul flex front to rear.
The sharper point is for a smoother , more free mesh and will make no diff in roll-out
I will post the new parts with part #'s in the next day or 2.

"Kyosho have released information about their latest Kyosho V-One RRR 1/10th scale 200mm, the Evo 2. Designed to be a refinement rather than an all new design, the designers have worked on performance, stability and ease of maintenance. The main chassis plate is completely new with a narrower front end, while the radio plate has been stiffened up to improve drivability. The car also features the 2 speed gearbox from the Evolva M3, a new thicker revised rear shock tower and the rear of the car also sports longer arms to allow the use of 0-offset wheels."
The above information was posted on redrc.net from Kysoho.com however when I checked kyosho.com did not spot any information on the above written article.

Now i am confuse
RedRC reported longer rear arms. but the part numbers are the same. I guess i have to wait for somebody with the EVO and EVO 2 to post pictures of the arms.

Just the opposite. From what Kyosho told me the chassis is narrower in the areas where the radio tray sits. The areas of the chassis at the front and back, where the bulkheads mount, the chassis is the same width. I am almost sure that the current spool will fit. I was actually told that all the plastic is the same.
Ron will hopefully confirm, but I was told the differences are:
New chassis
New radio tray
It comes with the 2D clutch
Uses the M3 servo saver, so you have inserts to more easily adjust ackerman
M3 2 speed
New 2nd gear that has a steel ring instead of aluminum
Car will use 0 offset wheels
Regarding the new offset of the wheels, I was not able to get the answer on how they do that..... Unscrew the pillow balls? Different wheel hexes? Will we need a longer camber link? Longer dogbones? Maybe Ron can shed some light on that.
Most or all of that has been mentioned, but that is what Kyosho America told me on Monday.
