Cool thanks.
What i am trying to do is have a look at the total cost of the car with the main hop ups compared to a 720 and NT1.
The price of the EVO2 is very good compared to the 720 & NT1 but they come with front CVDs and carbon shock tower and when u look at getting a new EVO2 with the options you mentioned it still look well priced.

The options i would trust are:

Kawahara
Knack
KM Racing
Team AJ (for their carbon servo horns)

and of coz Kyosho's own option parts thou they cost a tad more.

The 720 is pretty old now, so I'd stick to either the NT1 or the RRR. With the xray you must also factor in that parts are going to be more than the RRR (they are here at least). If memory serves me correctly the NT1 '08 only comes with front uni's anyway so you should be able to match the spec with an evo.2 and still pocket some money, plus then you'll have a newly revised car rather than a 2yo one

Cheers Craig, you have pushed me closer to the EVO2 now What were those rubber belts you said? Are like an option low friction option set?

So now what I'm looking at is an EVO2 plus:
front CVDs
from carbon fibre damper stay
spring set
pinion and spur set
Alloy brake lever
app brake pads
alloy hex hub
adj. rear sway
receiver batt
and some spares to get me going.

Now where is that tax return cheque

I just realised you live in Sydney, I bought mine with my bonus Do you race anywhere at the moment?

Yeah the rubber belts are the low friction ones, I've got the kawaharas but I'm not sure if they are really necessary, it is handy to have a spare set of belts in any case. As for the springs, hold off until you've run the car. I went out and bought all the springs for my last car and only ever used the softer fronts, with the RRR I haven't bothered buying any yet

No one in the US has this stuff? I have looked at all the major places and they all seem to be out of stock.

Last I checked, Kyosho America had a lock on prices so vendors were not allowed to sell below a certain amount. I have never seen Kyosho parts consistantly less expensive than their own site www.shopkyosho.com, and if they don't have it then it isn't in america for you to buy and you have to wait.

I've pitted for Toso for more then a year and one things for sure is other then front universals his cars are usually right from the box stock. he will run the adjustable sway in the rear but on occasion will try the stock one. Most all of us amatuers do need to do all we can to make the car the better, mostly because of our lack of talent so we look better. not sure if Toso's set up is posted on rc tech.

So he run's rear dogbones??? Why? Is there some advantage to rear bones, like travel lockup??

greasing your dogbones and universals is crucial for performance and wear. it does create a little more maitenance but it pays to do it.

Most if not all of the US team drivers that I know run dogbones in the rear of the car.
