I had some one tell me about a screw kit that works on the r40. (chassis $75-100 for 20 grams) ($100-125 for 180 grams) that will put my car just at the limit. I was going to by the chassis but changed my mind when i find out who has it i will post it.

I have three diffs and none of them leak. Take your time building them and make sure the gasket gets seated right. Do up the 4 screws in a cross-wise way and check them all a few times. After you run the car a few times recheck that they are tightened down snug and you are done.

Good find Harry. This is the best way to buy these items. It should only run $18 or so, that price seems a bit high.

Nothing fits from my old V1R. The belts should be fine, my local track is pretty dirty and i have only had one rock incident. Belt did not break just messed up the pulley some.

If you have chronic belt and pulley damage you should seriously consider a shaft drive car. If your track is that badly maintained you will always be pulling rocks outta your car.

I am having trouble understanding what you are saying here. Are you saying that one kit saves you 20 grams and the other saves you 180 grams?

I have the HPI titanium kit and from memory that saved me around 20-30 grams. I cannot see any screw kit saving more than that. Plus the HPI kit ran me like $45 not over $100.

is the chassis worth spending $75 to $100 depends were you buy it for 20g or 180 grams for $125. the guy said it took 6oz off the car and i checked a scale and it came to about 180g and it is a screw kit but i am going to chaeck on that. it does seem a little hard to beleave

It is impossible to save 180 grams with a screwset. The stock steel screws only weigh like 50-60 grams I think.

The lightweight chassis will only save you like 20-30 grams as well. I would not buy it just to save that weight.

Hi guys,
