This car is a lot tougher than the NTC3. I have however noticed a problem with the way the top end of the shocks are mounted. It's a stupid design where they use a set screw in the shock tower then screw on the shock. I'm going to change this to the way my Mugen was with a screw and nut on the other end of the shock tower. Other than that( which is just a silly little design fault that is also on the V-one-R), this car is plenty tough enough(pending one-way installation).

Hi Zen;

I am currently running my FW05R on foam with a OS TR 5 port in a technical track and my setup are as follows;

Front Shock Position - inner hole on tower, upper hole on arm (default)
Front Shock oil - #350 with standard piston
Front Spring - Fantom Red 4517
Ride Height - 4.5mm @ 64mm dia tyres
Shore - GRP 37
Diff oil - 50K
Roll bar - Flat 180 deg
Caster - 2mm
Camber - 2deg
Toe out - 1 deg
Width - 198.5
Down Droop - 1mm

Rear Shock Position - Middle hole on tower, upper hole with short ball joint (just like the front)
Rear Shock oil - #450 with standard piston
Rear Spring - Fantom Red 1.8mm
Ride Height - 5mm @ 64mm dia tyres
Shore - GRP 37
Diff oil - 10K
Roll bar - Black
Camber - 3deg
Toe in - 2.5 deg
Width - 199
Roll Centre - Inner - upper hole, Outside upper hole
Roll centre block - L
Down droop - 6mm

Building tips
- Please take note the when building the 2nd speed, refer to my earlier post on what I have done to mine.
- The original plastic retainer for the pivot ball will have some binding, you can either replace them with delrin from Kawahara or enlarge the hole of the plastic retainer larger
- I have also change the front to UJ as the original bone will rub on the outdrive when you have too much steering.
- Make sure you fasten the fuel tank just tight enought for some slight movement to much movement will cos the brake coupler to have contact with the tank
- Remove the pin that hold the brake disk, put some permanent threadlock on the pin and put it back, this will prevent the pin from coming loose.
- Make sure that you shim the crown gear properly and apply high temp grease (I used Tamiya Ceramic Grease)

Everything was stock when I weighted the last time, now I have the Carbon Shock towers, top deck and Alum centre shaft and lighted 2nd speed holder. I have also plan to change the chassis. Hopefully I can drop the weight to below 1800

what kind of engine will fit the car? and i wat kind of battery pack does it take? i want to get all the part for it and then buy the kit and put it together all at once. what kind of engine would work on the car for racing? hanx

Check with JustRC, I got my engine and pipe from them. Due with the gearing issues, it is good ideal to use a fast engine. I used Max .12 and I am really happen with the kit.

Check www.justrc.com and give them a call.

If i want to get bigger pinions what corresponding spur gears would I have to get? Does anyone have a something along the lines of a chart that matches up pinions to spurs? I want to get the 22 and 27 tooth pinions, so would that mean I have to get the 50 and 45 tooth spur gears?

not necessary....maintain the spur 51/46....try pinion 22/27 first...if u find tat u still lack the top speed then go for the spur 50/45....I'm still waiting for the 39 T crown teeth....chk with ur ste up sheet..shuld tell u the gear ratio for spur n pinion...
