from wat i quote from the supplier 1 week ago.

the Regular kits: Just normal FW05R

The Hop Up kits: has One Way front, stronger graphite radio, and stronger chassis, and come with 4 original foam wheels. it's about $90-120 more, i think it worth the money.

Unless you've got the Oneway front, and buy those bit and pieces.

Actually i am trying to look for more info about it. I guess that Hop-up kits there only avialable from HK, coz many other places doesnt have it,


Hope that help
thanks

andy

The hop-up version #31582 will be available in the US next year.

The differences are:

-Shimo Chassis
-Graphite radio tray
-Front One-way
-Different spring combo

There is also a different setup

There are 3 things you must have on the car:

-Steel ring gears(37T if you run on a medium to large track)
-Aluminum Brake Holder
-APP Brake set or the brake disk alone(the APP doesn't fade as much)

Just fix the on-way unit on my 05R. Haven't test run it yet? What to look for when running front one-way? I'm so used to gear diff, I find it strange driving with one way.

Default Pipes

I have been testing the Kyosho 5.2mm pipe and the 6mm pipe between different tracks and different engine and gear ratio. I think I can say conclusively that the 5.2 is superior in nearly everyway. One would think the 6mm pipe will give you more top end but it seems the opposite is true in this case. It seems that you can run leaner with the 5.2mm pipe without overheating and reallly bring the top end out of the motor.

Anybody interested in the NIB 6mm 1pc Miekle pipe for FW05R? The pipe look like the same one that was on the MTX3 prospec but was for FW05R. The pipe run well, strong and have a chrome finished. I am selling it cos I am driving the V1RRR for now.
