I`m running blade sway bar in front (mainly set at 45 degrees), and a 1.5mm wire bar in the rear........I generally find this is quite good as a stock setup for most tracks.

I`ve found rcmart.com to be good for the NTC3 hop-ups.....they have a fairly good range of k-factory and 3- racing parts, and delivery usually takes around 5 - 7 days to get it from their store in Hong Kong to here in Australia.
Ordering directly from AE in the US is also good if youre looking for some of the genuine hop-ups to upgrade to Factory Team level.....again delivery takes about 6 days to reach here.
Cheers

I just checked that site and it looks like they have nothing in stock for the NTC3 as far as K Factory parts are concerned...

Of course, you should have that upgrade if you don't.

Ok thanks...damn, that's the 1st time I've ever heard of BRP products...
It will be a lil hard for me to get Tower to ship the items here (coz they don't...); any other place for me to get it? Else I would just settle for the rear arb from AE, which do not have the options of various wire thickness as offered by BRP...or do they?
On the blade type for the rear, even if it is set at 0 degrees...it will also be too hard for the rear? Liked the idea that it offers greater adjustability as compared to the wire type, that's why I'm asking these questions before deciding on getting the blade for the rear, that stuff aint cheap...

I personally felt that the car handles more stable on the rear, more options to play around with the roll center, and most importantly...no more ball-cups linkages popping out when you spin out and crash your rear end or you get rear-ended. Go get it, the look of the V2 rear suspension already looked fast without running it on the tracck..

They have alot of stuff on the website, but when you try to place it in your cart, it says NOT IN STOCK.

I am going to call them today and get the lowdown...

Hello,

I am contemplating selling off my kyosho v-one-rr evolution chassis in favour of a NTC3. i know of one guy who races a NTC3 and i am really starting to like this car
I am thinking of getting the factory team kit and using my old OS.12TR engine from the v-one in it eventually saving up to get a sirio or picco engine.

are there any faults in this car at all? and is there anything else that would make the car run better than it already does?

Thankyou for your help

Adam Kerr
