I have finished building my kit but yet to drive it , with the experience i have seen some have with the diffs, after building mine i realized that the inner and outer movements of the cup drives were way too much so i shimmed both sides under the big gears (not sure right now of the size shims used ) but it took out most of the play without binding up the diff. i hope that will help in not stripping the gears.the only other thing i would like to find out is, has anyone had any problems with the ride height on the front of the car using the box setup.

Yesterday receive one of the first's Kyosho V-One R4 kit that arrives to Greece.

Hey people my R4 is ready waiting to be run but unfortunately it won't happen before next week.

I noticed that the rear diff is leaking diff oil, so i dismantled the rear end took out the diff and noticed that i might have tightened the screws to much as the plastic of the top cover was a bit warped. i loosened a bi tthe screws until the plastic became straight and let it upright in order to check if it leaks. Now its much better but it seems that its leaking from the screws themselves. Is it normal?

Thanks

I have bought my r4 from tunedtoys.com and they still have of it available

which is a good preload of clutch spring??

Hi,
no it is not normal ! The problem is that the top cover is too tight and don't fits on the rear diff crankcase. Isn't easy for me to explain in english what you have to do but I try: you must reduce the tooth of the internal diameter of the top cover untill the two parts (diff crankcase and cover) fits exactly. After you have done so you will be able to assemble the diff with oil and gears.

Kyosho V-One R4 85% ready.

Did not understand, can you explain in Italian since i can read very well.

Thanks

Also tonight i fitted the engine an RB RS line and the side belt is hitting the exhaust on he side not on top. Is this normal shall i add an extra washer in fron of the flywhel in order to push the engine more to the right?

Thanks

can you post a picture thanks

Provo a spiegarlo in italiano:
Il problema è che il coperchio del differenziale (parte 14) forza nell'entrare nella sede ricavata sulla parte principale del differenziale stesso (parte 13) perchè il piccolo gradino presente sul diametro interno del coperchio è più stretto della scanalatura che gira intorno il corpo principale del differenziale. Se provi a far combaciare le due parti prima ancora di posizionale i componenti interni, noterai che stringendo con le mani il coperchio (14) sul corpo del differenziale (13) il coperchio entra dal un lato della circonferenza ma si solleva dall'altro. Devi quindi carteggiare leggermente il gradino interno che gira sulla circonferenza del coperchio (14) per ridurlo fino a che lo stesso entra sul corpo principale (13) senza forzare.
Spero di essermi spiegato.
Fammi sapere e buon lavoro.

Any updates on when the hardened diff gears are coming out?
