Those are secret

But I got a news, the small 2 speed will come with 3.0 and the front diff case can be shimmed to reduce more kick up with the new FR RR suspension mount and shim set.

Yes the 2.0 is easily upgradable to the 3.0 just buy the new bit. I'm hoping for a upgrade set as buying the piece parts might prove expensive. The 2.0 car is very good indeed but the 3.0 is a great update to the platform. I don't think you need to wait long now for the 3.0 kit release. Maybe end of February is my guess.

Just realised it isn't my place to be sharing information which has not been made officially public yet by the company.

thx for the reply. current situation is i get a new 2.0 kit and upgrading it with a couple hundred dollars of option parts and upgrade later to 3.0 specs when the parts come out. or would i be better of waiting for the 3.0 to come out?

I installed the new shock towers and shock mount, the shock position is now lower and more incline. I can use soft spring for bumpy track

Default New GT engine

I'm in the process of getting a new motor that's a little more powerful than my current ison GT. My options are the OS .21 XZ-B or wait for the new MITO-35GT5.
I need some feedback, has anyone used the OS and how is it tunability, power and performance wise? Would it be worth to buy that now or wait for the new MITO?

The OS is a great motor based on a buggy engine. I'd definitely wait for the Novarossi MITO-5GT5 it will be incredible and I think it will be the engine for GT this year. The Mito GT engine is based of the WC winning onroad MITO and not an offroad engine so it should be very very good.

Thumbs up

This engine sounds good Novarossi MITO-5GT5. Along with my new 3.0 even better. When I get it. I'm still making the the show with the 1.0, so it only will be that much better.

I wish the MITO was out already so I can read actual feedback from owners. Times like this I wish I had a nice prism glass that lets me peek into the future. There's actual results of the OS performance from the IFMAR 1/8 GT world championship so I know it can perform.
