Tried the car with Gold front springs and lower weight oil. Felt better but still had too much steering for me. Move the hub spacers and lengthened the wheelbase by about 4mm that had a market effect...

Does anyone know if there is a source for the plastic outdrive pucks for the aluminium universals on their own? Or from an alternative brand? Seems that you can only get them from Kyosho bundles...

Thank you. Yeah I think I need to drop oil weight to slow the steering response / take off some edginess and i think it will help reduce traction rolling too as small bumps won't impart as much force...

Thanks. I will definitely drop down a spring rate up front as well as drop oil weight 50cst. I assumed the front high jumping may have been more from the torque effect of the motor accelerating...

Looks like the weight distribution with the laydown transmission is quite front heavy as expected. Currently, the bias is sitting at about 40-41% front with a brass rear suspension block. Not sure...

Great thanks.

Sounds like I won't bother with the front wing. I'll give the car a try setup as it is (4 gear laydown, flat arms etc) and make changes from there. I do have the slipper...

According to Kyosho Europe there are no plans to produce new 1/10 off road racing kits, and seemingly an explicit decision to not do so. Parts will apparently continue to be produced - so hopefully...

It would be great if Kyosho gave some indication of their plans. Let people know if they plan to release any 1/10th 2wd or 4wd buggy kits or if they plan not to. Would also be good to know if they...

I just read that Kyosho were bought out by Shinsei Bank in 2018. I guess it's likely that profit maximisation became an even greater focus at that point and 1/10 race kits and the development and...

I wonder why 1/10 was seemingly scrapped but not 1/8 or any of the new vintage kits or plethora of 1/10 on road replica style kits.

Hopefully they continue to produce spare parts at least. ...
