1st thing, the steering assembly has so much slop/play in it. Whats the fix for this?
2nd, one of the shocks is leaking. I believe its the cap thats overtightened or maybe the bleeder? is this a common issue?
Other than that, I suppose its pretty solid. It has a gear diff..is a gear diff ideal for a high bite clay track? Running mid motor config.
I would suggest tearing down the whole truck or at least the front end and rebuild it using the manual online from Kyosho. Some cars just have more play than others in the front end but at least rebuilding it you can have a piece of mind that it was done right.
As far as the shocks, I recently had the same issue with my ZX-6 when rebuilding them. They leaked even with new seals. I rebuilt them three times and they still leaked at the cap. After replacing almost everything I finally bought new caps and it stopped the leaking. The weird thing was all of them were leaking. They all were just perfectly fine before I rebuilt them. Ive own almost ever Kyosho thru the years and that's never happened and hopefully it's the last time.
