With a GLR on the way (Thanks Again chjosi!!!) I decided to try to switch over my MR04 Open chassis into a dedicated MX5 chassis, if I could get wheels to fit under the body and not hit the arms. After some playing I was able to get 20mm N 0mm Kyo wheels to work, but they had very little room between the bottom arm and the inside rim of the wheel. They drove ok, but it bothered me with such little room and needing the ride height a little lower, so I went to 20mm N+1mm and had plenty of clearance. Im still playing with tires to get enough turn without rolling, but it's darn quick!

I also am getting my Narrow chassis tweaked with the Yaris Body. It's also a runner, though I can't be as hard in the turns on it compared to the MX5, but a bit more tweak should have it close. It's FUN to watch rip the corners! If a few more get them, maybe a Yaris 90mm MM Class?? The Yaris is a wall grabber as it comes from Kyosho, but some quick file work on the splitter and bottom front edge of the front wheel wells has it gliding off the walls almost as well as the MX5. Now to lay some paint now that it's warming up!


Im running 20mm N 0mm Flanged 6 hole PN wheels with KSK 535 LH on the front and KS-M Soft regular height N on the rear. I super glued the front sidewalls just a bit to stop the slight TR it had. Will get some times today and keep tweaking to get faster! The Yaris and the MX5 can use the same nose clip, which I'm using a 599xx carbon clip, and it fits ok, but if anyone knows of a better fitting carbon fiber nose clip, please let me know! Thanks
