Default Re: fw-o5r rear

hi guys..thought you should know.


check out the rear of the pre-worlds fw that won....notice that he has the NEW "RRR" rear hubs on the car.( does this chang the roll centres enough to work?)...
i notice that the rear of the fw has the same tendances as the v-one series...i reckon its because of two reasons..
1:- being the same person who designed the v-one series designed this car.
2:- they wanted to use up as much of the old tooling as they could, without being too aware that the v-one rear DOES not work...i have to modify my rear end to get it to work as i like ( i have been running the v-one series since the first v-one-r)...Simon Cammeleri and i have been trying to get the car to work...its about 90%....Simon now runs the mugen(sponsored) as he gave up with the kyosho...........
now the question is.................why release a NEW car that does not work as well as it should....i mean kyosho has a fantastic 1/8 scale, but their 1/10 tourers are not up to it....i do love the kyosho as it is very strong and we cant all run Mugens...

they also used a front rigid axl in that race.
