The new arms and hubs will be available when the V-One RRR is realeased. Kyosho drivers are testing the parts right now on thier FW-O5R. I took out my car last Thursday and some idiot decided to switch to my channel without warning which ultimately sent my car straight into the wall at the end of a 160ft straight. My car is demolished now including my Rex ReR 12. I've been too despondent to actually inspect and total up the cost of damage but just from looking at it, it's already +$500.

What really gets me over the top is that this idiot tried to say it wasn't his fault. This stuff is happening more and more often at the track.
There must be a system that can prevent this! I use an non standard channel when at practice just because of this.

How about having an emergency channel that acts on a seperate frequency that will overide all inputs and switch off the receiver allowing the failsafe to kick in.

Come on Futaba!!
