Anyone have any details (part numbers) for the upgraded steering assembly on the WX car? I already have the 8mm rack, is there more to it?

Cool, thanks SammyZ!

Now, can you tell me why these parts are "new and improved"?

The posts are larger in diameter and use a bigger bearing. Not sure what that does on track though

OK I get it, they're taking some slop out of the steering. Thanks

Thumbs up
It was great to see Team Yokomo support the FEMCA round ran in Sydney this weekend. Ronald Volker was in a class of his own and showed us how to drive clean consistant tight lines. It was also great to meet Masami San who gladly provided autographs to all.

A big Kudos to the Team for supporting the event and providing assistance to us local drivers over the weekend.

I sure hope the information I was provided and I can put into practice.

Thanks Team Yokomo.

Regards,

Calvin.

"Cardans of double lozenge (new similarities to the V2 de SpecR) (the original ones also are included)"

-Does that mean it comes with DCJ front Axles?

At FEMCA they were testing the new DCJ units.

So it looks like the new car will have:

- DCJ Uni's
- New Front Suspension Block 44.2mm
- New CVD blades

Over all not much so its an easy upgrade to the WXi
