OH and Squizzy, JR and Futaba are Japanese companies, not Malaysian or Taiwanese, Hitec is Taiwanese though, and personally i stear clear of anything made in Taiwan, sketchy ussually. I'm sure all the high end servos are Japanese make; maybe Futaba, JR, KO, Sanwa assembles some of there less expensive servos in Taiwan or something though.

But still, I LOVE Futaba
So far I only know that the lower end JR radios are made in Malaysia. Not sure about servos.
Airtronics / Sanwa are probably made in Singapore. Singapore has defintiely got a factory over there. Maybe Malaysia too but not too sure.

there are alot of enginens that fit this bill, all depends on what your after.
Ease of tuning stay with OS
Shear speed and torque, get a hand mod engine from reputable tuner, but cost more than $200 bones
what are the people running at your track?
I would put pipes in the same catagory, but RBX12 is a good pipe
rather soft so stay away from the boards
Flywheel stock one is good, not unless you manage to get the Kawahara low engine mounts and flywheel/ centax clutch
Isnt it snowing there? don't you got to wait untill ground hogs day to find out when it is safe to run your car

I wouldnt worry about the fly wheel, as for the engine, I like my RB X12, its really nice. Fast and very reliable thus far. I'm planning on getting a Zac modified OS 12TR soon; just to see how it compares to my RB. But NovaRossi, RB, Rossi, Sirio, OS will all do the trick im sure. Maybe some more knowledgable and experienced people can give you a better idea than I can. I'm very new to this myself as well.

servos
The other thing that goes on is that some parts are made with identical part numbers in overseas factories and supplied to countries like Australia whereas the US would get the Japanese manufactured products.
By the way if anyone wishes to recomend a really good servo please do so!
Also calimassive..what servos are you running and what do you mean by unresponsive?
I suppose one of the factors that effects me is that I primarily run rubber tyres on a med/low-traction track so torque is not a great factor however the-rr is going to be run on a high-traction track with foams so it could be interesting!

Yes, it will overdrive the front with a smaller side pulley.
But the thing is when only the front is pulling the car, wouldn't it be dragging the rear wheels then? Can this be faster than when the overdrive is 1:1?

At slower speeds the drivetrain is pretty much 1:1 under power with overdrive. But as speeds increase the front wheels travel faster and actually "disconnect" from the drivetrain to effectively mean the car is mostly RWD. This really is one of the main reasons for overdrive on a touring car since both our front and rear wheels are normally the same size.

1. Better driver skill (race speed)
2. Better engine (straight line speed)
3. Higher pinion gears (straight line speed)
