NSX I believe HARK is making a floating body mount, but is not done yet... I ordered one for the kyosho v one rrr from rcmart, but it still hasn't arrived. Hopefully it'll fit with less mods, but in the meantime I want to see what HARK is up too also... lol
BTW did you get the new videoclip???

Yeah you are right!!! afterwards I had to rich it up a bit because I was having trouble coming out of tha turn, but that .18 really gives me a ride for my money... it's really fast, one mistake and he is on your butt. The only trouble is that it has too much power it slides all over the place...

My friend from the one with the red serpent with the .18 tz had me open the engine to see if mine was a 3 port like I kept on telling him... it was funny he tought I had a .15 5port engine when what I have is a healthy .12 3 port turbo engine... lol He couldn' believe it... Oh well

New connecting rod. You are lucky you caught it. Fairly common on a picco. horizonhobby.com may have an omega xt (made by picco) part that will fit.

But it doesn't seem to have enough space for rear sway bar...or your setup doesn't need it?

You actually need the linkages you see in the ones on the 1/8 scale cars. When the car is on your workbench, it looks fine, but the body posts will want to move when the rear suspension starts working. By connecting the body post directly to the rear uprights, you bind up the rear suspension.

Being as that english is my second language Im having trouble explaining myself, but if you see the pic you ll understand. I hope this works, while pressin the body down, all the downforce will be transferred to the tires, not the suspension...

Also I know people with English for their first language who you can barely understand on forums sometimes.
With you, I dont think I could tell unless you told me. So your doing perfect.

Has anybody played around with the reactive caster settings on the R40?
