This week has been very busy for me and I couldn't really spend as much time on it as I wanted to, but here is the published V1RRR UEX Version 0.1 Draft specification as promised.
http://www.nitrokb.com/vonerrr/V1RRR....1%20Draft.pdf
Any comments, suggestions, questions or corrections are greatly appreciated. I apologize in advance for any errors or ommissions. I know I need a table of contents and a one page parts listing in the back, but it's already 2:00 am and I have another busy day ahead of me today. I'll have more time to clean it up and work on it next week.
Thanks guys!

Hi,
I saw you mentioned in the knowledge base that:
May 5, 2006: What is the #1 must have upgrade for the V-ONE RRR? It's the Kyosho Special Main 3T/7075 Chassis for the V-ONE RRR (VZW214)
How does this chassis compare to the one from K-Factory?
I like the K-Factory design simply because it reduces the chance of your belt being popped due to small pebbles.
Looking forward to your comments.

Additions needed are:
Ceramic Bearings
Different screw sets (Hex and Titanium)
Rear hex outdrives with 2mm offset
Rear camber links with bearings (included as part of kit but need the bearings)
East rear shock mounts
Camber link plates
Plus many others.
I like the doc and will be very usefull when completed
Cheers

Everyone else seems to have chosen the VZW214. It's suppose to really improve the handling of the car. I'll be using it for the first time this weekend, but because I'm bolting on the entire Ultimate Edition package, it's going to be hard for me to discern exactly what affect that chassis has on handling.
Other than pebble protection, do you think the K Factory chassis has improved the handling of your car at all? At the Web site, it says that "...it's lightweight & low CG design help your car follow the exact racing line want." Is that true? Do you think your driving has improved with it?
It would be great if I had two duplicate stock WCEs just to do testing with, but that won't happen anytime soon. I've told motorman2 to go tell K Factory to provide some side-by-side comparison results, but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon either.

On the topic of chassis, something I keep forgetting to bring up....
If you use a "thicker" chassis then stock, if the chassis isn't milled out, you are changing the natural rollcenter of the car. The best way to have a thicker chassis is when the chassis is milled out where the bulkheads sit so the rollcenter doesn't change. Don't know if there is such thing out there with my limited research.
When I was looking at chassis option, the Skyline chassis was thicker, cheaper but the K-team SP chassis naturally is stiffer because of the lack of batts opening and yet still retain the car's natural rollcenter.

The MTX-4 optional 4mm chassis is milled and the MTX-4 guys seem to be happy with it.
V1-RRR-WC: How thick is the K Factory chassis?

If this was a thesis for your doctorate, I would have to give you an A for the work completed so far
