Good to know, my mistake.

They didn't change the drive on the Scorpion (unfortunately), so I doubt they will on the Optima. Also, most of these modern 12mm hex wheels that you guys are looking forward to using have a 5mm bore (tamiya style) rather than the 4mm that Kyosho uses...So yeah, the wheel goes on, but it's hard to t...

I got hammered in 4wd. Not only were they better drivers, my cars were way outclassed. The belt drive rear motor was laughable...

What do you believe is the biggest detriment to the car? The overall weight, the weight distribution, or the suspension geometry?

Great collection! Love the Maxxum FF

Looks awesome!!

SO AWESOME!

Awesome video.

My "Crawltima" has 1.9" tires on Optima wheels. The difference, with the soft tires I'm using, was not enough for me to realize that I was stretching them to fit.

Sorry for no updates on this one. I'd really like to fix this up, because it's one of my "dream cars" in the RC world, but after looking at the cost of everything on Ebay, I'm thinking I might have to sell it on...I don't know that I can afford to do what I want with it.

Thanks for sharing this stuff.

I hate that this forum moves so slow.

Every time one of us sells an old Kyosho part on Ebay, maybe we should be inviting the buyer to the forum.

This thing looks really awesome.

I'm going to make a video once a get a better battery. This one I have goes soft after about 45 seconds.

Doesn't the Pro XL use the cone-drive hex washers? If the UM-614 has a hole in it, it must have pin-drive right? And therefore, they wouldn't be the same thing.
