Good to see the screws per step! I’ll definitely be picking one up!

These videos are always interesting even if you aren't looking to buy that particular model. The Japanese sticker says ヨコモ which is Yokomo

I’ve been waiting for this one. Picked one up last week and haven’t started it yet.

He is back, big W

FYI, the manual shows its 9.9 FDR using the supplied 83T spur and 24T pinion, but AFAIK that's wrong and by Yokomo gear chart is 8.992 FDR. I swapped mine back to 84T Axion spur and 20T pinion for 10.920 FDR that I'm used to with a 13.5T motor. The front lower arms are new and 4.5mm diameter arm adapters instead of current older 5mm ones. The springs are some new version and they are long and soft IMO, being 1.14mm wire size and same springs front and rear seems to make it lift the noise up a lot on throttle for the front & rear weight bias of this chassis. Car tends to body roll a little bit also and using 50Cst oil doesn't help it much, but it still works. The front and rear knuckles are from the SD2.0. Rear RR sus mount is new since they pushed the gearbox back way further and the arms are more forwards. I have already swapped my shocks to Yokomo Big Bores using 1.4mm 4 hole pistons with 150Cst oil and set for 11.4mm shaft length to match the stock plastic shocks. I also swapped out front and rear shock towers for aluminum, as well as the front bulkhead and rear upper arm mount to aluminum also. I use 5K diff oil with the AL lightweight drive cups instead of stock steel ones. The plastic hexes are swapped for 8mm front and 5mm rear, but I also put 1mm spacer on the rear 5mm rear hexes to make it 6mm, since the rear track is narrower by 2mm compared to previous cars. This car loves to swing and hold out the rear angle a lot on throttle, like a SD2.0, but it tends to be harder to transition quickly for me. I will most like try SD2.0 springs or Reve D "R-Tune" 2WS springs and move the motor forwards or move the ESC to front side on top deck like the SD2.0. Also note, you may need to add a 0.5mm to 1mm spacer to the upper deck front & rear or shave the turnbuckle slightly on the top side or even swap it to 4.3mm, as it may just touch the lower side of the upper deck, so make sure to check that. Could also use an adjustable servo arm set to 19-19.5mm instead of the stock plastic one which I think is set to 20mm length hole space. As for servo position, it sits slight back using the rear mounting holes, so it not a straight angle on the servo horn to bellcrank arm and needs to be actually positioned slightly off-center and to the right a little when looking from the front of the car to get even EPA setting values more even in your radio trim settings. The outer curved turnbuckle is a new 30deg version, unlike like previous ones you get with the current turn buckle sets. I also used the AL stopper pin instead of the M3 set screws in the front knuckles. There's AL option parts coming, Y2-008RAW is the AL H-Arms that fit the SD2.0 & RD2.0, which it seems can also have weighted plates bolted to them as an option, Y2-415SAA is the SP Aluminum SP front knuckles for SD/RD2.0 & then there's Y2-202BB which is a new AL bell crank base that allows movement of the steering bellcrank forwards for more steering Ackermann adjustment, not just using the bar with shims like it comes with stock. As a side note, at least I see what all those extra booklets and the sticker sheet looks like that it came with, as I never opened that up in the kit since I got it, lol

Really curious about the shakedown once the time comes

Yes! Finally

I just want the steering setup, i hope they sell it seperately so i dont have to rob a kit.

higher ends kits with no pinion just tells me "you spent a lot so you figure what type of ratio you want".. lower end kits with the pinions says "hey rookie..since you dont know what youre doing yet..well figure it out for you.."

Can you please chceck what’s the maximum spur gear that RD2.0 can accomodate? From the pictures I worry that it would be 84T. I’m asking because where I drift we tend to go for high FDR - like 14+.

Which one is the best? Rd2.0 or reve d rdx?

@carbonfuryrc is dropping carbon chassis kits for this imminently! IE THIS WEEKEND! 🎉
