But they are available in alu, so that's a sure buy for me now.

The front diff cover also got broken in half, just where the plastic goes under the shock tower mount, where the hole in the body is supposed to be placed.

Might want to double check those shock shafts. Make sure they didn't bend.

And looks good!
Well driven....

I would like the K1 too, but i just bought a dex410v3 a view weeks ago, witch didn't see the track, till now!

[cryer-evo]

Is there any good set ups yet for the k1 on carpet ?

[Robocop]

How many parts fit the k1 from the sx3. Fancy one but like to know what fits as if parts do i will strip my sx 3 for the spares,, think i have most option parts on it

Thanks

Probably not as much a problem with the car but how it was driven I have yet to break one on my SVR

Here's a link to the upper alloy mounts...

front and rear arms , hubs , arm mounts ( apart from the 4mm hole in rear mount ) and ive just fitted a sx front and rear alloy shock tower mounts , with a bit of modification !! mines almost done , ive just got to drill my rear alloy holders ..

I'm still keeping my blinged up sx3 , for the price they're selling for , its worth keeping for a spare runner

its not like theyre bad anyway , but they have certainly simplified the k1

[badger5]

Rear arms are different Shaun. Will be interesting in how you modified the SX alloy upper transmission bulkheads, and chance of some pics?
I suppose you be racing it at Torch next Sunday then?

hey rich , im not sure how the arms are different then ? ( maybe different flex ?) theyre the same as i have in my spares box !! and yeah ill be at torch next , soo you can take a peak !! ..

[DeMogoobra]

Anyone notice a squeaky sound when breaking? Not the diffs. It occurs even when holding the car in the air.
Have been playing with the gear mesh but it won't go away. Sounds its like the very small pinion agains the large spur gear. Is it a harder spur than usual or what? Sounds hard plastic like.

If one wants to convert over to hexes on this car, what's needed? I know the car already have hexes included for the front wheels, but i noticed here the other day, this was with some jconecpt front wheels if i remember correctly, that they binded when the screw that holds the wheel in placed was screwed in place.

So i guess only some front wheels will work? Some wheels where the hex in the wheel isn't as deep? Like the "old" Losi 4wd front wheels? Or is there a set of wheel adapters i can purchase and use for the front that makes hex wheels work "better"?

Haven't tried for the rear wheels yet, so what is recommend there?

[autoxvw]

Use B44 front hexes. That way you can use either b44 front wheels or xx4/xxx4 fronts as well. The b4/b44 new 12mm rear hexes work great as well. When using the rear hex you need to trim down the roll pin.
