Dan,

if your running on carpet the gear diffs will be perfect for that environment. Heck I never ran a ball diff indoors as the gear diffs worked better. Just use vaseline in the gear diff, and use a lot. Just make sure you set the slipper correctly, if it has one.

Also the pivot blocks are plastic (I guess on the inside) so may break if you do go to fast into something, but its a pretty good strong car.

Servo, do as i did and just connnect the standard servo red wire to the power lead and its quick, and it should be ok if you dont crash much. Use the crappy servo saver that kyosho use, if you have one. Otherwise pm me your address (as i have forgotten it) and will post you one, as i believe one is lying around here somewhere.

Standard Kyosho ZX5 wheels fit (as they are the same item number for the ZXR) as well and you can buy them in yellow.

.6 is the dp and the ratios with the standard spur gear is below, but i would go with the 22 and see if its in need of going up or down from there

Pinion on left

15 = 13.04
16 = 12.22
17 = 11.50
18 = 10.87
19 = 10.29
20 = 9.78
21 = 9.31
22 = 8.89
23 = 8.50
24 = 8.15
25 = 7.82
