sean-vrs Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 So its here and..... Yea it's a massive kit, You'll have to bare with me chaps as I'm on a crappy 11hr day shift, it's a lovely thing to look through not had a kyosho before but on first glance it looks very pretty! This is the VE//GP kit so comes with the optional extras and also the option to run brushless or nitro 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 So do tell, are you going brushless or nitro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Brushless, 2200kv mamba combo mate. It's got the uprated shafts and spur let's hope they can take 6s abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-BEZ- Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 That kit is crying out for a 1717 imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 That kit is crying out for a 1717 imo They have a suspected weak diff I think it would cry at the sight of a 1717 can Don't think it would squeeze in either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'll try one for size Bloody awesome kit Sean, looking forward to the build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 1717 is too fat. I tried. As it's only 2wd, anything from 1800kv to 2200kv will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-BEZ- Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Damn that's a shame, as ever since seeing one of these i thought a 1717 would be ideal. oh well plenty of other RC's out there to overpower muhahahahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Overpowering it would be easy, 2200kv on 6S would almost certainly be all it'd take. I'm happy with the diff now, it's had at least a dozen 6S runs with the 1800kv and has soaked it up. Top speed with stock gearing is about 41 mph, for its size this is reasonable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'll try one for size Bloody awesome kit Sean, looking forward to the build Yea I was overwhelmed at the volume of parts it's very generous to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Got a few days off and an a couple hours spare today so I've cracked on with the build. Goes together really well, hopefully get more done tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Gone blue! Good choice I think, the stock piccies do the colour no justice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yea it's subtle enough I think it's only front arms, side vents and slipper cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Not using the wheels and other bits then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yea slight overlook lol, it's going be big I know that much the rear tower is the same size as a 5ive I'm sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 They're quite a lump, but will put in a good turn of speed. I still can't decide on the blue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brit_bulldog Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 For the diffs i reccomend the Kyosho IF102 gears as being stronger than the original ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yea I've seen that the diffs can be problematic I've shimmed it and gone with 5000wt oil to try an help them out. I'm sure 6s will test the diff well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm running the 102 gears and 3000wt, only 6S, but with 1800kv, not 2200kv. All good at the mo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
