"Must have" parts and "nice to have" parts?

[OldTimer]

I am not sure of the size of the Kyosho diff and thrust balls, but i have in stock the following ceramic balls, not had chance to add them to the website yet. But these are what we use in the S4 & S2, and also for the B4.

12 off 3/32" Ceramic diff balls £9.50
6 off 5/64" Ceramic thrust balls £4.50

Or 12 off 3/32" Ceramic diff balls and 6 off 5/64" Ceramic thrust balls for a complete diff - £12

All plus P&P

Thanks for that, its uses 3/32" diff bearings and 1/16" thrust bearings, think the 5/64" (1/12.8") would be slightly bigger, not sure what the fit would be like with them

awesomely smooth still. shame the front shocks weren't though!!

old timers diff balls are pretty good value. the zx5 used 7 1.16 balls i think, but 6 5/64 might do it as long as they don't bind between the drive cup and the diff screw

Yeah was thinking that could be a problem with 5/64, thanks for the help guys, hope to get them ordered this week, finding the kyosho to be a great car for racing indoors, used to race a cat 3000 so finding a big change lol

I can get the 1/16 ceramic thrust balls, would take around 7/10 days to get them into stock, and £4.50 for 6 or £12 if combined with the diff balls

They will be on order monday morning and i should have them during easter week -

Also i will order some ceramic bearing sets and steel bearing sets to replace the bearings in the drive train, a set is 11 off 5x10x4mm and 5 off 10x15x4mm and they all have rubber seals.

Ceramic set = £45, Steel set = £15.
