Looks like a pretty easy build, and no major issues. Awesome!!
Yokomo kit quality is unreal. Instructions aren't quite Tamiya quality, but the fit and finish of parts are unlike any other kit, especially at this price point!
Cracking insight on the build of this kit. So the drilling of the shock cap, that’s something you have to do / you choose to do as it helps?
Also enjoyed the old skool Chicago / Detroit house track 😉
We just find the shocks are easier to make equal with the holes drilled. The diaphragm is there to compensate for the additional volume that the shaft takes up on compression. If it's sealed above this, the air trapped can act like a spring, which works well in an off road shock, but can make shorter shocks difficult to get consistent. Also means that the oil damps and the spring rebounds.
For tyres, we're running a control tyre at our club. Rush I believe. Body wise, it's personal but an Extreme Twister is always a good place to start! :) hope that helps!
Another couple of questions… I’m guessing no wheels and tires in the kit, what would you recommend for carpet. Similarly what body shell do you run?
No wheels or tyres in the kit. It's not a bad thing, I used to have loads of those useless Proline treaded things from tc3s etc years ago! We run control tyres at our club. They're the same tyre as the BRCA nationals.
For bodies , start with an Extreme Twister and go from there. This car will run an HPI Impreza Type C, because I've 4 of them, I bought them cheap and my young fella is hard on them!! 😂😂
