newbie question. How does looser front and stiffer rear handles?

Glad I saw this now. I have to save my "quota" for the Super Astute.

I enjoy building my TD2 a lot. If I don't already have TD2, I would jump on the deal.

I have both. Kinda of. I road my TT02 on road and the Fazer MkII (Rage 2.0) as a beater. I have yet broke something on the TT02, but the Rage was TOUGH. I broke a front up right, stripped a hex hub, cracked the front suspension support (crap, forgot what it called). But the car took TONS of ABUSE, including just hand it to a bunch of 8 year old kids with no supervision, and all they want to see is how it crash. I found that I enjoy building / rebuilding the Fazer more. The thing I wished is Rage 2.0 is RTR , I would love if Kyosho release it as a kit.

thank you for clarifying how to do the decals. the windows decal helps too.

btw, what is the shade of green on the decal? wondering if there is a matching paint for the color.

quite a list. thanks for the suggestion. just wondering, why getting rid of the aluminum gear? easy to break?

What are some good hop for Top Force re-re? I don't think it comes with bearing, so that would be a must have. I am thinking aftermarket turnbuckles. the car is not for racing, just general driving around. and will be running brushed motor with NiMH.

Great thread. I will work on mine some day is there a list of what bearing to get to complete the build? I am going to look into order the front suspension metal part as well.

About to start building my Astute 2022, any tips? Building it stock, looking to build it with mild brushless. haven't decided yet. Just for bashing, not racing.

Interesting. but what I am afraid of is would it put more stress on other parts, and some else might break more easily?

I already got the BlockHead HotShot II. It will be a runner. But I am thinking if I should consider Boomerang or Thundershot as a beater. Or they are too "close to each other" and I should consider something else (TT02B?)

Whats the difference between the re-re of Boomerrang, Hotshot II and Thunder shot? They are all mono shock up front, independent shocks in the rear, the drivetrain seems to be the same?

Sounds like Kyosho is pushing the limit to make as many parts in plastic as possible. I am still on the fence for this one vs the Genova and BBX. I am actually leaning towards BBX thinking it may have more ground clearance for bashing.
