Hey Ken !!!
The old 34 I have is an Iwaver cover !!! but it is still very easy to break the front lower lip but, the rest of the car is very strong !!!
It feals about the same as the new one but, I don’t know if the Iwaver cover is stronger then the old Kyosho one !!!
As for actual testing on the track with the new 34 I don’t know as my friend doesn’t use the cover, he has it just for show !!!! (PUSSY) :smiley9:
And on the handling side … I didn’t get a chance today to try it out on the track !!! :smiley13: But I will and let you know the difference….
L8R
While I’m at it !! Here’s some pix of a friends car that I was suppose to post a while ago !! :shy:
In the first pic I know the R32 is not an AWD but, who could resist a line up of GTR’s like this !!! :smiley1:
His car has the following mods so far !!
Full BB’s
BB motor can with AWD X-speed rotor and NEO magnets
Clear Blue chassis
Shooter drive cups
C/F centre shaft
Blue alloy motor mounts and cover
5×2 fet stack
lowered 1mm all roundI also got my gear today Ken !!! (06/2) Thanks a heap !!! :clap:
The Grey/Blue chassis is far better quality then the standard one !!! it seems to be the same weight but it is much stronger !! and also looks the goods !! Now I cant wait to get some Blue alloy to complement the blue plastic parts :smiley1:
And as Z-Beam said the drift tires are a hard plastic !!! They work quite well on my vinyl kitchen floor with the 4.5 cambers and lowered 1mm all round !!!
I’ll have to wait till tomorrow (TODAY) till I find out the difference between the handling of the two chassis’s on the track but from what I hear, it makes a big one !!!
Heres some pix with the drift tires and the new chassis !!! 😯
Thanks Betty.k….. This is want we’ve done to the TX and yeah it works well.. but still a let down on ABS !!! and yes the multi memory and epa is a sweet thing for him and he is happy with the TX on his Kyosho MR01…
The car itself is still being looked at !!!
Thanks Betty.K !!
That sux then hay !!! Looks like the whole things been a waste of money then cause the car seems to be the worst IW ever !!! VERY poor quality of parts and very fragile !!!
This is the first time I’ve ever dist an IWaver !!! I like doing little things to my cars to help them perform and my first 1/28th was an LXX (before they were IWaver) and all of the issues it had were fixable !!! This was the car that got me into this scale and now I dont use anyother scale RC car !!!
AnyWay, More on the chassis L8R if we can sort it out.
Yeap, My front end is the same !!! And my drivin isn’t to bad !!! (yeah I got tickets !!! hehe ) na, but I haven’t hit anything harder then what I have with my 01’s and 2’s and the front is in bits !!
This is why I just paid for the upgrade Grey and Blue chassis from ken_wyleung… Thanks Ken, cant wait for iot to arrive !!!
Hey 86,
I have a stack in my 02 andit’s all sweet !! mine is 3×2 as well but you have better fets..
my fets donteven get remotely hot !! but,I have cut the hole where they sit a little bigger and
I also stacked my fets on a little bit of an angle towards the middle of the PCB…
Maybe the fetsare touching the batteries !!!!
It certainly makes my MR02 stick !!!!
As you know the stock diifs are dry.. SoI thought that ifI putsome lube in there itwould allow me to control howfree they are !!! put a little more in the front then the rear !!! and alsohoping that it would make the action a little smoother too…. BUT!!! I”ve decided to remove the grease now asI think it ended up making them run a little to stiff even ifI removed most of it ..so now they are dry again,louder ! but seem to run OK….
One thing that has got me stumped though is as a completely standard car with just the lowest gearing, lowered all roundand some real hard rubber tyres, it would drift awesome on my hard wood floors… now with the same setupbut with the carbon centre shaft and theAWDX-Speed motor in a BB can it will not drift at all !!!!!
Any idears guys ???
L8R
P.S. Can’t wait to my silver Atomic CVD’s and Blue Atomic cups toturn up…

I’ve got a few of these cans soldby yeah racing and so do a few mates of mine and non of us have ever had an issue with them !!!( I dont think you can buy them anymore anyway…)
I have a fewAtomic canstoo (1of which is on myplasmatomic motor) and yeah they look cool butit doesn’t proform any better then the yeah racing ones do !!! Maybe cooling but definatly no speed or torque differences, and at three times the priceI dont think it’s worth it….
Anyway, each to there own….

Yeah I have a TSC and get the same ‘problem’ as Aaron !! my AWD (unfet’ed) can pass a fully Hopped up MR01 that speed checks at 48K’s (with the rear wheels on both rear rollers)but whenI put the AWD on the TSC it only reads about 26-27k’s
Both cars motor specs:
MR01 : Kyosho X-Speed in yeah racing BB can
5×2 fet stack
42t/13t or 14t gearing (can’t remember, not my car)
MA010 : Kyosho AWD X-Speed in Yeah racing BB can
Standard fets
29t/19t gearing
I don’t know if the AWD’s reading is a truer reading then what you get with the RWD cars or ifthe AWDcan’t unload on the TSC with all four wheels tuning the rollers !!! The AWD’s seem to roam around on the TSC alot too, you have to hold on to it so it stays in line…
Also just for everyones info… With the AWD X-speed in a bb can and the above gearing the motor doesn’t even get warm after a full set of batteries worth of racing!!!! with this gearing and the standard motor, The motor would get so hot that it starts to melt the plastic cross bar in the chassis’s motorholeand burns your fingers real bad after just a few seconds of racing !!! ( I know for a fact )….. I can stillgo higher with the gearing but haven’t tried it yet..
As for my mates Fet’ed AWD I can’t test it for you right now as the drive cups have spun, so he’s waiting for his new Atomic alloy shafts and cups to arrive….. I’ll check it once there in, should be late next week…
L8R
SURE DID !!! The good thing is thatit doesn’tmake the lid flimsy like the Iwaver 01 lids did once you cut the hole….. I’ll get a pic if you want, just let us know…..
Hey 86,
Only a better connection is needed…..
Make sure that the rows of pins that are closest to the black box are the pins closest to the dot that marks pin 1 on top of the fet !! The dot should be above the top left row of pins
Make sure that the 4 rows of pins (top to bottom) in each stack arenot sorted between each other (left to right) .. make sure that all the pins in each row are connected to each other properly so it makes a continuousline top to bottom… I test each row top to bottomwith my multi meter (I build the stack out of the car then solder it to the board !!!)
Thepins that have to remain in rowsare the pins closest to the black box…
All of the pins on the rear(closest to the connectors where the motor wires go) of each stack canbe soldered together,ie: solder every single pin on the rear oftheleft stack to each other then solder every pin on the rear of theright stack to each other…. then solder each stack to the board…
Make sure all of the bottom 8 pins are connected to the pads on PCB correctly in both stacks… If you have the connections dont right, it will not get hot!!If just one pin is not done right the fets will ! get hot ….
Hope that makes sense!!! let us know how you go….

I’ve never stuffed a screw hole on any of my other Z’s and I’ve takin them apart and rebuilt them that many times it’s not funny….
A mate of mine’s AWD had a big chunk broken off thatI had to glue back on in the front end !! He did it when he hit an objectnear the end of the straight while racing !!! We’ve all hit the same thing with our 1’s and 2’s and have never broken anything !! The awd is stock so ‘maybe’ 20k impact, all our 1’s and 2’s are doing42k’s and over on the speed checker, so yeahIthink it’s just the softer plastic….
On a side note, I just installed a 5×2 stack (7317’s) on the above AWD and the difference is insane, HEAPS more punch !!!!!Cant wait for his AWD X-speed and BB can to turn up and really put it to the test!!…. I’ll be hitting you up for a fet kit Aaron if the results are as good asI think there going to be !!!!
My rear drive shafts are alittle loose, notslipping yet but do have play… this is with the out of box setup. (motor and gearing)
Two of the screw holes in the rear diff section have cracks down the lengh of them. The plastic seems to be alot softer then the 01 an 02’s..I think this may be part of how they managed to keep the weight down !!!
Other then thatI’m lovin it !! I haven’t used any of my other Z’s sinceI got this oneandI race every day !!!
So on the TO GET list is, 1 set of alloy drive shafts and 1 Gray/Blue SP chassis kit…
These AWD’s are AWESOME !!!!! I’m having a ball with it ………….
Todays the day !!!!
Betty.K : Just a little bit !!! maybe even a little TO excited !!!
2 Days to go !!!!!
6 Days to go !!!!
16 days to go !!!!
