k0di did you go with the FM or the RM? I think you're going to love the shi7 out of it!
If you don't already have one on hand you'll need a 64p pinion gear (26-30t). I found my standard sized servo was 2mm too high for the supplied servo mounts. Not sure if this is a problem on the RM.
I got the front motor one. Thanks for the information. I should have my by next Tuesday I order it from rcwillpower.

New colors make more sense than new wheels or anything like that, I don't think he would refer to it as big. I was thinking maybe incorporate the xxx-d-vip steering into the other chassis, or something of that nature.
I mean, they designed the xxx-d-vip after the ms. Moving forward. It must be better. That's kind of why I was asking.
has anyone heard more about this? sorry not trying to thread jack.
I tbought the big announcement was just a new wheel design?

I dunno. I think they had already announced that about a week before I read the post. It's probably small and I'm hoping for something great. I would really like higher CS options, more than 2.0. I've got 2.4 on my RTR and I love it. Except for the long drifts, I adjusted to it right away, felt super natural. Thing is, I don't want to put Sakura, HPI and Rhobby parts on my MS-01D VIP.
Anyway, enough about me, I've been following your guys threads. Could one of you put up a video of the steering mechanism on the XXX? From the top or whatever, left to right. Are you guys maxing out the CVDs?
No vid but here's a pic from this site:

Rather than the standard bellcrank its a steering rack not too different from the old AE TC3's steering setup. I think (but im probably wrong) that this setup gives less ackerman changes throughout its range of travel.
I know I'm not maxing out my CVD's since I've actually reduced my range of travel.
My buddy just got his XXX-D VIP RM today. Sexy beast!

Only visible differences are the gearbox housings and the obvious rear-mid motor mount. The countersteer gearsets for this car will require the short quick release arbor (210244)
sorry to nit pick but isn't it the RM
Lol my bad! I was looking at my car when I wrote that!
lol yeah sorry to pull you up I'm a bit pedantic like that lol. I am so jealous of you buggers tho I still have to wait till march 16th till I can order
