Kyosho?

looking at those hi-res pics on facebook i think the Porsche 956 and Mazda LMP are a little high, too much ground clearance. the details are awesome, but why have those cars be that high?
The 917K ist okay, but also the Murcielago seems high to me. okay, compared to a Go! car, they are still low.

what´s the difference between the normal motor and the "pro"?
any specifications like rpm or gcm?
what´s the weight of the RTR car?
which kind of tires are the stock tires? rubber, pur, sillicone?

the video is nice and the shown ground clearance of the 962 is shocking, not talking of the Mazda.

the guard rails are nice!

a SlideGuide® would help to get the wheels to touch the track, but the nose would still be high. Sanding the guide plate would lower it a little, but for sure not enough.
Can the front mounting point be changed or is there simply not enough space under the body to get the front down?

maybe US get´s 917s with wheels on the track, but here in Austria, ordered from Germany, front wheels high in the air, with absolutely no chance to get them on the track. If you file down the guide, nothing will be left.
The guide will have be changed to get the front wheels down.
As the guide is under the front axle, it also needs to go a little further in front for my feelings. I´m waiting to get some urethane tires, than i´ll rework the 917.
No problem on the 962, but the 917 is a wheely car.
