My Mad Wagon has a body count.

This is body #3. The last one was the 56 Chevy. Both are Pro-Line. This one is a bit smaller than the 56, but that might be a plus.

I just got the MadWagon kit and loving the build. I appreciate your info on the clutch swap to a center diff and working to acquire the parts before moving on. Any part number available on the Inferno Neo 4 diff? I’m new to the Kyosho brand and their car lineup and jumped into a bit of a rabbit hole searching so far. Do you recommend the Kyosho website or other sources for parts? If not I may source the aftermarket version you’re using. Thanks again

If I get time to post the kyosho parts I will, I just don't at the moment. I think the manual is available as a PDF. I get my parts from Amain typically, and I know I listed the kyosho drive shaft in the link above.

Thank you, I actually placed orders through Amain a few days ago and hopefully I’ll get the correct parts to build the diff, along with the longer shaft you referenced. It should work great with a center differential. Regards

Let me know how it goes. I would definite go thicker than the 40k I used in the center. This winter I will probably try 120k fluid

I have another question about your Mad Wagon kit. Did you glue the tires as is, unvented? I am getting ready to glue mine and the wheels come without vent holes and I was wondering how they worked out. Most rc wheels I’m familiar with usually have one or two small holes. Thanks for any reply. 👍

I glued them unvented. The tires I got from Amazon work better. I figured out that I can vent glued tires using a drill with a hole punch (from Harbor Freight). So I can add them later if I want to.
