Well the reason guys are trying these cars over the TC3 is reliability. The TC3's are fragile. Everytime you turn around you break. So if you are a half a lap ahead, it wont matter if you get bumped into a wall and break. I am an off-road guy, and bought one of these to compete, but my 1/8 scale broke, so i need to repair it and focus on what i am decent at racing rather than something new, LOL. These have internally adjustable pistons in the shocks for easy dampening changes, a thick chassis, a truly world class car. GS really did their homework. I wish i could afford to race it, but right now i cant. Someone can really benefit if they are looking at buying a new one.

It is a great car, I ran it all season long and didnt break one plastic part on it.

4 to 5 months now ,
been in 2 races and weekend bashing.
i've been in quite a few reasonable crashes
and roll over....

the universal shaft, and the tank lid cover( this lid cover was the only broken parts when i hit

i'm thinking off getting a new motor for my vision..right now its powered by os 12tr..very good engine only the low end its not enough..
so either the rb x12(5 port) or novarossi rs (5 port)...hard to make
a decision between these 2...maybe anyone
can help.

KawadaKid · #84 02-26-2003, 04:42 PM

Both of those are excelent choices.

Hello my friends,
I just purchased a vision pro and have a few questions. While reading the manual, it says to use 7000 wt diff lube for the front and 3000 wt in the rear. And it also calls for 3000 wt diff lube in the shocks. What is 3000 diff lube equivilent to in shock wt oil? To me, 3000 wt looks like maybe 80 or 90 wt shock oil. I have already bought the 7 & 3000 wt diff lubes and I currently have a variety of shock wt oil from my previous cars. I was just wondering what the conversion is, or do any of you have a suggestion for a starting point for the shock wt oil? Thank you for your time.

rc_king1 · #87 03-05-2003, 03:52 PM

I'm just trying to keep this at the top. What shock wt oil to start with? What shock wt. oil is equal to 3000 wt. diff lube? Thanks.

rcabj · #88 03-06-2003, 04:18 AM

hi there...

don't really know about the conversion...

but for your info i've use the 1000 cps shock oil
thats come with the kit...seems ok to me..already
went through 3 races...and there not bad...

but still u can try out those wt oils and see
if there r any difference...

bye...

don't forget those shocks r adjustable...

rcabj · #89 03-06-2003, 04:24 AM

i've used 3000 cps diff oil that comes with the kit initially for the front and rear diff.....

but now i'm using 50000 front and 10000 cps
rear...

..anyway enjoy the car...it's worth it...

KawadaKid · #90 03-06-2003, 11:02 PM

I ran 60w oil all the way round in my shocks, and 50,000 diff lube in the front and 5,000 in the back diff. I dont know any conversion. Try GS Red springs in front and GS Blue springs in back. Stock sway bar in back and Fioroni blade sway bar recomended for the front. Any other questions email me, i should be able to get ur car pretty well hooked up.

Hey guys, thanks for all the input.

roxx · #92 03-12-2003, 08:37 PM

I just purchased a Vision Pro today and i am going to start the assembly tonite! Any tips or hints besides what is in the manual? Thanks for your time!

KawadaKid · #93 03-12-2003, 09:25 PM

Be sure to super glue the brake pad material to the "calipers". This will help prevent brake fadeing. Also, make sure that u use the softer of the two springs when building the clutch and apply thread locking compound to the clutch adjustment nut.

Any other questions be sure to E-mail me at KawadaKid@hotmail.com

rc_king1 · #94 03-14-2003, 12:06 PM

KawadaKid, why do you say to use the softer spring for the clutch?

KawadaKid · #95 03-14-2003, 07:00 PM

I was told by Garen from General Silicones a while back to use the softer spring so that is what I will recomend. The hard one does not work properly sometimes, or at least the ones included in earlier kits.

Another question for you. When measuring the width of the car(200 mm), do I measure it with the tires on or do I leave the tires off and just measure axle tip to axle tip?

KawadaKid · #97 03-17-2003, 08:12 PM

First, i would find the center of the car then measure from the center to the outside of the wheel then do the same to the other side. Its key to makesure that its even on both sides.

sofa · #98 03-19-2003, 06:46 PM

Has anyone had a problem with the rear dogbones being to long? Using the factory settings, the pivot balls are in to far, causing the bone to hit against the diff when the bone is level, and not allowing the arm to go up any further.
Am I missing something?

KawadaKid · #99 03-19-2003, 10:31 PM

Hmm, This is a new one to me....

I would try using settings other than the manual and re check ur width and toe in the back. If changing that doesnt help, E-mail me and i can help you furthermore.

I realize the same problem in my car. If you want to make your car less than 200 mm in the rear, the dogbones hit against the diff when the suspension travels downwards. It helps removing some material in the pivot balls making them flat.
