First off: HELP!!!
Second: what do you call that thing in the back that houses the
gears,supports the wheels, and holds the shocks?

I need help with this car as stated above. Heres the problem:

When I push it along the ground, the gears rotate but they become harder to
turn at a certain point of every turn. Well, i've seem to almost pinpoint
the problem to the rear of the car, in that housing thing i mentioned above.
i've removed it from the center chassis and when i repositioned it in a
different way(i think so the rods may be straightened but i'm not too sure).
That point where it seemed to lock up disappeared.  The trouble is trying to
keep it in that position.  I can't make any new holes because it is too
close to the original hole and when i try, the screws slip into the original
hole and i'm afraid of making one big hole where the screws do not fit
tightly.
Any Ideas on fixing this. I've thought about buying one of those housing
things but i don't know which is right. Plus its impossible to find because
Kyosho has this model discontinued.
HELP!!!

P.S. Can someone at least point to what part i'm referring to from this
discontined section of kyosho's website.

and can someone tell me where i can get the body too?

THANKS A LOT

I dont have this car, but i'll try...
the things that *generally* sandwich the rear
differential and connect the suspension arms and
shocks are the "FD-18  REAR BULKHEAD"

The thing in the middle with the one shaft cup
pointing forward and the two cups on each side is
the differential. Its made up of the outer case:
FD-62 FINAL DIFF CASE CAST. This pack includes the
main bevel and pinion gears too.
Inside the diff is an internal set of  small bevel
gears, often called 'spider gears' these are:
OT-028 DIFF GEAR SET

Tower has many of these parts in stock. First you
need the part # from kyosho's website, then enter
it in towers Search bar.

In my experience with my QRC, (which uses manyof
the same parts) This sounds like you may have
damaged your diff bevel or pinion gear. Its also
possible that you have a speck of dirt wedged into
one of the teeth of those gears. Take it apart and
closely examine the gears.

Another possibility is that you may have binding
in one of your swingshafts. (dogbones, halfshafts,
whatever you wanna call em) This commonly happens
when they run at too much of an angle - maybe you
jacked up the suspension a bit for more ground
clearance??

Also check eack bearing in the drive train.
Sometimes when bearings begin to come apart, they
jam now and then...Take the drivetrain apart and
check each bearing individually by spinning the
shaft that belongs in it.

This makes me suspect the dogbone and joint
between the rear diff and the center diff. If this
is worn or bent or full of dirt, you may get some
binding. Also check to make sure the chassis isnt
bent. If it is, the center and rear diffs may be
too close together and jamming the dogbone.

The good news is that most of these parts are
cheap and available. The bad news is that you have
some disassembly to do to find your problem!
Lemme know if ya need more help, Mike

The part is the REAR BULKHEAD ZRNTORTH (FD-18)

Lower the Ride height I have owned quite a few kyosho cars and they all seem
to have the same problem that the default ride height is too high and the
Dogbones get caught on the holders there should be a worm***in the lower
suspension arms tighten that will lower the ride height

If it's not that then check the rear Diff's there is a small worm***in
the diff case if this is not recessed into the diff case not too much though
about half a turn from flush will do

also check every tooth in the assebly this can be a sign of a a missing or
stray tooth

doh

stupid me
i found out what the problem was AFTER i took EVERYTHING apart and put it
back together.
well here was the problem, excuse me for not knowing the vocabulary.
the the rod that looks like the rod had just kept scraping on the back of
the engine ( the pull starter box). all i did wast jus file some of the
platic off and voila, it was working fine again.
thanx for the attention.
