Hi yes I do. I set the ride height based on the track conditions. The rougher the track the greater ride height.

@@birchwoodracing thank you for replying. Raced many years with electric. Then left the sport. So decided to try nitro. Do you have any other tips for the Neo 3 nitro please. I. E The shocks seem very soft with current kit oil Some say don’t add fuel filters some say do? Do you thread lock the x4 set screws for ride height ? Thank you once again Geoff

@@geoffgathercole5828 your welcome! I didn’t threadlock the ride height screws. Best upgrade is to put proper silicon grease in all three diffs with a slightly thinner weight in the rear. And put proper shock oil in the dampers

@@birchwoodracing was thinking of 55wt

Sorry. Ment 55wt all round or 700?

The setup tip I swear by is to use a harder compound right front tyre than on the left. It made no end of improvement to the handling

I used the stock wheels that came with the kit, they are pretty smart and embossed with the Kyosho logo. For tyres as I mainly race that car on Astroturf I fitted these tyres www.modelsport.co.uk/product/schumacher-1-8th-mini-pin-yellow-26455 The yellow Minipins are as rare as hens teeth here in the UK right now and are not expected back on the shelves until April 2023!

Thank you Matt

@Planetaryjones she is HOT!

I have the kit towers fitted, not managed to break one yet.

Look for mp7.5 towers. I think king headz had some decent t ones. Anything mp7.5 is a direct fit seeing as how the neo actually is the 7.5.

@@bustedaw11 I just got a front integy for a mp777 it fit perfect

@@ls1_cammeroh i wasn't sure if the mp777 would work. I know there were some changes but I can't remember what anymore. How you like it?

@@bustedaw11 I took the chance and tried it. The picture on eBay and the stock one looked like all the holes were in the right spot. Sure enough fits perfect. Landed the car right on the shock tower didn’t bend like the stock one so I’m super happy with it going to order the rear now.

Your welcome. I was cheering you and Sid on big time that day. Interestng fact was that out of the 6 outfits in the final 3 of them were Godden V Twins and 3 were the FZR Yamaha engine.

@@birchwoodracing The event was backed by Yamaha uk i think..i remember Sids brother Ray said we better win it to keep them happy..lol..the 6 lap final destroyed our rear tyre..that is why Steve managed to catch us up..cheers Matt.

Hi, I dont think you can. I checked with my local Kyosho dealer in the UK at the time and from memory I think I had to go wiith the electric car shell and cut it down to fit the engine

@@birchwoodracing Thanks for the reply. Do you know if the bodies for the MP9 nitro will fit the Neo?

@@novideosnovideos544 to be honest I don't know. I understand that the Neo 3 is based around the MP7

@@birchwoodracing Many thanks for the reply. Any more Kyosho buggy videos coming soon from your channel?

@@novideosnovideos544 Funny you should ask that but I am literally in the process of filming and end of season video, which may well be farewell to the Kyosho hello to something newer........

Thanks, I stopped racing at that circuit after making this video due to those ramps

@@birchwoodracing Hi Matt, I don't blame you say all. The jack just seemed all wrong.. Those jumps would've been a big risk to the cars as the margin of error so small... Cheers..

Thanks, it wasnt the height so much that put me off but the "angle of take off" people were trashing their cars. Racing is expensive enough at the best of times without addicing to the cost unnessacarily

@@birchwoodracing totally agree mate.. Nice to know you have other options..

Ciao, io uso 7000 all'anteriore, 5000 al centro e 3000 o 5000 al posteriore che dipende dalle condizioni della pista

Yes, there are at least two more chassis available, TWR racing, and Rat Out Racing. Both have Facebook pages with contact details.

@@birchwoodracing Brilliant thank you so much 👍👍👍👍👍

@@dustineputtaert5792 both TWR and Rat Out Racing produce very good cars. Since I made this video two years ago I have built three oval cars from scratch using my own CNC equipment. I am so busy with my day job and the 1/8 nitro that I haven't had time to develop them properly.

I remember that meeting as if was last Sunday. I had only ever been to club grasstracks at that point (there were several a year in just West Sussex where I live and I coudl get to them by pushbike). Hearing the presentation by Tony Noel was incredible. I got chatting to him at a grasstrack a couple of years later as I recognised his voice when he spoke, I relly engangeing guy to talk wiith.

Cheap tip- mp9 sway bar sets used all over eBay swap right on. I've got both the neo and tki4 and have done just that. Paid $3 shipped for my set on my neo.

@@bustedaw11 I know this post is old but I pulled the Neo off the shelf and started running it again. Since then I did add front/rear sway bars, a much better steering servo and the big ticket item the HD coated big bore shocks front/rear with light blue springs. I'll test them this weekend at the track but I can already tell they are a huge upgrade.

Thanks, I grew up in BBH too living on the billingshurst road until we moved to charrington way when I was a teenager. I still get back there now and again to visit my parents but you wouldn’t recognise the village these days

@@birchwoodracing I made a similar video sometime ago of my bike ride from Warnham to Horsham to BBH to Warnham in 2018. These days I cycle four miles each morning around 7am for the fresh air and exercise.

Thanks, if you need any further info just ask away

Ciao, grazie per il tuo commento. Sì, l'auto di cui parli funzionerebbe perfettamente Hi, thanks for your comment. Yes the car you mention would work perfectly

@@birchwoodracing🖐️ ciao hai cambiato anche le torri delle sospensioni con quelle rinforzate?

@@Jorge-ib4xk No, li ho lasciati di serie. Se li aggiorno, userò le torri dell'MP10

@@birchwoodracing io ho una mp777 che sarebbe uguale alla neo 3.0, quindi pensi che quelli della mp10 passano anche sulla mp777?

@@Jorge-ib4xk Non sono sicuro. Ho alcune torri d'urto di riserva da un MP10, quindi proverò ad adattarle a un certo punto

Hi, to be honest I don't know. As soon as I got my car I replaced the radio gear with a sticks transmitter and RX

Thanks for your feedback. I don’t if I would build it again.

@@MA-bq8yg after the crash did you check the charge levels of the receiver pack?

Originally I thought used the Kyosho ke21sp but later changed to an OS Ronda Drako edition

Hello, thanks for your feedback. I put a 2 speed gearbox in the car.

I raced it straight out of the box

What did you get the gear box off?

Yes,, look through some of my other videos there is a part number for the clear body that I painted in my own colourscheme for the NEO 3.0

@@birchwoodracing I’m talking about like jconepts or proline they do sell for 8th scale but not for a neo I was wondering if other buggys body’s will work!

Yes, I raced mine a lot. Tune the engine and fit bitter tyres and it’s a great racer

On Astroturf I run Schumacher minie pins in yellow with the inner and outer rows of pins cut off to reduce grip roll, on grass I run schumacher minispikes again with the inner and outer rows of spikes removed. On Dirt I run AKA Impacts.

Hi, I made my own bearing press using a vice and some pieces of wood to avoid crushing the bearings.

Hi, thanks for your message. I have ragged my car a lot during racing this year and I havent had diff wear. I put this down to when I rebuild the diffs I put a small amount of normal grease on the bevels before filling them with Silicon Diff Fluid.
