We have made few small updates in the latest T1 kits.
1) Hex screws for chassis
All the 3x6 Philips-head screws used for chassis have been replaced by 3x6mm hex-drive screws. We have received numerous requests for these, since most of the countries prefer the hex screws. |

2) Nylon Hubs
The alloy ball-bearing hubs that are pressed into bulkheads have been replaced by nylon hubs. The alloy hubs work great, but they sometimes require small modification to be made because some of the ball-bearings that are produced with certain tolerances fit the hub very closely. If the ball-bearings do not turn freely, they reduce the performance; this is unacceptable. Most drivers modify their alloy hubs using sandpaper, and roughen the inside of the hub a little bit. However, to make the hubs perfect right from factory, we have produced a special mold and now the nylon hubs are used to eliminate the ball-bearing tolerances. |

3.) Battery Holders
We bring updated information on the battery holders. You may use the smart battery holders either with or without a cushion glued to them. If you file the battery slots a little bit so that the batteries sit down a bit in the chassis, we recommend you glue cushions to the bottoms of the battery holders. If you use the original chassis, do not use battery cushions. |

4.) Belts
The production batches of belts from our Japanese supplier are manufactured to be within certain tolerance, and therefore some of the belts can be more or less looser. If you have a slightly looser front belt (that is always within tolerance, of course) do not fear, because this does not decrease the performance. On the contrary, it will make the transmission work slightly better. While some drivers may choose to use the belt tensioner with slightly looser belts. We suggest that if you use the belt tensioner, do not over tighten the belt (since this will put strain on the transmissions), but rather use the belt tensioner only as a guide for the belt and use it to eliminate any vibrations of the belt that may occur. |
