Hi I have a new K8T Factory Team kit, which I have been building up for our first round for 08 season at my local track.

There is not much on set up information that I can find, I have asked Mikey from the factory for some setup hints and he gave me a bit of info for shock/diff oils, but any other help would be good!!!!!!!

I would like to dye my wheels before I fit new proline tyres, please tell me what sort of dye you use, is it clothing or hair? (lol)

Cheers Bryan

RC, its just regular clothes dye the brand most common in the states is RIT and can be found at any department store
just boil the water, add the dye, and soak your items for about 30 mins. less time for a lighter shade of that color or more for a deeper color. simple as that. good luck

Hi thanx, yes have been on that forum

there is a bit but I surpose because they are so new a good setup guide hasn't been done yet! I guess it is up to us (New Caster owners) to let everyone know the information we find out!

My first outing is also this Sunday, so I will post my results after. I have just been down to our track, as it is only 5 mins drive from my house and just run it to check how it looked on the track. But racing will be different!

Let you know how I get on...

Cheers Bryan

Did it come with stone guards? If not, do you think the Mugen stone guards would fit?

I got some mugen mud guards and the fit the chassis real well. The only problem is they are a little longer in the rear then the caster chassis which you can cut them down. YOu will also have to drill 2 holes in the mudguard to use the holes in the chassis because the mugen has 4 bolts to hold it down and the caster has 3. They fit nice and flush though and look like they came with it.

Maybe the caster did not come with alot of stickers because it does not need to be noticed buy the stickers but how it is going to whoop on you in performance.

You just wait for SUNDAY!!

@vnmsgt. I talked to Cameron at Caster and he said the mud guards for the caster buggy are a direct fit for the truggy.
