Default Kyosho Rock Force dig plates.

One of the bad things about the dig system in the Rock Force is the aluminum plate that comes with the kit. It seems to wear rather quickly. With the help of HiloDB1 and his design,we managed to cut these babies out of stainless steel. From the testing we've done,it's a big improvement in shifting and will probably out last the axles themselves.

If you'd like to get your hands on one of these,they'll be $20 shipped anywhere in the USA. You can PM me for details or questions

Thank you.

You can see that it's thicker, and a MUCH better overall design.

These work much better than the stock plates. No more half a tire roll-out, no more crappy engagement, and they are much stronger. I don't see how Kyosho let the RF get out of the box without these plates.

Thanks, my RF has dig again.

I think I've only got a couple left guys. Let me double check. I can run more very soon if/when I'm out.

I've had a few guys send PM's about these. I'm currently out of stock. I've got material cut and ready for the mill. Our mill dept. is covered up with work at the moment. I'll try to squeeze these in the schedule ASAP.

Thank you,
Steve

I was able to get a little machine time for these yesterday. I've now got a stack of these ready to ship.

Sorry, I don't have anymore. There really isn't enough demand to grant doing another run. I have seen others have really good luck running a Losi trans with the Losi dig in the Rock Force. I've got a set of RF axles I'd like to build one day. If I ever do get the time,I'll run twin 10t pullers mounted on the belly pan direct drive with electronic dig. Electronic dig will always be better than a mechanical dig anyway

Hi Reflection,

I'm looking for dig plates like yours. Is it still possible to get two of these hot parts?

I live in Switzerland. You just have to tell me the price to send it to my country.

Thank you for your answer...

BR from Switzerland, Marc

Sorry, but I have no more of these on hand. I wasn't planning on making anymore. If there is enough interest, I could try to have another batch run. If 10 or more people are interested, I could have another batch run.

hi, thanks for your quick answer

it will be difficult to find around 20 people in switzerland who want to buy these cool parts...

for the moment its only me and a friend of mine... if you change your mind and produce two of this dig plates, this would be great. i would also pay a bit more than 20 $ if it depends on the price.

do you know a shop or someone where i can buy wheel hexes in aluminium or steel for the rock force? hot-racing is sold out..

have a nice day,

br, marc
