Default Just starting the Rock Force build

Thought about getting into Rock Crawlers for a while. As a child I loved Stompers...still have a vast collection of them.

I'm mostly into planes, but have a couple RC trucks, all electric, a bike and a sailboat.

The Rock Force looks like a great kit. Looking forward to getting on it, unfortunately, both drive shafts are missing from the kit...thats all I noticed so far. I did get the dig, so it came with one. Is there a drawing that shows how the dig for the Rock force goes together?

Thanks for your help!

Jimmy

Pages 27, 28 and 29 in the manual describe the installation and setup of the dig.

Not to pile on, looks like a real nice kit, but mine is missing both "worm wheel shafts" as well (PN's "RF006"). It looks like my serial number is somewhere in between 2760, +/-20 (?). Inspector Yamazaki needs some new glasses.

Yeah I just emailed Kyosho. I suppose this is the (small) price we pay for an industry that is moving at lightspeed, rushing to push fresh new products out the door. Nothing bores me more than a stagnant industry recycling the same old stuff. That is certainly not the case here. What a great time to be into rc crawling!

Though I am not quite sure what to do about those "tires" in my $400 kit....they'll make good dog toys I suppose. Blah.
