These are a great starting point. I, also, like very smooth controls. You'll need to play with differential to get a nice axial roll and CG at 145mm is where the money is at. Everyone has their...

Rich,
I'm getting my new pipe from Peter Liu at Bajahobby. Since the K45G3 is the same size as the K30 now, the original pipe Peter sent was too short. I've had him add an extra 1.75" to properly...
