if you look at the kyoshosan site it is the three sides star piece in the pic with the chassis. just unsure what it does. the half circles cut into it appear to be smaller diameters.

I hope that bike has a gyro in it. Otherwise all my efforts of the last 6 years have been thoroughly, thoroughly put to shame!

Yes... that bike has a speed-dependent gyro in it... as the bike slows down the gyro speeds up to maintain the bike's balance... it's in the back wheel

For truing your tires. F1 gets a true to 26mm I guess, but for AWD and MR01/02/015/03 we know that 22.5-23mm is the sweet-spot starting point for front tires to have good bite without much sidewall folding.

Granted, if you've trued enough tires you don't even care anymore, you know what 23mm looks like just by looking at it lol. I arbitrarily cut a pair of PN 25 slicks for my Box Stock car and mugler measured them while I was gone, yelling "23mm!" at me back from the pits.

Tire guage

The tire guage is made for kyosho cup purposes. It was made for race officials to quickly ensure proper tires were being used
