Anyway.....
Based on my information the hop-up parts should be released the same time as the kit. I'm looking forward to seeing our sample in the upcoming weeks. |

anyway, if it share some parts with TA05, it shouldn't be too long before we see TB-03R i'd say 6 months to 1 year time. other than that... it sure looks good and i'm always fond of shaft driven cars to race in 23T stock class. |
WOW, It looks like I was right on about the Tamiya hop- ups for it. Looks to be stock EVO 5 shafts parts ect. from what I see..

hi doddy,
its been a long while....tb03 will use 416 susp setup & evo 5 drivetrain...perfect for 23t use.:D:tire: if it uses 416 and evo5 parts then it can be hopped up straight away... more $$$ to spend!! i like the look of it so far! |

yo Alan, been very long. i am no longer staying in the little red dot. how's things there. i'm looking forward for TB03 to arrive then i might want to use it for TAC qualifying ;) we'll see

uggg... Looks like another Tamiya Kit I'll have to buy. It looks great! Looks like an IFS chassis with a EVO-5 drive train. Glad they went with the sectioned drive-shaft(evo5 style) and we still have a protection on the gears. Looks like my new outdoor racer! Looks like this chassis will address all the issues in the Tb-02 chassis (i.e. stripped bevels, fixed gear sets, etc..)
Cheers!:smile: |
I try to stay away from Tamiya cars (because my xray works so well), but this car is different enough to give it a try. I think I will wait until the R version comes out.
|
It looks like the Aluminum TA05-IFS Rocker Arm Set will fit the TB-03(can anyone confirm??). I suspect a number of parts from the ta-05 IFS and evo-5 will fit the TB-03. Hopefully this is the case as it will make my hop-ups cheaper since I already have most of the parts.
|
Real Cool:spidey:
|
release date?
|
I think it was 6/25
|
Managed to get info from another Jap website. Shipping will commence from 26th Jun. Pre-order is accepted is including shipping to SG, it'll cost abt $330(Kit only)
|
the manual can be found at Tamiya Japan's site,
http://www.tamiya.com/japan/download/rc_index.htm manual states that 46mm cvd driveshaft is used, but Tamiya USA option parts list that as 44mm???:rolleyes::rolleyes: so which is which? |
Interesting. I was worried about the size of the pinion that it can house, but seems it can go pretty big. I wonder what the limitation of the spur gear is. I run both 27T and BL, so I need a pretty wide range of gearing.
I can see the tamiya magic that is about to unfold with the option parts.:cry: carbon reinforced A,K,M (M is pratically for the shock tower only) The chassis(big bucks), motor mount(maybe not as overkill as the TA05). At least the arms, universal, and stabilizers fit directly from my IFS-R |
interesting, gearing options?
R |
Looks like pretty good gearing options.
With the stock 06 module/64T Spur the gearing can go from 9.75:1 to 5.77:1. With the pinion teeth ranging from 16T to 27T. With the optional 04 module/96T Spur the gearing ranges from 9.36:1 to 4.58:1. With pinion teeth ranging from 25T to 51T. This is straight out of the TB-03 manual from Tamiya's Japanese website. Cheers, Thud |
From the looks of it, maybe a standard size spur will fit? ie Robinson, Precision??
|
pretty sure the standard gears will fit.
|
The internal ratio is horrible for brushless racing. I hope tamiya releases some different gears and then it'll be on my list!

Just picked one of these up to compete in the Tamiya GT class here in Okinawa. Got all the hop ups as well (just waiting on the rear input shaft and CVD's as they sold out the day they arrived).
Looks to be a nice kit. I'm wondering how it'll fair in hopped up form against my TA05-R. We shall see. :) - Paulie |
Ok, I like the kit it looks like a good Idea for GT2 in TCS, however I have been told that all previous TB cars has a problem, upon impact the teeth on the rear diff would ship. Does anyone know if this has been addressed.

Also, try not to be full throttle when you crash or being flipped over by the marshalls. |
Interesting, thank you.
Never had this reported problem with the old TC3. |
are the internal gears for the TB-03 the same as the EvoV? EvoIV? interested to know which ones to get, esp for the front one way gear and the bevel gears. :nod:

Going to get this car maybe today or tomorrow. |

The bevel gear part# is the same as the evo5. Even the new alum centershaft option works on the evo5/ms. Guess this car is a plastic version of the evo5ms with IFS. Don't know why the suspension blocks are all named for TB-03 when it can be used for pretty much all the cars.

The only concern I have for this car is the size of the spur that can fit. The manual says 96T, but hoping I can at least get a 105 tooth in. But since the gear box is completely encased, I'm probably hoping for too much. Going to have to get more pinions...:cry:

Chris, you should have drop by Tamiya this past Saturday, as we had our sample available to view.

Got my car today, and checked the size of the spur that can fit. unfortunately, 96 seems to be the largest you can fit. Still need to check the BL gearing limit, but the pinion area is big(tamiya states up to 51) so it should be ok.
But the shimming is PITA. The key is to first shim the diff so that it has near zero slop. Then shim the center shaft so it has near zero slop. Close the gearbox, mount it on the chassis, and then put the rear brace on(trust me on this). Check to see if the diff and shaft spins freely. If it doesn't adjust the lateral position of the diff by moving the shims left or right so you will get just enough slop. Need to check with the gear box closed so you have to open and close it several times before you get the right adjustment. I highly recommend tapping the screw holes so you won't end up with forearms of steel:lol: But when you screw everyhting down on the rear end, it is solid. BTW, the chassis weight is 133g for TB03, and 149g for TA05, if anyone is interested. |
evo5ms and tb03
hiya folks,
the tb03 uses centre drive-line parts of the evo5; the evo5ms centre driveline parts are wildly different and are not compatible. have fun! -alexander |
just did some comparing between 416, Evo 5 MS, TA05 IFSR and TB03, which are all basically using the same suspension components, all except TB03 uses same part #s for the susp arm, knuckles, C hub & rear hub. so are these parts on the TB03 made of a different material, hence different part #? anyone who hapen to have a TB03 now and any of the above cars make a comparison of the material of the parts? thanks...:sweat:

So why should I buy the TB03 over the TA05 IFS?
