Don't worry - you're not the first person to miss the "twist the diff" arrow!
It's a bit of a modern Tamiya trademark. Did it myself on my Durga build - and I have been building ball diffs almost non-stop for the past 20 years so have no excuses!
The only other curiousity in a TA-05 build is modifying the servo case. Apart from that it should all fall together.

Two questions, if I may:
1) I vaguely remember how to tighten a pan car diff, any difference in how to check tightness on a TC diff?
2) Any suggestions on building the shocks?
I plan to use AE silicon shock oil, 60wt front & 40 wt rear, with 2 hole pistons as a starting point. Blue springs in the front, yellow in the rear. This combo worked in a prior spec class.
My local track has a very high grip, indoor, asphalt surface and is about 100x48. The track layout is changed every 4-6 weeks and is usually pretty technical with one longish straight.

Well, it is nice to know that I am not alone in missing the "twist the diff" arrow. Fixing the other diff turned out to be quite painless. I guess the experience working on diffs over the weekend was a good thing.

I'm sure your shock setting will be fine although personally I would start with the kit setup and work from there.

I did not notice the twist in the arrow between the diagram of diff parts on left side of block 3 and the center picture of the assembled diff showing the insertion of the spring and long bolt to tighten the diff. I didn't flip the diff before I put in those pieces shown in the center picture.

High posts ta05v2r
Whats the deal with the towering posts to clip the body too? Do i need them this high ? Can i cut them down so it looks nice at least?
#1686
Absolutely. Most body posts are generic which means they might actually fit a number of different Tamiya chassis. Just remember that body post heights will be different for different bodies. If you routinely change bodies, make sure you have spare posts or leave enough length to use them on other bodies.

I hope to have the TA05 on the road soon, this coming weekend might be possible but unlikely [just too much yet to do and too little time]. I'm sure I will be looking for tuning help when it hits the road so I'll find you and any body else willing to help. Cya at the track.

Spools ...Yay or nay
Hey just wondering if i should go with spools or not on my ta-05 2vr anyone use one on that model here and if so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
#1691
im guessing nobody uses them then
#1692
It's not that. There's just a bunch of threads regarding spool use. Bottom line, a spool can be great depending on the track, your driving style, and a few other variables. You might want to check out the TA05 threads and see what the folks are suggesting. You could also post the question there as they have more experience with that particular chassis. Asking everybody will just get you a heap of opinions.

Instead of posting a new thread every now and then, please use the search to find the thread you are looking for. You will not get much feedback if the answer has been discussed already.

I use a spool in my touring car and my VTA. My mini has a ball diff that is so tight it might as well be a spool. Nothing beats being able to full throttle it out of a corner.
