Don't know on the pinion and cover. 40 is at least ok.

Without body with the electronics I have: 1235g
With heavy Golf body: 1375g

Weight is very far forward.

Kentech... does kit come with full bearings? (noticed you had to place bearings in steering rack)

also, regular toe blocks in rear?

i think its typical tamiya.. bearings through out.. but the steering rack has no bearings only bushings.

Full bearings yeah, just bushings in the steering and the rockers as you would expect.

Plastic toe blocks in the rear, XD and A.
X and B also included. Alu blocks will fit.

Default Mr Tanaka say "Sweat from beaneath monkey ballr make you beeeery faaaast!"

I've got a quick question. Has anybody confirmed which rear carbon shock tower will work with the FF03? I'm scrounging part numbers up for an order in anticipation for a build (minus a bunch of "out of stock/on the boat" hopups) and would like to add the rear damper stay. Thanks in advance!

Rod,

None will work right, the plastic tower has the rear shock locations laid over much further than the TB03 or the TA05 towers. Not to mention, the towers will need modification to fit on the bulkhead. But the bolt pattern is he same as both the TA05 and TB03 if you want to modify them, and see if the locations might work.

The rear shocks are laid over like the front shocks on the M05.

Just got my Beams Integra Body... it's going on my FF01 in the meantime until I decide to ask my wife for some money to go buy a FF03....

Still saving for a Thunder Tiger SB5 and a Venom VMX450 though so we'll see

For those who look for an editable setup sheet, you can find one here.
Raw materials is from kentech, I just made it editable and that can be considered as temporary until Tamiya releases the official one.
