Thanks for the info gigaplex.

What size are TC4 Axles?

Our Tamiya Asia Cup 2017 got underway yesterday, dusted off the 414 and 416 for the TRF Class. Porsha decided to use the 416 as the 414 had massive understeer



The track is huuuuuggggee

The winner of two races in 21.5 in the XRAY racing series over here in Oz was using a BD7 2015 and was setting the fastest lap. Goes to show driver and setup makes all the difference as control motors were being used.

They are tc7.1 shocks with tb04 low profile shocktowers(#47327)..... I had to put 2mm shims on the shock ends to make it work: I did not have longer shock ends....
