Need help. I don't have the manual or a blow-up f the TA 05. I need all the part numbers where the center gears are. The area where the spur gear is. I need the numbers of the gear that is next to the spur and there is another part that comes after that. Looks like some type of bearing/bushing? Thanks in advance!
If you know where to look for the blow-up version, please post the link. I can't find it on TAMIYA USA's site.

Had my first chance to wind out the TA05 in a schoolyard today. Was running my VFS-1 and a Green Machine Pro motor... Turns out that it IS quiet, that is, until I came across the previously mentioned "microscopic element in spur gear" noise. Quickly diagnosed and solved thanks to reading previous posts here
Now I just gotta figure out how to dial out the understeer problem I seem to be having!!

Are you running kit tires? If not what tires, compound?
Is the surface clean?
Is it stock set-up?
More info the better...

Rear Toe-in

Adn if I want 1.0 per side , I want the X up front and the XB out rear right?

I measured the locations of the holes for M4 and M5 parts and they were about 43.5mm (IE M4 and M5 are the same). I do think the M3 looked narrower when I was assembling it, but I did not think about measuring the holes before I mounted M3, so I am not certain. However, if M3 were the same distance as M4, then I do not think that Tamiya would have called it M3 at all (or they would have changed all the numbers for these parts). So I think that if the rear toe overall is 2 degrees, then the uprights may be either 0 degrees or 1 degree, and the rest of the toe-in is from the blocks. If I get a chance to disassemble the setup I will confirm this later (unless someone else does first).

Do TRF 415 diffs and spool and oneway fit in the TA05? If not regularly, can they be modified to fit?

Yep, was set up according to manual, with kit tires, TRF shocks & yellow springs all around. Surface was dirty asphalt, them kids don't keep their schoolyard too clean! 
I'll be running it again today, on a different surface, and will have different springs with me to try out. Figured I'd go to blues in the rear as a start.
