DIFF FIX:
Use the Yokomo Diff rings # ZS-506 from Speedtech. Will work for the 415's too.
They are hardened and have one run side, will last a long,long time.
Use Acer ceramic diff balls, 3mm. Carbide balls work well too, but have have the Acer's in for 2 years without probs.
Put some Tamiya AW grease in your palm and rub the diff balls in to get get the lube on them, install and add 1 tinny drop of oil on each ball.
For the thrust brg, which seems to be the major rough part, I have found using
Sta-Lube moly-graph engine assembly lube, found in good auto parts stores, last the longest.
I have used this in 4 hour enduros, with a siver can, and not have any problems.
Works for mod motors for a 2 day race without a rebuild.

Just my 2$

Does anyone know the actual sizes of the bearings for the TA05? I cant seem to find the sizes anywhere so I can upgrade the stockers. Figured I would sell the stock kit bearings and upgrade to Avid bearings but I need the actual sizes.

Hey guys...awesome thread!
1. Have any of you got an gear (final drive) chart you could send me?
2. Also what size spur gears have you been able to fit on the car without poking through the bottom of the chassis?
3. I bought the Raybrig (sp) chassis is it legal (TCS) to open the cooling air hole on the top of the body?
4. Are the new TA-05 parts TCS legal? I.E. the lightweight chassis etc...hope so just bought it.
Thanks
