I guess some items do have a problem fitting right in the TA05.. I first had a LRP Runner and F1.. no dice... sold those, got a Rapida Pro, it fits perfectly.. so did the GTX.
Plus, the 3-channel Airtronics receiver had to be mounted on the servo until I found a used 2-channel micro.. 92826.. fits like right in there like a charm, has just one extra plug for the PT.. all I need
Picked up the Hitec HFS-03MM for my 12th scale, but it also fits flat in the TA05.
The KO fits fine, and there's a new Airtronics receiver coming out, looks like the same small footprint as the KO.
A logical place for the PT would have been on top of the servo, but I was getting mad glitching all the time.. took me a couple races and a few rams into the wall to figure out the problem, velcroed the PT to a piece of lexan bolted right on top of the front shock tower, faaar away from the servo and receiver, saturday was my most successful (and damage-free) race in months..
This is a quickie pic with my cell-phone cam.. gotta clean that right side of the lens..

I just got the 3Racing chassis, and although the original chassis was a tad tight for the ESC, a little ingenuity cleared that problem, now I just got to get my 3Racing chassis finished, then I can lease some space for electrics for T2 owners.
I got to admit, although I was dubios at first about ordering the chassis, now I got it, it is a nice peice of kit, only thing that needs doing it to open up around the back of where the pinion is, on the topdeck to improve access a little. And I still can't understan the need for the two peice deck either.

Belts
I put my car together and haven't ran it yet but I did notice the belts are a bit loose. How hard is it to tighten the belts? What tooth do you have your belts on? Good thing I look in the manual on what to do. Just would like some info from u guys.

One thing, once you got the transmission built, stick a motor in there and run it at 3 or 5v for half our or so, this helps settle the belts down a little.
