Thanks Rob.
Sand the diff rings with something like #400 paper. They should not be polished smooth, you want some tooth.
I still use Associated silicone lube (red lettering NOT stealth lube). Some guys use stuff like Tamiya a/w grease, but I personally feel like non silicone lubes change a lot during the run
Use a diff gear with a lot of balls.
Kimbrough is 12, Zen has 16, and Exotek is 16 as well.
Rubber tires put a lot more stress on the diff, and its pretty hard to get 100% lock up.

No, they just released the TRF101W this summer.
Probably expect the next one to be available next summer, 2015.

Has anybody run the 101W and the serpent 110 back to back as considering both and currently struggle with rear grip and we run 200mm foams or we can run 180 rubbers etc over here on low grip asphalt and price works out similar by the time you add the widening kit for the serpent but the serpent is a little cheaper and has better parts back up but currently running the tamiya f104w gp and have found it very very strong.

Currently running the tamiya f104w gp and have found it very very strong so do like the tamiya f1s.

I have the 101 and am running on carpet, I am using the otional TRF trust bearing and have turned around the coned washers. The issue I have is that when applying power no matter how hard I crank down the diff it seems to spin. What should I be using to lude the diff balls and is there any way to stiffen up the diff without locking it all the way up? I am running on indoor carpet and think the 101 is a good car,I just need to get the pop out of the corners. Thanks

1 mm shim under the front. No eclip under spring. This should make ride height 4 mm.
No front droop
TCS soft front tires
TCS hard rear tires
sliver side springs
60k damper tube fluid

Rear pod sagged .5 mm below ridea height.
Can't remember what spring and shock oil.

This was a high bite indoor carpet setup.
It was the dominant car at the event. Current and past IIC champs were in the house running F1 as well.

I'm gonna keep coming through this thread but does anyone know if the TRF101 chassis plates will bolt up to a F104V2? I'm almost positive the front suspension and servo mount for the F104 will bolt right up, but will the F104 rear pod holes line up with the rear plate on the TRF101? Thanks in advance.

NVM found my answer. Wider pod on the TRF101.
