Would this keep up with a pack of high-end cars in stock class? The weight limit is set at 1375g. I used to pick up the Pro version for previous cars, but ended up spending more than the R or a TRF model. I guess Tamiya gets you right there, but you just can't help the addiction of adding parts

Built my kit,...it is lovely,... that is all...

And there is more to this chassis (when compared to its predecessor the TB03) than just the LATERALLY positioned motor.. Anxious to compare it on the track..

Hello everyone. My friend is building his TB04. Do you think the plastic cross pins in the front diff can handle putty or 2.5Mil diff fluid?

I made two Testdrives with my TB-04 Pro. All over 15 minutes of driving and get stones in my Pinion and Spur Gear for three times. The last time the stone damaged my spur gear. Now I have to wait for another shipping from HK. I was testing in a parkinggarage without many stones. What cann I do. Its my first car i have problems like this.

Cover the hole under the spur gear with a good tape. What happened to you is very common on unprepared surfaces. If you have a leaf blower. Blow off the area you are running on first.

Hey guys,

In case no one has mentioned it, we have an updated assembly sequence posted on the product page of the TB-04 Pro and the standard TB-04. A few people both in Japan and the USA discovered a bind in the transmission. The new posted assembly sequence in steps 3-8 make a huge difference in the efficiency of the drivetrain.

Does anyone know if the 417 Diff II cups work on the gear diffs to replace the steel ones? Just trying to figure out what Satoshi was using in Japan.

No, they are different.

Here is the part number, but they aren't available yet.

I'm using those TRF417 alu diff outdrives in my TA06 gear diff.
I do use 2 sets for just 1 gear diff, cause i can only use the short ones of that set.
Perhaps it's also the same case for a TB-04 gear diff. try to do some measuring about the sizes of the long and short outdrives and let this checked by other guys who have those TRF417 alu gear diff outdrives.

The length is wrong.

I ordered two sets gambling they would fit. They don't.
