Tamiya TB04 Pro

This is my first post on this forum. Yesterday, I ran my TB-04pro for the first time: high grip carpet, Carson 16T and Tamiya A-type. This will be my car for Tamiya Cup TW class.
The steering is so sweet, the car impressed me. After 5 packs, I looked at the rear arms more into detail and found out that their was a lot of slop. The arm could be moved back and forward. I saw on the track another TB-04 with the same problem.
What happend? What parts are worn out? Arms, plastic spacers? Another problem maybe? My TA-05v2R has the the same rear suspension, but build in CF and the spacers are in aluminium; no wear here.
Thanks for your input, Alwin

By the way, has anyone heard anything about a carbon tub coming out soon. My chassis has a twist that comes back every run .

Thanks for your input. I've rebuild the rear suspension and it looks ok now. Probably, I was a bit cautious not to over tighten the screws into the plastic.
I'll see how it looks like after a few runs.

Wow that looks awesome. How are these working on carpet tracks? Also how does it work with the 6 degree caster compared to 4?
Has anybody switched from a TA06 which is what I currently use on carpet?

Hi guys,
I would like to know how long are your new short dampers?
Can they reach approx 54/55 mm
Thank you for the help

Noisey but fast!
I have a TB-03 and it is noiser than my TA-05. Shaft cars have gears in the drive train that trasfer power to the tires, this gives a sound that the belt drives don't have. But, if not shimmed correctly it can be much louder a sound. I can't decide which car I like better but the torque coming out of the corner on a shaft car is awesome and the smooth acceleration of the belt drive is easy to manouver through the corners is so easy to drive.
The TB-04 has an extra set of gears to compensate for the motor at 90 degrees from the shaft so again if not shimmed properly it can make a lot of noise and bind the drivetrain.
I race at the Tamiya track here in Aliso Viejo and it's hard to compare the three chassis but based on the last Speedtech race, the TB-04 made podium the first time out, now that is impressive!
Just my 2$
