What seems to be the lowest FDR that you guys have been getting with the TB04? The last track big track I was at running 17.5 they were running 3.20-3.10 FDR. Seems like I have been scratching the 3.40s.
Yeah I know they make a different motor spacer but you are limited by the motor screws regardless. I might have a way to fix the limitations just have to spend time in the shop with both time and engineering.
I didn't know if there were different internal gears or newer smaller spur?

A new pair of milter gears with a different gear ratio would solve alot of the gearing issues, just need someone to make them

3.37 is achievable with 52/72 64p pinion/spur and 39t ring gears, haven't heard of anyone going lower than that. Maybe try cranking up the motor timing then see if it is still necesary to start modding

I could use a little help from the experts on this thread regarding wear on my rear outdrives.
I upgraded my diffs to metal gears and cross memebers along with the aluminum outdrives. Unfortunately my aluminum outdrives show a bunch of wear even with the pin cushions. I have nearly 20 batteries through these and was not expecting so much wear on the rear. The aluminum outdrives on the front show no wear. Right now I am running 0.5 million weight in the front and 1000 in the rear diffs.
Should I expect to see that much wear on the rear outdrive? Could I have avoided the wear by changing the pin cushions and if so how often should I change them?
FYI I double checked the rear axle and it seems straight so I do not think the wear is coming from a bent axle vibrating in the outdrive. Since the front doesn't have any noticable wear I assume it is related to the difference in oil weight and additional loads on the rear?

As a contrast I have raced my 418 at least once a week (avg 4 races and practice) since the start of the year and I have no wear on my diff outdrives.

I was at the limit of the timing. If I went beyond, blowing-up tends to happen.

Hi,
I've just ordered the kit, a bit early since I want to race it in the Tamiya Cup 2015 (this year I run my 8 (!) year old TT-01 in Top Stock class). Next year I want to run Euro GT class, which leads me to this chassis. Motor wise the class is restriced to:
- 54252 Tamiya brushless 16T
- 500906121 Carson shooter sport BL 16T
- 500906165 Carson waterproof set BL 16T
Any specific (Tamiya) ESC you can recommend or I should stay away from? I still run a TB101 on the TT-01, unbreakable... The new 105 went up in smoke!
I think I can use this chassis right out of the box with minor hop-ups. I saw the carbon reinforced gear set and read about the 39t gear. I am not allowed lower than 5.0 overall reduction between motor and wheels, so pinion choice is easy. Shimming the lot should not be too hard, adding a Honda HSV body is the finishing touch.
Anything I forgot? Tips welcome!
Cheers,
Hugo

I was going to recommend this but according to the manual it only works with sensored motors

The Honda HSV-010 body is awesome, I have already painted one for my tb04 pro V2
