I have a hobbywing too. the dimple on the LRP X20 are longer. I am using a CRC 52T 64 P and RW 70T 64P Spur. My buddy actually suggested to try a different motor. Too bad..I really wanted to try the LRP for TCS

RCMarket will be shipping mine next week.

Any issues with the diff leaking?

Danny,

No, I used a CRC also. My problem was getting the pinion close enough to the can. I lined up and worked, but it wasn't perfect. I think the way I fixed it was switch to a narrower spur.

Hi Craig,

I used a 21.5 LRP X20 motor...I used 2 other brands and it lines up. In fact on a turnigy track star i had to mount it a little bit away from the can to line up.

Thanks

Diffs are looking pretty good, although I haven't checked them in a while due to them being inside a fully sealed bulkhead and all

I used a Rwurks motor when I had the problem.

Thanks for the heads up Craig. I almost purchased an R1 wurkz..

In the front and rear gearboxes, I moved all the shims to the side without the ring gear and its so much smoother!

Anyway, I had this crazy idea of buying the parts that will convert my tb04 into a tb03 so that I can find out which one is better.

Tamiya (#54053) TB-03 Aluminum Propeller Joint Set (R)
Tamiya (#54099) TB-03 Carbon Reinforced K Parts (Stiffener)
Tamiya (#54147) TB-03 Carbon Reinforced Chassis
Tamiya (#54150) TB-03 Aluminum Motor Mount
Tamiya (#54249) 3X32mm Alum. Turnbuckle Shaft
Tamiya (#53601) Low Friction 5mm Adjuster
Yeah Racing (#SC-A310) Cap Screw 3x10 mm
3-Racing TB03 Titanium Screw Set

Does anyone know if the tb04 prop shaft works on the tb03?

Will cost $120, however as you can see its all the hop up versions of the parts. Have I missed anything? My biggest complaint is that I might have to dremel a bit of the battery tray to get a brick lipo to fit and I value a neat, tidy car alot!

The tb04 drive shaft won't work, correct. You need prop shaft 54052 also.

If you dremel the outside set of ribs off, the battery fits in perfect.

I guess that raises the conversion cost to $140. As trivial as it sounds, hacking the battery tray is enough to stop me from considering the conversion, I dont want to buy new lipos either.

Im pretty happy with how smooth my tb04 is so im going to leave it as it is.

It's not a hack, it's an upgrade. I did three of mine on the mill. The last one I did with the dremel in about sixty seconds.

My TCS winning car from last year got nothing milled on it, I glued left over plastic suspension spacers on the chassis to center a square lipo in the hole. All of them are equally sano with the battery installed.

Handling wise, how do the the tb03 and tb04 compare?

CraigMBA

The tb04 had more steering, I assume from the Ackerman from the steering linkage. The TB03 has a simpler driveline.

hey Tamiya! Make a TB03 v2, with 418 style steering, split suspension mounts, and a flat chassis! Please?

TB03Racer09

I really like the amount of steering my tb04 has, I don't think I want to give it up for a slightly quieter drivetrain

I don't think they would make a flat chassis, it seems that the TA and TB chassis are destined to always be a tub. I think a longitudinal motor mount conversion kit for the tb04 will be a good idea, all is needed is new low deck, motor mount and some center transmission bits. Would be a great tuning aid for tb04 owners.

Just flat where the battery goes!
