I've been using a dremel with a fine tip bit to router out the parts of the round top screw so that I can put a flat head screw driver in to unscrew it.

This worked best for me.

I usually have a round cutoff disc (1mm thick, fibre-reinforced) for my dremel that's basically ground down to a 1cm diameter handy in my box. This makes great marks for a small flathead screwdriver, and its cutting area is smaller than the head of the screw.

Just make sure you have a good grip on it to make sure it doesn't ride across the screw and hit the chassis anyway.. it only takes a couple seconds to make a deep enough mark to fit a small screwdriver.

Just wondering. Does the tamiya DJ pro module suspension fit the evo III, Im pretty sure it has the same suspension as the TA04. But dont know if it works with the 04 either?

the diameter of the three hole teflon pistons isnt all that big but they are bigger than some other shock pistons hols i have seen on cars eg corallys. The teflon (white ones) have smaller holes compared to standard tamiya black ones found on the parts tree. Not completely sure of the exact measurement. i tend to alter my shock oil before i bother with the piston holes only adjusting it once a year if that for one meeting.

I just picked up a used TB Evo III for $20. I don't plan on racing the car but I do want to get it running. It was missing a few parts (no shocks, diff instead of oneway), and I need to buy servo mounts for it, but for the life of me I can't find them. Where can I find servo mounts for this car? I tried speedtech and tower. Thanks.

$20! Ill buy it straight off for $30!. I have the Surikarn and it had the red alloy anodised mounts so they dont have a number. But bag A for the evo III (#50988) has 1 plastic mount I think. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=19168

What are the ways to prevent the front one-way gear from stripping? I was told to replace it with aluminum gear. Does any one know the part number? Thanks.

Cool, thanks! I'm new to Tamiya so I'm not used to how they group their parts. That does look like a servo mount on the end of the parts tree.

Socal should have the servo mounts. they're also recycled in the evoIV. speedtech has them also. look under hop ups or TRF parts in any of the tamiya sections.


xxxkat - EJ Evans should have a good carpet set up for you. hit him up
