Hi guys,

Could you please tell me how you guys solve the 1mm offset problem? What happen if you fit in a 0mm offset tires on it? Do you just screw out the ball head? will there be too much play at the dog bones?

Thanks,
Ben

Tamiya makes a set of calibrated shims for the TA04/TRF cars series (on the pack goes 1, 1.5 and 2 milimeters wide), sorry, no part no. available, but sure that you can find them easily.

The car's together, but I haven't even fired it up yet. The weather just has not co-operated to get it broken in, so I doubt I'll try to run it any this weekend. I've still got the MTX-2 more than ready . There is one other guy here with an MTX-3. He's got the Sirio outlaw on it. I think he has run 2-3 tanks through it and plans to finish break in this weekend. He's our fastest guy, so I'm dying to see what the car can really do!!! You got your work cut out for you .

The weather forecast for Sunday (right now) is a high of 58-62 & sunny. Should be an awesome day for racing.
