or you can be modify the 05 IFS to fit on a kawada CF chassis like i did...
that was a lot of sanding and grinding... but i think it's worth it...
sorry for low quality pix... i don't have a good camera..

Hi Guys, I've wanted to test the IFS for awhile now, And have finally ordered the IFS R, I'm considering the 3racing CF Chassis upgrade, Is it worth it ?
If someone has already done this conversion could you please post some pictures.
Thanks for all the info previously posted guys!, It will most definitely make my build easier

i'm ok with what the R comes with, i mean it's plenty and has the most important upgrades (universals, trf dampers, etc). but if you're really itching to buy something for your ifs r, then i would recommend the alum. steering assembly and rocker arms.. or at least replace the metal bushings on those things.
just stay away fromthe conversion. my friend bought it for his TA05, and it has prevented him from using the tamiya center one-way for the TA05.

My IFS-R I added the front and centre one way Titanium Screw Set, Alloy Steering and Rocker Arms and CF Battery Strap. I'd also recommend changing out the soft Aluminium turnbuckles for Titanium especially on the rocker arm to suspension arm linkage.
There other upgrades you can do, Alloy bulkheads, CF shock tower (rear) etc but I manage to get mine in the top 3 in stock locally and I have been out of racing for over a year, and it's been running up against T2-008's etc so no doubt the car is already competitive as is.

any1 have a suggestion on the servo saver u use for this car. the stock tamiya 1s have always been beat. so thoughts. a standard kimbrough doesnt seem long enuff and the steering could bind at the extreme lefthand throw.
thx

There's a chance this has been answered earlier, but I'll ask anyways. I bought the Yeah Racing aluminum steering knuckles (the thing the axle goes through on the front) and the kit axles are too short to be used with them (the hole for the pin doesn't clear the bearing on the outside). If I buy the universals, are the axles longer on those?
