TA-05 ver.2
#76
Has anyone made a comparison between a stock (no hop ups) TA05 IFS and TA05 V2?
1) Track performance - lap times
2) Total weight (with or without electronics)
Thanks

Brushless, definitely. Since my goal for this car is the GT2 class in Tamiya's TCS events, I'll likely stick to 17.5 motors in it, though I may also try a 21.5 & run it in the Vintage Trans Am class if possible(in other words, if we have a class this winter, we never really know what the guys will want to run).....

Well, I have a TA-05 ver.2 on the way...
Haven't owned a Tamiya since my Grasshopper in the mid 80's
What are the "MUST" upgrades for this car? (part numbers appreciated)
Probably run it 17.5 stock TC at first or maybe RCGT

And get this for your servo saver. Helps a ton! Towerhobbies also carries it too.

I'm not sure on steering kit, because I'm not sure if Ver. 2 uses TA05 steering parts or TB03 steering parts. I'll have to check the online manual and see.
Anyways, axles and bones, aluminum servo saver adapter, steering upgrade, and maybe front spool. Shocks if you want them. And spring kit to tune with. And screws if you want life to be easier. That would be my starting setup. I would love to sell all my stuff and just run this car for fun.

I wanted something to play with. I am going to try to go to Debbie's at least once a month this fall/winter... set up the Phonton for 17.5 rubber tire and maybe the TA05 for RCGT I talked to Timmie about it some, maybe a group if us could carpool up there. Mapquest gave me 3 hours from the house. I called Debbie's they said they would start Sep/Oct & race TC/Oval alternating weekends

Couldn't find the screw kit or the steering upgrade.
I hate searching on RC Mushroom & Mart

Well as I've said, I'm not sure on which kit is uses... lemme check the online instructions for the Ver. 2........ Once again, here it is..

Go to page 17 and it gives you hopups. You need TB03 steering set. Not TA05. And you need 46mm bones. Not 48mm or 44mm.
As for Debbies, I would like to go this winter as well. Once carpet season starts here at Rosewood, it'll be all oval. So since I don't race oval, I'll need somewhere to go. Every other week sounds perfect especially with my school schedule. It's a 3 hour drive one way for me as well. But it's no biggie. Been doing that for years. Lemme know when you start heading up.

I know Timmie used a screw kit on his TB-03, but I can't find a Tamiya one.
However, Tony's Screws has two for the TA05

Of course you can always contact that screw company and send them the link to the V2 manual. They put together a screw kit for the new car at your request. After all, they'll need to put one together eventually right?
