Damn that's heavy. My full option TA05 was 1500g last week running Stock TC. I was shocked that I had to put on weight to make 1525g min. hehe.... I would start with the Ti screw kit and the carbon tub chassis.

This is mine,
It's almost 100% using hop up option from Tamiya.
Only the alum motor mount from 3Racing.
I'm after a durable chasis, so this is what I come up with.

Please see the pics.

Rgds,

It looks like the Futaba 9550 servo. I am running the same servo.

Actually, I think KO has just come out with a low profile servo of their own like the 9550.

Got two weeks till TCS here in West Aus, where do we start culling the weight?
WOW!!! That is heavy. Bone stock, mine never made it above 1585g w/3700 cells.

Darkseid:

your right the new KO low profile servo (2413) is like the 9950. it seems smoother during operation. it has a extra drive gear over the Futaba.
I haven't weighted my TA-05 yet. but I have added the Graphite chassis,bulkheads, & stiffners. I am running a JR 8800 servo, KO 302 Rx. KO Speedo Novak Super Cap. either TRF shocks or TRF non coated shocks.
I am thinking of getting the new Tamiya motor mount, hollow centre shaft, white/blue belts. need the 1 degree hubs Civic99 told me about.
so far I love my TA-05. I just need more track time (I just started playing in the dirt again so......)

Thanks

Yes, you're right. I'll probably replace with the KO servo, later...
