415 using 48.5mm, now TA05 using 49.7mm? I guess that means wider wheel base range than 415, not to mention if using LW suspension. Anyone can confirm that?

whoever mentioned the sway bar mounts.. mount them on the outside using the ball stud connector. it wont hit the dogbone.
i have my sways mounted on the inside for the TB-02 with no prob. but with the 05, it'll hit the dog bone.

(Can anybody tell I got nothing to do at work?
Man, can't wait to hit the Tamiya track tomorrow... Chris, what's the plan?)

I shimmed it to have the least bit of slop, but rolling forward the front wheels still just moves the back belt, if just a smidge. Those fibre rings around the pulley seem to give it that friction...

Those are a huuuuge pain, especially ramped up against bearings that have their own grooves on the sides.

Heh.. yeah, Ray, I guess all we can do is talk about it while at work... but, Friday has come, the weekend's not far, and don't you worry, once our maiden journeys have been made around the track, we'll have even MORE to talk about monday 
..probably on the topic of replacement parts..

Maybe I should order some stock suspension pins too, they bend easy... happended to my TC3. Oh yeah that brings up another qusetion, can I use the Ti Buckles from my TC3 and use it on the TA05? I think they were manufactured by Titainium Racing. Thanks!

O5 is here
Back from Canada last night eh. And now I'm pouring over my big box of goodies. Oh theres the doorbell......... Speedtech goodies too. Now if I could have remebered to get some 46mm swingshafts 
.
Has anyone weighed it yet. I'm guessing its going to be a bit heavier than the 04.
The body feels like a LW version.
