Nice! Has already some hop ups installed, which are not yet officially announced. Note the carbon damper bridges. They are not from TB04.

Please show us the gearboxes... are they reusing the tb04 gearboxes or have they designed new and better ones? the chassis has a spine down the middle of where the gearbox should sit, so I am personally doubtful that it's the same. scan the manual for us please!

seems like they are resuing the 03's box. im new to tb series so i want to know why tb03's gear box is bad？

Tom1977

TB05 is using TB03/04 gearboxes. They are not bad at all. In TB04 era there was a batch with bad molding. Especially the carbon reinforced ones.

Could write a thesis on why they're so bad. But does give the option of potentially using Exotek alum gear boxes. Would be a super expensive upgrade. Or perhaps Tamiya would rerelease they alum gear boxes and release some steel crown/pinion gears!

Thanks for that! so it's basically a tb03/tb04 progression... interesting. Appreciate it! and enjoy the build!

I think the tb evo 6 's exotek metal gear box not suitable for it

Seriously, how is this car not completely assembled yet? I usually knock out a touring car build in an evening, and the electronics go in the next day.

It seems implausible to me that people are stripping the ring and pinion gears on the TB-04 diffs.

Never underestimate the stupidity of a noob. I stripped both.
