I think Speedtech and KT Hobbies both had them at one time.

trying the same route since i busted my main chassis plate. But i'm trying to fit the entire drive train of the LCG on the Rayspeed... How did you get the steering to work? noticed that the servo mount is much farther back on the Rayspeed. could you post some pix?

I drilled new holes in the Rayspeed chassis (used the LCG chassis as a guide) The only solution (really the quickest and I did not want to cut the ear off another servo) is to use the old style associated servo mounts as a spacer, I still used the stock LCG servo mount. It did work, It is a solid mount. I also used the stock LCG top deck. I think if you can find a TKE top deck the flex problem would be solved. I think a misunderstanding on the root of the problem is it's not really the chassis it's the 2 piece top deck. Replace this and a great deal of the flex would be gone. The BD does have some flex in the chassis but no where near the amount of flex that the LCG has. I do think that with the TKE top deck and the Rayspeed chassis you would have a good carpet car.

the tke car has the motor mount moved up 5-6mm to give more space between the spur and the mount so that the top deck web between them could be beefy. it also had the bellcranks moved up and out for less ackermann. in short, you have to run the whole kramer conversion.

That has to be why the TKE is getting so hard to find. Is it discontinued? Did Tommy switch?

i think kramer is still with yokomo. i did hear the rumor that he was looking but i don't think he went.

maybe bmi will continue where yokomo left off. the tke car is definitely the next level in shaft cars. not sure why there are so few.

I read in one of the British mags a week or two ago that he is still running the yokomo, I also hear that there is a yokomo TKE car going to vegas this year.....could be good!

on that Schumacher pitspace site there is some pic's as well, look under the "Summer Sizzler" race section.

as far as more info on the TKE car...contact yokomo

Thanks for this! not really familiar with how the old style associated servo mount looks but so far i think i was able to to work the servo without having to add spacers. just used a futaba servo saver (the one with 3 holes) and mounted the servo arm to the hole closest to the steering plate. thanks for the help though! much appreciated. just wonder how the car will run now.

unfortunatly, there are no carpet races back here... all are on asphalt so i still need a bit of flex in the car (the rayspeed is considerably thicker than the lcg already).

Hi guys i seem to be having trouble getting my 4200 cells into my stock sd chassis , i have thought of some BD battery holders but im not sure if it could be done
any help would be appreciated and if you have pictures that would also be a help

sosidge

I got IB4200's in my SD fine, a really nice fit. Do your cells have an extra layer of shrink?

ATLAS COPCO

Yes they do , i thought that may have been my problem
What do you think about the bd carriers

sosidge

I think you would create yourself a huge amount of hassle to try and fit them with no real advantage.

Point taken thanks for your comments
