How much bling add ons does It take to equal the cost of a superior 417?

I haven't followed the TA06 real close, but was wondering how much "stuff" - $$$ needs to be replaced to make it closer to being able to compete with other brands of cars, Xray T2, TC5, even older cars ?

Shocks at least..

thanks

Alien rc: new chassi looks good! tested it yet?

is there a plan to sell the chassi kit to the public later?

I need help gearing the TA06 for 17.5 non-boost class. What spur and pinion size would be a good starting point (I know there are many different size tracks out there - I just need a starting point). I'll be using a Tekin and Duo II (I know I'll have to modify the chassis to get the Duo to fit). Thanks

I'm geared at 4.25 I believe ? It's a 44 pinion and 87 spur... Raced today with it in a field of 10 cars 17.5 NT and came in 2nd... not sure what other chassis people were driving... I wasn't the fastest on the straight, maybe I can gear up... motor temp was 132 with a Novak ballistic and Tekin on blinky mode, zero motor timing... I'm running a Ball diff in the back and a center on way, with 500,000 gear up front...

Thanks guys...
--> This carbon kit is not tested today : I will test it probably next we to prepare the French Cup at the end of the month. We'll see if it works better than a stock one (cause Grinta, a friend of mine has a stock one)... We'll see later if it could be sell...
You can check my facebook wall also.

About the comparaison with a 417, it's impossible in France to do it cause TRF cars are very badly represented here... To expensive. For exemple : a 417 will cost probably 2.5 or 3 times the price of the TA06...
--> There is a place here for a carbon conversion kit to be sell...

After that, I really don't know how it will work on the race but its very interresting to discover a "new" weight repartition car !!!

4.25? wow. Im running around a 6...The straight away is my kryptonite too... but its rcgt. Im planning on being lowering the gearing to a 5.25. RCGT tires arent sticky enough for that high of a gearing.

5.0 seems a little low for 17.5 boost. I thought the sweet spots was around 6.0
gonna try the new SP MMM motor. What motor timing 11-20 will be good? Also, do I need to lower the boost on the speedo to compensate the extra motor timing?

definitely interested in the carbon shock towers. The stock one is way too soft.

--> If somebody can tell me how many is the weight of the original plastic chassis, I would thanks him a lot...
