Can someone direct me to a link or post on how to make the TA03 ball diff as tight as possible.
I have tightened mine as far as it will go and secured it with thread lock. I'd like to have it even tighter of possible.
I have done my research and have treid some suggested tricks but nothing I have tried has made it tighter so far.

For those of you racing on the new black ozite carpet using a gear diff, what weight diff fluid are you using?

The Hachiroku looks good! but that S2K..
WTF!!


That's the best I could do to turn a Mazda MX5 into a Honda S2000


I like it

Agree.. i have the real car of mk7 fiesta, been searching online for scale ford fiesta m chassis body.. no results 😖😖😖 other brand make the body just look alike, the exact same detail body that i've found just hpi wr8 body (1/8) and rs micro (1/24)

I just installed the adjustable upper links and M05ra hubs and knuckles on the front of my car. I am now getting some serious bump steer. Like 5 degrees out when extended to 5 degrees in when compressed. I can't figure out how to get rid of it. It's causing a major issue with handling. The le car is unpredictable and very squirmy.

Ok... I guess you'll have to take it off...

professor, did a quick internet search and found your answer on the tamiyaclub.com website. Here is a link - http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/inde...d-info-please/
Basically you need to go with a longer ball connector/stud on the steering knuckle. According to the post you need Tamiya part number 19805825.
Check out this picture and you will see the longer ball stud which is a brass piece

Bump steer is usually caused when the steering turnbuckles change at a different rate/angle when compared to the front a-arms. Adjusting the height of the ball stud on the steering knuckle should help alleviate/lessen the excessive bump steer.

Edit: Looks like IndyRC beat me to it

Could someone recommend a Savox servo for the M05 that's less than 50 bucks?
