R/C Tech Forums - Tamiya mini cooper

What kind of parts are you guys trying to get from Square besides the axles? Anything interesting? Anything not provided by other manufacturers? Jim wants more bling!

Jim

I got a set of titanium coated suspension arm hinges made by Square. They work with TL01, M03, M04 and M05. Got the set on ebay for about $12.

No ESC problems...but it's amazing the amount of toe and camber a carpet car needs....that also slows an asphalt car with a spec motor:lol::sneaky:

Has anyone tried 3Racing Steering Track For M05?

I just built my M05Pro and i might order that part along with 3Racing Graphite Battery Holder For M05.

I use the battery holder on my M03R and it's great, no more lose batteries!

3Racing Steering Rack

4 Attachment(s)

RossoTorro,

I have just fitted this and the new 3Racing MO5 alloy knuckles to my MO5M and will be giving it a run this afternoon. I will report back on what I think. There is no slop in the steering rack and it comes with shims as part of the kit. Here's some pictures.

BTW,

Thank you Greg.

Regards,

Calvin.

3Racing has a motor fan for the M05, M05-19/WO.

If anybody does know a way to mount a fan on an M-05 I'd really like to see it as I can see this being an issue going forward. I'm wondering how effective a fan would be as more of the motor is buried in the chassis on the M-05 but I'd love to hear ideas!

Cheers,
Mike

In addition to the new motor fan from 3Racing, there's also a motor heatsink available too, M05-14/LB.

The 3Racing steering rack works well. The fitment required a a slight shave of the right mounting point,(viewed from the front), however when fully mounted no slop.

The rack has two ackerman positions, of which I only tried the original position. I did not check the pre-assembled component of the steering rack and spent 15 min walking the track looking for the bearing assembly when it came apart. I would suggest disassemble and reassemble with loctite.

After rebuilding the steering rack, it worked flawlessly. I am very happy with this part, now I will have to test it's durability. :D:D This steering assembly may retain its lack of slop for longer than the plastic assembly in the kit. I will monitor this over time.

3Racing are also releasing a CF steering rack assembly soon. I sure hope Tamiya's release date stays firm for the 19 Sep for their other parts. Hoepfully in Oct/Nov they will release a steering assembly for this car, to compete with the 3Racing and Tech Racing offerings.

Regards,

Calvin.

Tamiya has a steering set coming out on Sept 9th?
I thought there were only 3 items, Motor mount, axles and upper arm kit.
