Race no adjusting just have to move the spur and pinion sizing with trial and error. We got a 27/52 in over the weekend which is a 5.0 and that is all Tamiya parts. 26 works also but is a touch loose.

The TB or the 52/27?

The 52 is from the high speed gearset for the F201. Teh 27 is a Tamiya part I do not know the number

The TBis from R10 but talking to Fred yesterday the 02 is in the Warehouse and I think is on its way to the distributors now.

Hebiki,
I bought the car kit from R10. I got the Skyline car. That body is soo cool.
Difuser is talking about my car. R10 had all the spares but the tub. to convert the EVO to a tub.
THere are two parts that won't transfer, and Tamiya already has them as hop-ups. The motor mount is tub only, and the steering bell cranks are tub only.

The 27 / 52 was loose as well, I'm gonna try a different hole next race for the motor.
The 27 tooth pinion is Tamiya Part # 49230 ithink it was for a spec gearing on the TA04 in japan racing

Do you have to put the pinion on the motor then in the motor mount, or can you put the motor in the mount then the pinion on.

Thanks

The motor mount removes after you remove 2 screws. if the pinion is small enough. But the pinion needs to be on the motor when you put it in the car. If you have a large pinion you need to remove the upper support to get the motor assy out.

Is the hop up aluminum motor mount adjustable?

Izzy still fixed unfortunately.

Hebiki I think Troy's bill was around $500 but he bought the car and the blue conversion, plus some shocks and some Ti I think. The car should be on shelves by next week locally. With hop-ups about another month away.

Hard to say noone has run a 1-way here yet. As far as changes to the boxes there is no difference. I just shim good and don't have big issues.

thanks for the reply, diffuser i also saw the blue conversion kit for the evo3, but in our lhs, its the same price as the TB02 car kit itself i hope the parts will be available separately. if i get a TB02, my primary hopups will be hard arms, aluminum arm mounts, aluminum motor mount, and universals (at least front.) its good to know that the TB02 shares many parts with existing kits btw, how many bodies are initally available with the kit? i only saw a skyline and CLK.
