Hi Guys,

Sorry for the delay, we hope to have the TRF415 spool back in stock by next week.

Thanks

Steve Wang

I havent had any problems with the Speedtech spool, I just think a lighter spool can give a little more steering. Marc Rheinardt (sp?) used one of Jurgen's spools last year at Reedy and was blazing fast with it.

And I am sure everyone here will agree that it's the spool that made the difference. Heck I would be almost as fast as Marc if I had that spool!

hi, steve's spool is made from steel, no probs with breakage there.
BTW guys, i've managed to reduce the chatter some what by greesing the drive pins on the dogbones. I'm also tempted to try putting heat shrink on as well...

So using blades with the spool as itīs with Jürgenīs spool maybe also reduce chatter.

No. You have to piece one by yourself from Yokomo and Tamiya parts or order one from Germany. Somebody should have a list somewhere.
