Can any japanese-talking person tell what springs are used on the Rheinard setup?

Custom,
I will try to in the next week, I have an number of others to add too.
I'm going to use the holidays as an opportunity to do some more work on the site, hopefully get the tips section on there... If any one has any more, please post here
So far on the list I have
Yokomo Front Diff
How to reduce steering sloop
Using the HPI front hubs
Moving the steering servo forward
Lowered rack on the std/MS car
Droop screw in the spur mount

Ed,

Why lower the rack?

Filing of the cell slots and glueing the edges of the chassis, most people know already but best to have it

It was done on Marc R's car at the worlds in 04. Lowers weight, and allows more room to play with bump steer tuning... hopefully this pick shows it

Yup you'd hope people would twig that...

I've just remembered another one... rear diff covers..

Would you guys be interested in a way to make steel outdrives for the tamiya spool using TA04 parts?

just makes it easier to get at the grub screw to take the spur mount off, means you can use a 1.5mm driver instead of an allen key... I've yet to find a driver that fits down that hole!

Groffball; Yes please!!!

Tommy Bergfeldt

eee, i use a Hudy short 1,5mm driver for the spur screw and it works fine.

Rick Draper

Team magic short 1.5mm driver fits spot on as does a hudy 1.5mm one.

You will need two sets of steel diff outdrives from a Tamiya TA04. I'm sure a lot of other people will have these in there pit boxes after replacing them with lightweight outdrives. You will only actually use the long side of the outdrive.
1. Cut off the end that goes to the diff right at the ridge that holds the bearing, see pic.
2. Grind it flat with the ridge
3. insert pins into the slot for the dogbone
4. put bearings on to hold in the pin
5. install as normal
I ran out of drive cups and didn't really want to buy a new spool so I dug around my box and tried every outdrive I could find and the inner diameter of these, the length, everything is a perfect fit. There will be a slight bit of play with the pin and the dog bone slot but it isn't a big deal. I havn't had a chance to try this yet but I don't see any reason why they won't hold up, but before anybody goes out and buys outdrives to do this I'll be trying it out and I'll report back.

3 Racing's 1.5mm driver works great, also RD Logics works great.

Ed,

Also, I would add flipping the front block to your list. I have told a few people about this and they had no idea it could be done.

So does the Schumacher driver. It's the best thing Schumacher makes (other than their damper oil)
