Hi Everyone,
in these months Jilles has give us a gift, he is giving us a lot information, excellent set-ups and videos too with Redrc collaboration and published on youtube® about our beloved hobby and the excellent Tamiya TRF 416 :-)
So during my short summer holiday I got an idea, create a documentation in order to collected all Jilles's answers in one place divided by subjects, as you can see in the attached files I posted them in .doc format in order to keep them editable and free of use and most important thing making our contributions to keep them updated.
I hope these files will help us to improve our skill during test and race events too
Please, give me a feed back about the project...
Regards,
Marco (lynx75)

Hi Jilles,
first of all congratulations for your European Championship, well done.
My brand new TRF is waiting for some new motor pinions but I haven't got idea about the suitable pinion teethrange to have in my pit box.
Could you let me know the good pinion teeth range to buy, please?
from 39T to 45T?
Thank you in advance.
I suppose you will move to Thailand for test something new
.
Will you go to Lostallo for the 1/8 World Championship?
Thank you a lot

Hi All,
thanks, please keep it update :-)
Stein Tumert:
Yes, I know Thard web site, maybe he'll create a dedicate post on his site.
Senna Racing:
I use 10.5 brushless motor with 105T spur gear, Will pinions teeth range from 20 to 30, won't it?
thanks to all.

a good starting point would be 35 to 50, it will give you at final ratio from 4.3 to 6.1

Hi Jilles,
I noticed you are running X/E on the rear for the Euros, aside from widening the rear track what effect does this have on handling compared to running XA/D?
Thanks and well done at the event. We hope to see you racing in Australia some time soon

Hello guys,
Sorry for late reply.
Chris,
I used 2367 at the euros.
Dimitri,
At the euros we used TA-05 suspension blocks.
Use a lot of Schumacher grease.
Craig,
X-E is wider then XA-D, so this gives little more stability but still same toe-in.
Jonest,
TRF and Xenon are the same.

Jilles, will you be available for consulting at Vegas?

Johnny,
I'm not sure we will go to Vegas. Still need confirmation of Tamiya.
You always free to ask advies at the races, that's why we are at the races.
