Thanks - im basing my info off of a "Best 1/10 Electric Plastic Chassis Touring Car" so want to make sure i start with the right car - thanks!

yes get the v2 kit. the supports in the chassis plate are different. also the motor and mid shaft or center shaft if you wanna call it that are lower in the chassis

Both spur & pinion are worn but still useable and i have left enough clearence for the gears too
Wasn't like this before i took it apart

What will be a good setting for the belt tension ?? as i think it maybe to tight
Motor used is a Ezrun 5.5T

yes your diffs are very tight if it binds up like that. back them off at least 3 or 4 spots..check the build up manual, it should tell you where to put them as a baseline setting. ive dont the same thing and i actually damaged my motor and my front belt...100 bucks later it was working again..you want them as loose as possible without them jumping when you take off at the start or during heavy breaking...shoot me a pm if you need help

I've been looking at a Hobbywing eZRun 60A and a Mamba Max ESC 5700 or 7700.

Please tell me if im looking at the right ESC's

If you're going to run stock class sedan, I'd get something like this:

or

Either way, you'd be getting a good inexpensive start in that class.

TRF shock

Hi guys, I need a suggestion about the Tamiya TRF shock.
Does it make a lot different to replace the shock with the TRF shock, compare with the stock Tamiya plastic shock that come with the TA05 V2?
Please advise me, thank you.

I'm new to the TA-05 v2 and need some help. My car only seems to go if I push it, once it stop it wont move forward any more although the steering still works.

Do I need a new ESC, if so please recommend one?

Thanks!

I agree - if you are using a brushless motor, check the sensor cable...I had the happen to me before, and was fixed by replacing the sensor cable

first try pulling on the wires that go to the brushes and see if they move freely, you can also remove the spring and see if they are worn to nothing, when they get about 1/4 of the size pictured the springs have trouble pushing them hard enough to make contact with the comm.

Took the engine out resodered wires but still no luck.
Any recommendations for new brushless engine and esc combo?
I rather get a nice one and spend a little money then buy a cheap one and have to replace it shortly. I plan on Racing not drifting.

for a boosted class, can't go wrong with the Tekin RS

blinky = no dynamic timing in the speedo, all timing is on the motor
boosted = dynamic timing in the speedo

a lot of tracks run a blinky 17.5 class, but you'd need to see what your local track actually does

Can you tune the plastic shocks with pistons?

quinn moon??? you're still around??

yes, the plastic shocks can still be tuned with pistons...All of tamiya shocks have always been said to be outstandings - you just get the bling factor with the TRF (plus threaded adjusted, super smooth inners)...but anything (aside from the threaded adjusters) for the TRF shocks can be added to the plastic body shocks...just make sure they are the black plastic, not the see thru stuff - that plastic is much more brittle
