As i am a newbie to racing, i am not really sure whether that is overheated or not. but at least, if you put your fingers on the motors for 3 seconds, you will feel unbearable. I am going to get some pinion to put down the FDR to 5.58 and see how is that going.
About the dirt, I just cleaned it last night and rebuild the bulkhead according to this article:
http://www.taobracing.net/review_evoIV.shtml
i am pretty sure the screw are tight, but maybe i did not tighten them properly. but that is not that easy to make it balance at all sides.
and what I did either is put some grease on the gap from inside the bulkhead to prevent the dirt from coming in. i will open it later when i do the maintainance to see whether it is alright or not.
Thanks you all
go get the pinion tomorrow and try, then go to the race on sunday, my virgin racing..............

btw..if your motor is unbearable to touch after you run.. you might be overgeared? when you get your new pinions... run 2-3 laps.. pull over and touch the motor. if its too hot..then gear down. thats how i test when im using new motors. the 5.6 FDR is for the Tamiya Track. so it might not be best for the track you race at.

Re: New/prototype arms and L shaped knuckles
It looks like the shock mounts directly onto the knuckle rather than onto the arm.
Does any one know what this would do besides reducing play between the wheel and the shock shaft?
Does it cause the shock to compress more as the camber increases?

After looking at the L-uprights, those will not work at all. There is no way the suspension could move up and down with that part sticking out.
What I do know is I after looking at the pic again... I want the silver ball cups!!! Anybody have a part number?

The silver ball studs? They are factory titanium balls studs from way back when....unless David ran out and used old steel ones.

Upgrading motor
Hi there,
Hope someone can help me.
Recently got a TB-02 and thinking of putting in a new motor, 19T, instead of the stock Mabuchi. Problem is I'm not sure which spur to use or if I need to get a new pinion for a proper match.
Here's the stock specs:-
1) Internal Ratio 2.6
2) Spurs 61T, 58T and 55T
3) Stock Pinion 19T
Stock setting for the Mabuchi can is 58T spur and 19T pinion.
I'd be glad if someone can helpme out on the final drive ratio for a 19T motor. If you can give me the final drive ratios for the other motors, from 27T to 9T, that would be very helpful.
My friend tried to use the 7.94 ratio on his 19T motor and it became damn hot!
Really at a loss now as I can't proceed on with my TB-02 without knowing what spur to put in, or whether I need new pinions.
Thanks for reading!
Cheers!

When I raced my TB-02 at the TCS race I used the stock gearing 58/19 with a 27 turn stock motor. Our track is really a small and tight indoor asphalt track so I needed to keep the gearing low.
At the out door TCS race I went to a few weeks ago the track was alot larger and I was able to gear my car up some using the stock motor. I used both a 22/58 gearing and tried the 21/58. Both were better but I ended up with the 22/58 for my final gearing.
For 19 turns you might want to the 22/58 gearing as I normally gear my 19 turn motors higher than the stock motors most of the time.

Thanks for your speedy reply, Brian. Much appreciated.
Will get the 22T tomorrow and continue with my TB-02.
Cheers!

If your track is a large one i would go for 22/55. Its what we use over here.

Thanks for your view!
Will the 22T/55T combo work well with a 15T motor?

Well, I don't really race. It's just for fun run. And to see how fast the baby goes, of course.
Cheers!
