It is in Danish, but "Omdrejninger" means turns. Use it if you want.
wonder where the block settings came from... http://www.thard.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=49
No biggie

Haha, man, I love my dogs, they would have been safe no matter what. But that's good news about the diff, I'm OVER these spec-r pieces of *ish.

If you spend a little time with some fine sandpaper and use AE green slime on O rings. The spec-r diff works good with no leaks.

The HPI Blue springs will be hard to find nowdays... I made a request from Japan and they said;

"1 x Hot Bodies Blue Shock Spring (1 pair) - Part # 6542 has
been out of stock in the maker and the back in stock dose not
fix yet either"


@ kentech,
Do you have any pic's of the new diff?

Hello all,

I recently got my TRF 417 (first tamiya) and so far so good.
Been testing alot with the setup but got a few questions.

The track im running has low grip currently

1. Rear grip problem, on throttle the rear is very loose.
2. Any advice to get more steering in the car?

I've uploaded a setup sheet of my current setup.

Thanks all, if need more info just ask.
