What Toe in are you running in the rear. You may want reduce it by 1/2 to a full degree.

Default necessary replacements for my ta05

hi i have a ta05
this is my story

over the weekend 5/6 i put a 19t motor and chewed up my differential outdrives, I had universals on the the front and back, btw they were 46mm off an evo3 not the 48mm prescribed. so i'm replacing all of the above.

I replaced the black servo saver because it was binding. i dremel sanded the black plastic spring; no work. i the put the pieces together without the spring; still bindy. so I just replaced the whole thing. so i replace it with a white servo saver with the brass springs. I noticed it first when i took a fast hard turn and it's 'straightness' wasn't so straight anymore. the black servo saver didn't spring back to center.

i put in carbon damper towers. did you know that after putting in the rear mount you have to put wider holes on the lexan body? kinda sucked.

I found out that puting a piece of masking tape to cover the center gear keeps rocks away. covering the bottom holes doesn't do anything there's no vacuum effect. is there a tamiya cover on the way?

stabilizers from a tb02 front and back; they don't fit. i tried (front & back) it don't fit. you can make it fit, but then what are you going to use on your tb02? i retract my previous post.

i noticed that most if not all of the screws on the ta05 are machine screws; even when screwing on plastic to plastic. i've had less chewed threads on this model...

Why does R/C Tech Forums have the longest thread(s) on the Internet? Why don't they categorize it into manufacturers, then to models?

Why is this thread #4000-something? this is really ghetto.

Hi RocketRacer,

No using universals will do nothing to sort out this problem, universals just function better than dogbones when the front wheels are turned and the power is on.You may notice some chatter coming from the front dogbones, if you put your car on a stand and turn the wheels to one side while applying full throttle. Universals often sort that out.

i thought so, i put in extra red urethane bushings to cut down the "looseness" of the stock dogbones. i got a set of tuned springs today, i will be trying varoius combinations and suspension settings to resolve this issue. the severe understeer slowed me down alot in the stock class over the weekend. but i still managed a 2nd place in the final.

my TB Evolution IV still shone like a champ in mods though. and all i had in it was a Tamiya Dyna Run 13x2 motor with a LRP 3600 pack and managed to to TQ and win the final!!!

Hi,

I also had a problem of understeering, I found this was due to the standard servo saver. I replaced it with a Kimbro medium Touring car version and now its superb!

Tamiya Alum shocks/ low friction dampers get the adjustable ones and save you years of shimming....

Universals are good (mainly front) as well as 1-ways. You can be very competitive with little to no hopups.

i did replace the standard servo saver with a tamiya High torque servo saver. still no joy. i am going to try a more powerful servo too.

Thanks for the input. I have TRF shocks already which were won a a TCS Race and will be taken off my TT01 for sure. Next question, what types of set ups are you all running?

Thanks

Paul
