Same with the rear links... I set them vertical by moving the ball end out as far as possible without falling off the bar.

Yes, back to the topic....I have try to mount the 105 stock spur with something like 22-23T pinion.....however, that aluminum upper brace on my TA05R does not allow me to move my 4.5 any closer to the spur....I think I can mount the 26/27T...thats it...
Don't made me use the dremel and hack off that aluninum center brace that can not be bought as a option parts from Tamiya....

I use the 109 with a 25 pinion, puts me at 9.8. The spur sticks at the bottom slightly but no interference. You can also use a 108 spur and that should work also to get you in the ratio you need, this doesn't stick out the bottom at all.

They are white and very smooth. They also sell the pinion sizes you need, if you don't already have them!
