DON'T CLICK THOSE LINKS!!!
Um... I am very skeptical as to what those links are...
Anywho, I will be getting a TA-05 chassis soon. Ironically enough, the setup has a center one way and diff in the front. I will definitely be experimenting with the tightness of the front diff, and it's effect on the apparent "handbrake" effect of the one way.

What I did observe when I started to put more power (modified level) into the car that the plastic diff cups (standard and high precision) would melt together (some completed fused together creating a spool!). This was overcome with replacing the plastic diffs to aluminium ones.
My TA05MS has taken a severe beating and have only managed to snap a front carbon damper stay (able to be repaired and ran it for 2wks), lower arm and a couple of belts. All of these breakages have been attributed to a known cause (universal pins coming out or locking mainly).
I think Tamiya's a very strong, if not stronger than they used to be 20yrs ago. I guess plastics have come a long way!

In 2 years or so of racing mine, ive only bent a hingepin, snapped a rear plastic toe bridge (easily upgradable to the TRF Blue ones) and snapped a diff bolt. Not bad going in my eyes!

Any particular reason for trimming the spur gear? Or did you just get a piece of plastic that was hanging around, to serve as a spacer?
I will need to fit a Mamba Max in a Ta-05 chassis, so I am going to assume that I will need to mount it on something higher as well.

TA05-R IFS
Okay guys, I currently race the original TRF415 and I've been thinking of upgrading to a TA05-R IFS. My question is... Is this a competative car? Is the IFS front suspension geometry an overall advantage? How does it compare to a HB Cyclone? I've always been a Tamiya fan though. I'll be racing in a 10.5 class with a Speed Passion GT v1.1 and Novak ss10.5 Thanks in advance.

I was hoping for a competative entry level car...

Is this the mike huckabee i know?
If so, you should definately get the cyclone (which ever one that would float your boat considering the options hotbodies offers) or the 416. The 415 would be more of a compitition tc than the tao5 in my oppinion.
P.S. what happened to your old 10.5?

IF you can find a peice of plastic to fit, it will work if its think enough. For me, all I had was the spur gear, and trimming it was required just to get a round peg to fit the square hole, so to speak. I don't use the funky metric pitch anyway. It works great however.

okay, another tuning update that i tried last night and ........... i have tried a spool in the front before on the borrowed car i used and didn't like it. but now that i have mine and getting really into it, tried spool again as suggested by one of the fast guys @ SIR last night and man, what a difference it made. I was having issues with on and off power pull with the one-way. changed it to the spool and that went away and it's getting more dialed than ever. Thanks again for all your guys help here and a big thanks to BIG D @ SIR.
