Hi Everyone! Im new to the forum here. Been outta 10scale for awhile now, since 2002. But I picked myself up a TA05 IFS car from one of the local gents at our club. Handles nice. But it was pretty slow compared to everyone else (I think that why it handled so well ) It came with the following
-Original Tub (using now)
-Futaba Servo
-Trinity 17.5t motor
-LRP spx super stock esc
-TRF shocks all around
-gen-es 3000Mah 35c Bats (2)
I've made a few changes....but need more
-Savox servo
-Team Orion VSTpro 17.5T motor
-Thunder power 5300 Mah 65c Bat.
Not much done in the chassis itself, but I was thinking of getting a carbon fiber chassis. I wanted to ask you the 'pros' what do you all think I should change as well, and what should be my next priority. Any help is always welcomed. I'll post up some pics of it later.
Thanx!

How are you geared compared to everyone else? (final drive gear ratio)

I'm geared very similar to Everyone at the track. If we are doing our parking lot race it's from 4.5-4.3
On the largest outdoor track, the gearing varies from 3.5-3.8
With the new electronics in: the thunder power bat w/ the 65c and Orion get pro stock 17.5 the car is defiantly much quicker n I was able to keep pace with all the other cars down the straight away and out of the turns. But now the car seems to be looser. So I'm just trying to figure the car out now. But was just wondering with the chassis and electronics that I have...is that enough upgrades to compete, or if there are anything else I should get and put in the car. As far as it being loose out if the turns now, I think it's a matter of playing with the settings of the car and setup. Thanks for the reply

For drifting set up what gearing do you use?

Already had the left rear arm popout of the chassis. What is the aluminum hopup I need to hold the arm rods in.
edit:
Is this it?

most likely...you can try HPI/HB ones - I know they should be an almost exact fit (i've used them in the past on my other tamiya's)
AE/Losi/xray probably will fit, but it might be a trial-and-error kind of thing...ask a buddy with another chassis to try his before buying something that won't work
as long as there's the little nubbin' and a screw hole, it all should work - just remember you'll have to replace both just in case the holes (to put the body pins) don't line up
