I am having problem with heat issue with my TA05R.
I was running a medium size carpet with 105t spur and 31t pinion, after 5 min race, motor gets bloody hot. Then I down size to a 28t pinion, still running very hot. Didnt measure the temp, but the motor + heatsink is hot enough that you cannot hold on to it for about 3-4 second.
My setup is GT7 esc, Epic 27t, EP4200.

Try running a small receiver like the spektrum micro, small speedo and keep the wires real short and neat.
Have you tried aluminum and or titianium screws ?

I have all aluminum and titanium screws throughout and it shaved over 30 grams...that being said. I actually had no problems with my car being heavier than most at my local club. It handled better than 90% of them did.
Are you running rubber? I actually really like the stock 05 suspension over the lightweight suspension. Much more consistent and much tougher.

how can i shave some weight off my 05R? i have gotten the LW molded chassis, and some CF parts here and there, but my car is still a good 60g overweight at my track. this gives me a big disadvantage to the guys who run T2s and TC4/5s who are able to make weight using lead weights. are there some low-stress areas on the car that can be dremeled away? i have seen in a magazine where they dremeled away some of the rear chassis braces. they removed one of the two "ribs" that span from the center to the outside of the chassis. what are some other ways i can reduce my weight?

Thanks for your input.
Glad you got it sorted out!
I just went through a car my friend traded for. New car (two packs old), the ID is being withheld to protect the guy who assembled it -- but you would think he knew better...LOL...being in the business and all.
C-hubs were reversed (4* positive caster???) and he had it shimmed to add (some) negative caster (probably to make it less squirrelly??? ) and the rear shocks were mounted to the swaybar ballstuds.
So...positive caster and vertical rear shocks.
You could have had worse, huh?

I still put a very respectable qualifying time with GP3700s, and the car weighed in @ about 1530g with those strapped in. Lap consistancy is always your friend to a quick time
I still need to work on the setup too, it was good, but there was something I couldnt quite put my finger on that didnt give it that 110% dialled in edge.

I would go for Titanium, and I think rc-mart sells a screw set- pretty cheap too

RcChamp seels both all aluminum and aluminum/titanium sets. I have the mixed set...awesome quality.

With the battery scallops removed from the chassis (takes 5 minutes with a dremel) the 4800 fits perfect. Thats what I've run for 2 years.
