Nice! What part did you use for the mount on the body side? I only know it's 5mm so I need something to convert it to 3mm so I can attach a ball nut.

It handles very much like the outlawed nsx. It's very good.

Got the body all stickers up and I'm pretty happy with it. Looks really good zipping around the driveway. I really like the head and tail lights,the detail is pretty realistic.
Still have to trim the body posts and build the CVA shocks. I ended up taking off the stock servo saver in favor of a Vanquish 20mm servo arm. Much better now. https://i.imgur.com/Jsu3LVR.jpg https://i.imgur.com/OqUv5Pb.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Dpb0P9k.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Du3ctCO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/a2lanqn.jpg |
That looks sexy!

I used tamiya 9808126. The only set I could find in the states was directly from tamiya USA. Been looking for another set for the front but only one I keep finding is one in Hong Kong. I'm working on another solution at the moment see if it works out then I'll post up.

Yes... as to why.. I think it became hard to come by and TCS decided to ban it so people wouldn't hunt for it
The car or just the body? I think I'll get the Raikiri anyway. The NSX and HSV look ok too. A fella had one of the older Audi R8 bodies the other night, that looked decent also. |

Me and my cousin just picked up some TT02Rs for some cheap parking lot racing action. The first couple runs were essentially stock with the addition of the Yeah Racing adjustable motor mount running 17.5 motors. I had some 64P pinions and spurs left over from another car so I threw in 81/47 gearing and things were much better (and it could probably use another couple teeth on the pinion).
My cousin, understandably, cannot let my car be so much faster than his so he will be changing gearing as well. The difference is he would like to stick with 48P gears for some added durability with the target ratio is something in the 4.3 FDR range. I tested 55/33 with some spare gears I had and they did not come close to meshing so I'm thinking something around 60/36 would work. Can anyone give me a 48P recommendation for a 4.3ish FDR that will fit? |
