When the chassis starts to spin out the gyro will counter steer for you. If the chassis starts to spin when either turning into a corner or when wheels spin coming out of the corner depending on how you have set up the gyro it will correct the steering so will help keep it on line. It means you can run softer front tyres for more steering grip for faster cornering without worrying about the car spinning out.

The real question is if it will be faster than the gp. So far my t- bar car has been a couple of tenths faster at every other nw track.

Got it, thanks for all the comments from you guys, in conclusion, I will take the 24t pinion from the kit and test run for few minutes then check the motor temp. if it is not more than 160f then I can go for higer tooth. Any idea about the highest range of tooth I should get, 33t?
Any one can answer the question from "merkyworks" above in regards to the cooling fan, do I need to put the fan for the esc or better place it at the motor...... OR just leave it, thank you.

Hi Shadow, your word make me feel more agressive now, what about the Lipos, I only got one pc of 4200mah 45C for test purpose as shown in the attachment, any suggestion for better performance and matching with my esc and motor, of course longer time better, a long one or the short one... always greedy on the playing time. Thanks

My front ride height doesn't seem to be as bad as others. I'm at 5mm with the silver springs.
Speaking of production issues though, my kingpin mount doesn't seem to be threaded all the way through. This is the farthest I can get the screw in before it starts to strip.

A little OT here,
I have here a F104Wgp which I converted to 190 width and I love it! Im just waiting for the TRF 101 front end conversion kit so I can have the taste of 101 on my Wgp. I really love the rear suspension of my Wgp, simple effective and can survive some crashes. I also cut some parts of my top deck to have an easy access for my shorty

Raced my TRF101 today and I liked it a lot.
I made many bad moves but that was because the car's speed and handling gave me too much confidence. My f104v2 might not get any more run time.
I am driving the yellow car. (There were at least 3 other TRF's at the race today including Difuser's which TQ'd.)

Could you share some pictures and details of your set up? I would like to know if you are using a full length battery or shorty. And where you placed your electronics to balance the weight.
I start my build tomorrow.
