I have used Square RC Titanium and Aluminium screws for over 8 years now. Never had a problem with them.

Any idea what is the shock oil rating in the kit? I seem to have found 900 but that seems a bit too hard to be cst. What does that mean in cst?

The yellow is 400 - meant for the shocks. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...psb3d4fb14.jpg |
Mine didn't have any yellow, that is why I was confused.

Not sure if the cst rating is the actual number for the corresponding color, but 400 is a little thin when all the setups use 450-500 with kit pistons. |

Most would buy the kit and never use it though. Bit of a token gesture in a pro level kit. |

That's a big assumption... If your reviewing the Team Setups few state what exact piston is used :sneaky:

I actually realised I asked this in the 417 thread, but makes more sense here in terms of helping people I think.

I got my TDX shims from http://www.rcfunny.com/goods-1659.html
Be patient as delivery can be a bit slow

Thanks. I looked there today but wasn't sure if the site was genuine or not :D
Edit: just ordered - $4, no shipping fee. Let's see if it turns up! So a legit, cheap and reliable source. Excellent. |
Further to above, looks like a new Tamiya part is also out now....

hmm, at least the ones in petit only state 3 hole. did I miss something? :batman::sneaky:
Just trying to point out that one can't assume the posted Team Setup's are 100% accurate. They aren't lying, just missing information...(deliberately or not, who's to know) haha. |
Yeah, I suspect a factory screw up. NO problem, I don't really use Tamiya oils anyway, just wanted to know.
I have noticed most setups use Muchmore oils, which is fine. I use Associated, seems to be the oil local shops stock in a large range and at all times. I wondered about pistons as well because I also noticed there is no mention in setup sheets, but I am not too worried because I don't really follow anyone's setups. The kit only comes with one set of pistons anyway, so why worry? You can always tune with oils, especially if you have a good range. Messing about with pistons is for factory team drivers who can afford to have a range ready on hand. |
