Dave,
Like the silver parts you've stripped. What mag cleaner did you use? Think I'm going to do the same.
Have you got Eric Wippler's carbon drive shaft yet? The drive shaft, Exotek's or R1's lightened out drives in the rear really give this chassis a ton of forward bite out of the corner. Both of these items combined will save you 10-12 grams in the drive train. If your going to run 17.5T, try theTB03 aluminum ball diff (54056) too. It holds up great as far as rebuilding with a 17.5T. Another large weight savings in the drive train over the Tamiya gear diff. If you want to stay with a gear diff, try the Spec R (SPR009-TB) Sean @ TQ has both diffs in stock.
Tamiya gear diff - 25 grams
Spec-R gear diff - 19 grams
TB03 Ball Diff - 14 grams

Tamiya & shafties
Guess I dove into the deep end
Thanks for the tips
Any mag wheel cleaner for "non clear coated" wheels will do
Should only take a few minutes, don't leave it in any longer than necessary
Recommend placing a bearing in the mount while soaking to keep tolerance the same
Rinse with water when blue is gone

Hi guys,
This is my first time building a Tamiya and shaft touring car, and when I started building my Tamiya Evo 6 (stuck at Bag A), I realized that the required metal shims (particularly 5x10x0.1mm and 5x10x0.3mm which will be used in many different parts of the car) are insufficient in Bag A (as indicated in the setup manual). I couldn't find these metal shims in other bags too.
Can you all please advise me as I'm a noob in Tamiya type car and shaft type. Thank you.

Thanks for your prompt reply. So it is normal that Tamiya shortchange small parts like metal shims in its out of the box car kit?
I bought the black version at a discounted price of USD$290 in my LHS, as they are shifting out of the location and having a last new one.
Do you think it is a good car as touring car usually are belt type due to the imbalance swinging and couldn't run straight?
Also, is TB Evo 6 part of the TRF family and does it consider as a pro kit?
Thank you.

Every bit as fast as a TRF, if not faster
TRF belt cars are a more obvious choice for mod where efficiency is not an issue

and very happy with both kits, I just needed few extra shims...everyone who
I know that has built a quality Pro kit all have extra shims in there tool
case...I just need more at the time. My advice always keep a few extra
shims in your tool case.

Had a chance to run the new evil-six around our carpet track yesterday
With very little tuning it was quick and fun to drive
Used Yokomo Pink Front, Blue Rear springs
Pos 8 on shock towers Fr & Rr
450 cst
Car was surprisingly quiet too, sounded like a belt car, steel diff gears and all
Needs some tidying up before next outing
