Nice ! Have you tested it ?

I've got a two race day driven 102 for sale. It has a full Exotek front end on it. I modified the stock servo holder to accept exo front end. That's the only mod I have done. All other parts and manual will come with it along with some extra t plates. Pm me with phone number and I will send pics. $300 shipped! I just got another TC and this will be sitting so it's got to go.

Has anyone messed with the 101 front end? I was thinking on getting one for my 102

Hey guys, I just picked up this cool chassis, what kind of options, hop-ups are recommended?

I built my 102 right out of the box with the carbon 101 front end.

Worked fine at the Tuning Haus (last of the 21.5 around here) Summer Party race. :sneaky:
Just added the shims needed to lower the front ride height down to 4.5mm or so with the rubber tires.

Also drove it 1 run on high grip carpet with the same setup straight off the asphalt just for the hell of it and it was also pretty dang good.
I plan to leave that car for asphalt though. At least for now ;)

I have the 101 suspension hop-up but I don't know whether to fit it on my 101 or 102. I know it is meant to give the 101 loads of steering on carpet.

For carpet I would recommend some means of reducing chassis flex. a regular 104 chassis can be easily adapted to achieve the desired flex or a 104x1 long upper deck will also do the trick with a little dremel work.

For low grip asphalt the steel axle can be helpful.

Some softer center springs would also be a good idea.

hi guys,

building my trf102 right now, and trying to figure out how to mount the exotek adjustable arm. do i need to get the exotek servo mount? thanks.

No.....it should work just fine....I have the Exotek front on mine......you have to change out the blue ball end nuts with ball end screws on the camber block and the back of the servo mount...that's the best way I can explain it, but it works just fine....if I figure out how to post pix I will if that will help

Upper deck prototype is complete, and the t-bar template if ready. However I ran the car tonight and it's super smooth and easy to drive....it handled all the turns well. I did notice a bit of push at first, but after the grip came up on the track away went the push and it began to handle like a dream. Braking was very predictable. I was able to get the car within a half second from pace, which is about 1.5 seconds faster than my best with my F104. I am a little worried about breaking the t-bar so I wasn't pushing as hard as I normally do....with more laps I feel that I can shave more time off. Sunday is race day, so we'll see how I do against all those x1s at my club....hopefully it will be TRF for the win.

Here is the difference between the stock and beefed up T-Bar

My 102 for next week, first french championship indoor round, new unproven body and Esc but found 1s/lap with a four times world champion driver behind the wheel, :lol: .Alain Prost, who drove the Red Bull for real in demos.
