with the release of the TB-02's optional parts. does anyone think the centre SSG stiffener will fit on the Evo III?

i have tried it Tech Racing's chassis with their centre stiffener and found it to be very stiff. perfect for carpet. although the chassis is designed with a shorter wheel base.

besides using MR-S of the Audi TT.
can't seem to find any other shells that will fit this design.

any ideas?


have a red Square aluminum upper deck holders if anyone is interested.

please don't reply here. leave a PM

Thanks!

Yesterday we had the 1st round of our national 21T Super Stock Championship and I've done pretty good. I actually finished 2nd after a TC3

Some questions .... please

- Are Acer Ceramic bearings good for the TB EVO3 SE?
- Is there a lighter main drive shaft, maybe graphite that fits?
- My drivetrain is already pretty free, how can it be improved?
- Does the QUANTUM WORLDS OPTION KIT really improves acceleration to the LRP Quantum speed controller?

Thanks a lot for your help

Talking Finished build of Surikarn

Hi Guys,

Got my Surikarn build finished - just need to get a servo, ESC and some batteries and I'll be ready for action :-)

The build went really well, the only problem I encountered was the building of the shocks - not so much the shocks themselves, simply when I tried to set the spring pre-tension to what the manual said (2mm and 3mm, I think), the springs were still loose!!! I ended up screwing the ball joint adapters in too far and the shock rods were starting to come out of the ends I screwed them back, and they seem ok - but I'm a bit confused what I did wrong, in that I have to set the pre-tension to 3.5mm before it hits the spring

Anyway, here's a pic of the Surikarn in its "finished" state. It's had a quick setup on the Hudy board to make sure the suspension is ok.

Cheers, Mark.

I was, too, of the opinion that only cool people have these cars

Mine only looks so clean because I haven't driven it yet

I'm still undecided whether to go for a Quantum Competition ESC or not - I want to run in the Euro-Cup (if I get everything ready in time) and therefore I'm only going to run a 17T Motor.

I'm still looking for a servo, too. Fav. ist def. the Futaba S9550 - any other suggestions?

Cheers, Mark.

the Futaba S9550 is a really good servo. I´m also using one in my EVO3. Because of it´s small size you have more room for the other electronics.

Exactly! Where can you buy them cheap in Germany?

Mark-The preloads are for setting ride height. Don't worry about what the book says for this. Get a ride height gage and use them to set your ride height. 4-5mm is a good start for any surface.
