That is where I put my switch when I was using the WC front battery and didn't like it exposed. Mounted a mod battery tray in front but there's no more room for the ko switch though. Didn't know I could put the transponder inside the receiver tray, did u have any problems with the PT inside? Thanks

Heres how I did mine. Lid opens no problem, and transponder is held on with Novak's double sided 'gel' tape stuff. Been setup this way for about 4 months now without issue.

We'll (hopefully) soon find out for sure, but I think those are the Fioroni lightweight driveshafts. Apparently they're so lightweight (and hence weak, lacking stiffness/strength) that even Fioroni themselves don't recommend running them for long main event races, only qualifiers.

Hey aaron, I know you are using OS speed. Are you using their tune pipe too? If you do, mind sharing how you line the exhaust line without touching the tune pipe? If you look at mine, I thought I've line them quite well but realize when I put the body on, the line will touch the pipe, which is not a good idea.

Yep, I'm running an OS 2090 pipe with the Speed 19 but I don't think it really matters too much if the pressure line is touching the pipe just a little. As long as it isn't being pushed into the pipe with a decent force, making the line stay in contact with the pipe constantly and for quite a few cm's, I don't see it as being too much of a problem. Especially as you also have the exhaust pressure/cooler on your pressure line too, that will obviously add some extra cooling, just in case the line does makes a slight contact with the pipe. In the past, I've used some CA glue to attach some fuel line clips to the fuel tank to keep the fuel and pressure lines away form the pipe, making 100% sure they won't touch but don't bother with that anymore. Still have an rarely used, old, spare TKI tank with the clips glued to the side though.
The silicon fuel tubing we use for RC is suppposed to be somewhat heat resistant and remember, gases take heaps longer to warm up and raise the temperature than do either solids or liquids. And it is only the pressure line which is carrying hot exhaust gasses in any case, so if the tubing makes contact just a little bit, for those reasons explained, I don't see it as being all that much of an issue or causing any problems.
Main thing to remember though: gases heat up WAY less/need a lot more energy to raise their temps than liquid or solids. Think of it this way - if you're in a huge cathedral or massive hall with no walls and extremely high ceilings, it's a very cold winter day, turn on a small heater at the very opposite end of the hall/cathedral and wait and see how long it takes until you feel the warmth from the heater; that's if you even do get to feel the warm air.
Hope that helps mate.

Thanks mate. People keep on telling me I should not do that as it will not be good. My thought is like you that it should be ok. I guess I will ignore their advice lol

Yes they are the fioronis. Very lightweight, perfect for indoor high bite. They have survived 3 30 minute A mains and one 45minute. On the same high grip tracks i twisted and snapped the stock unis and CVDs (91 and 93)
The fioronis may accelerate a bit hard for outdoor loose and loamy tracks but i have the 777s for outdoor.

hi guys i have just recieved my tk2 just a few questerns ive been told that to swap my rear drive shafts for my front ones but on inspection both are the same 91 mm ?
is this normal
is this normal

I've never heard of that before actually, about swapping the rear to front. Both are 91mm so no logic to that. But I was advised to change from the 91mm to 93mm for both front and rear which I did and it seems more secure comparing to the 91mm one.

Psr,
it is competely normal. all shaft are 91 mm long but you might want to buy the optional 93 mm universal shafts and put them in the front. This will save you a lot of pain.
