BLING too right!!!!

Patto this isn't the roll centre adustments you were calling for is it? Not sure alloy bulkheads are a wise move, have seen issues with them back in the TT Ts4n days.

Default Noisy servo when braking?

hi guys,
is it normal for the T/B servo to be making noise whenever u brake?

it's quiet when throttle but it's noisy when braking. i've check the linkages and they're not binding at all...

btw, i've just changed to the futaba bls451 servo.

I already have a spektrum radio so, i'm thinking

Engine

header and pipe

2 servos

Will i have to buy spur and pinion gears for it? and if so, do you guys have any recommendations as to what to get brand wise for the above and what teeth pinion and spurs?

I'm looking for speed but, i'm also trying to get a racing club started in my area becuase driving in a straight line is only fun for a little while.


thanks for the help and i look forward to driving a TM car very soon.
NC Racer,

For the price any of the Picco .12 Red dot engines with the Picco pipe you can't go wrong, Best bang for the buck.

KO Propo or Futaba high speed servos and as stated by previous post get the mini receiver.

Spurs and pinions, I'd at least try and get 1 of each and 2 if possible on each of the 16t 1st gear pinion 20t & 21t 2nd gear pinion;51t & 52T 2nd gear spur; 45t,46t and 47t 2nd gear spur.

Hope that helps, Best of Luck.

G4RS

It's because TM insist on supplying direct to customers around the world, undermining distributors and stores in the region mentioned.

There needs to be a management change over there at TM Taiwan!

Politics!

Anyway. Back to racing.

what can we say ........

TM is shooting themselves in teh foot again, dont they learn !!!
Didnt even know there was a TM Europe.

question :
why wouldnt the Kfactory WC kit for the G4RS not work on a G4S ???
Should be able to transfer over most if not all G4S parts to mke a complete car and that is including ED trans.

yup, adjusted...any less my brakes will not be strong enough already.

about the WC chassis...3mm is fine as long as it's stronger than the current RS 3mm chassis.
price? no idea but hopefully <100?
