As to running, I would run a spool outdoors or really thick (1 million / 500k) oil in the front diff for more steering. I ran this combo and managed to win outdoors on a low grip outdoor track with this combo.
There are some TT02 carbon shock towers coming soon, and the TT02s ones will be available, this will help even more options. (I can fit TRF arms without the S-Spec parts). I just want to track test it.
Thanks everyone for all the info! I will look through my parts trees. Lots of tamiya kits, so it shouldn't be a problem to find something, and order the specific parts in the meantime. Really dedicated to this chassis for some reason.
Qatmix: I bought pretty much everything listed on your site for it, so with the front universals and metal cups, I should be good to go with it locked. Got thick oils too, so maybe I'll use one of diffs from the 3 kits I have and try swapping both in for comparison.
I got some of those GPM universals you have on there, too, and was wondering if they are compatible with the 'tamiya cups for universal joint', or only the plastic ones on the kit? It sounds like you need them for the tamiya universals, but wondering if they are cross-compatible. Have a pair of the Tamiya shafts too. Which would you put on the front? Sounds like they are both high quality parts.
Thanks again for all your hard work on the site. It's been fun to follow. I even got an ARC, but that decision was only bolstered by you getting one. It seems like a great choice in the current market I had pretty much decided on it before seeing your review - then I was sold.
