Xv-01 front arms on a TB03.
TC short reversible arms found on tb03/04, Ta05v2, ta06, trf416... Are very limited in droop. 1 because of chassis molding, which you can see I milled away. 2 the hub carrier and arm interface just blocks downward motion without modification. I opted in this case to use xv-01 front arms TB suspension blocks with mad spacers underneath to get almost 22mm droop, similar to the rear (needs no modifications using TC arms).
I had to use 44mm cvds instead of the 42mm CVDs for the Xv-01.
This modification while producing a significant increase in suspension travel has increased chatter to a crazy amount. I am not sure if dcj would resolve the issue. It only happens when wheels are mounted.
Rally forever.
I tried this on my TB03 too, but never liked how this frontend performed... I can't explain why..
Std axles work fine, after some mods, but reasonable ride height can be achieved only with removed downstops.
You can try one thing: Rear arms from XV01 can fit knuckles with only minor shimmimg. I have this axle on my RWD rally car and works pretty well.. I just don't know, which length of swing shafts is needed.
