Just before the summer of this year I bougt two TA-05 kits.
One as birthday present for my son, ( clubchampion in the beginner class )
and one for myself.
The kit for my son was totally hopped up with great 3Racing stuff an carbon chassis.
We are getting now to a point that the setup and balance of both cars is realy good.
Now and then we swich cars to see and feel whitch one is easier or better to drive.
The both drive equaly good but the one with the 3Racing chassis was much easier to setup, because the car responded more direct to changes in the setup.
In our small indoor club ( carpet ) we had a qualification day for the next race season.
I drove the standard TA-05 and managed to set the best time in the 19 turns class.
Only a MSX (mre) with a 12 turns engine was 0.2 seconds faster in his best lap.
I think i shoud swich with te MSX to make a complete compare.
Never had so much fun, shouting here comes the 90 dollar car!
The only things i want to change still are de diff balls,
I ordered ceramic ones.
Further I made new shock bridges from epoxy plates to get the right ride heigt with the standard shocks.
There are still some refinements to make at the setup,
but it takes a lot of time , since you can only change one thing at the time.
I am open for any usefull setup suggestions on the standard car.
My mission in our club is to prove that you dont need all those expensive hopups to have a fast and reliable car.
