Gday Fellas,
Ok well i'm new here so I better say hello! A few weeks back I went and had a look at some indoor tourers racing on carpet, here in Perth, West Australia. In the past have only ever had offroad cars (Revo, Baja etc etc)
OK so I want to get involved in some sort of TC racing so off I went to the LHS.
I was recomended the TA05, due to its durability and plethora of hop ups available. I ended up grabbing a TA05 IFS chassis, and the build went fine. I added my own esc and steering servo (from an old traxxas elec) and used the supplied silver can. The can had a hung brush and being closed endbell it was chucked. So back to the LHS and I ended up getting a LRP X11 17.5 BL modified, LRP Sphere TC Comp Spec ESC, Trakpower 54002S Lipo, Digital Futaba Steering servo and 69T 48P spur gear. At the moment I am running a 31T pinion gear as thats all that I have handy and have ordered a 35T to start racing with.
I have grabbed an alloy steering setup with bearings off fleabay, as I found the stock plastic one has a fair bit of play and also I have a leaky shock already after a few runs
But anyways I installed the running gear and took her for a fang today and she flies! I've stuck up some pics (the body is pretty rough, I think I had too many beers but can't remember
) so let me know what you think!
