I got a converted TA05-R to TA05 IFS-R.
It has lots of options...
53883 TA05 carbon steering link
53893 Lightweight carbon lower deck
53990 TA05 alu bulkhead
53994 TA05 IFS rear carbon damper stay
54019 TA05 IFS alu bulkhead

There are some more, can't remember them. Also the steering and rocker arms have bearings in them.

My problem is.... I tried the chassi on 4 seperate scales to weigh it in with lipo.
I then saw the difference in weight on each wheel. What puzzle me is the way it was distributed.
Front left was 370g
Rear right was 380g

Front right was 240g
Rear left was 250g

Why are the weight so unusual? Just to get a basis and that the place i measured was straight i also tested my TA04-R and that was 10g to 20g off on each corner.

My guess is the chassi has tweak in it, but it's brand new. I changed oil in dampers and put on new springs. No difference. I took the car apart to see and found nothing wrong.

Anyone have a clue?
