a lil bit of play at the SpurGear. might be a lil tricky to get 64pt gears to mesh perfectly. but hey, my TA05v2 isnt perfect either. alum spur adapter may help some.. really smooth diff/gearbox!! longitudinal chassis stiffness is great. not too much twist in the chassis. very narrow!!
rear end assembly is very interesting.. very easy to change wheelbase.. yet still very adjustable. NICE!!!
Think i just found my new favorite kit...
anyone wanting to graduate from the mini M0* series will find this a nice step..
cant really think of anything the kit 'needs'
Bravo TAMIYA!!
can't wait to get mine next week!
Nice to see a TC that is different from the same old 4WD platform. I was getting sick from the lack of creativity these days. Though it may not handle as good in the faster classes, it is a perfect platform for beginners. Cheap, easy to maintain, less parts, etc. I'm just all excited because my roots of TC racing was the FF01. Got the TA02 later on and sold it, but couldn't let the FF01 go for some reason
Just from the standpoint of observation, I think it will need a sway bar set and a solid steering rack if it is anything like the TB/TA ones. Then again, we all know what Tamiya is capable of, so we will get suckered into the "bling". I know I'll get those carbon reinforced plastic parts.
