Anyone know what spring kits fit the long damper kit?
Thanks in advance

Supposedly buggy fronts I believe.

Thanks mate but do you know what model!? Sorry for the noob questions..This is my first Tamiya.

Hi Jarrod,

I believe the shock set you'll need with the longer damper stays / shock towers are two sets of the tamiya mini dampers (not super mini) (2x 50519 I think) and a set of the front TRF501x springs (53974).

Hope that helps,
Crouch

I'm planning on buying a xv-01, it will be my first rally car. Can someone point me in the right direction to where as I can find a spoiler for the body? I'm looking at buying a Subrau body. I'm also looking for a place that has a good selection of rally bodies to purchase. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

If you are referring to the Subaru Team Arai kit, yes it comes with the spoiler. The actual car it replicates did not have it though, which is why box art pictures did not show it.

I really want one of these.

Has anyone I see them for drifting?

Out of the box they are perfect for drifting, since the rear end is light.

Being front motor and belt driven goes a long way for drifting. You will also want to put the spool in the back and the one way in the front.
The closest thing to being an issue is steering angle and this chassis has none.

As a drift car, this car is crazy similar to the TA03f in the build but with alot more options this time around. I don't have an XV, but my buddy does and I looked at his chassis and researched and planned it out. Steering aside, this is probably the best non-drift specific chassis available.

I want one of these so bad.

What's the difference between the pro and normal xv01? Is the pro worth it? I hope they won't be discontinued like the ta03f

TRF dampers and CVDs which are over $120 in value in hop ups. The rest are blue aluminium tid bits which look nice... But not necessarily needed. So the trade off is hop ups or body

Getting mine ready for snow.. Took time to fillin holes in chassis bottom. I first taped the holes on chassis bottom. Then from the top side I used shoegoo. It dawned on me afterward that the shoegoo may not stick to chassis too well. So once it set, I removed tape in chassis bottom and filled remainder with epoxy.

Nice mod Raman! Be sure to post an update on how well it holds up.

I understand you will be using it for snow, but do you think it will be strong enough to keep sharp rocks out of the chassis? Also, how did you deal with the stuff coming from the top of the steering rack?

I first placed tape over the holes on the chassis bottom. Then I filled the holes in from the top. Once the glue dried, I flipped chassis over and filled in the holes from bottom to make them flush with chassis.

I did not address the steering rack yet.. I am thinking of cutting a piece of lexan to create some sort of cover.

There's a guy on rccrawler that has installed balloons on tie rod ends, extended mud guard etc.. take a look

I'm looking for a starting point for toe, camber and ride height measurements.
Thanks
