I'm using the hobbywing xerun v10 motor with the exotek motor adaptor on my tb04. My motor also has that 'dimple' if you look at the picture but I'm still able to get the pinion and spur to mesh perfectly without any problems. However, I'm using no shim and I use robinison racing 52/73t 64p gears

Hi CraigMBA,
Yes it is as close to the motor as possible. I think when I tighten it the exotek spacer slip and move up a little bit. Causing the shim to hit th pinion. If I loosen up 1/10 turn it doesn't hit. Did I overtighten it?
Without the spacer/shim only half of the pinion and spur line up. Little contact
I am using a CRC 52T pinion. should I use a different brand pinion?
Thanks
Danny

No, I used a CRC also. My problem was getting the pinion close enough to the can. I lined up and worked, but it wasn't perfect. I think the way I fixed it was switch to a narrower spur.

In the front and rear gearboxes, I moved all the shims to the side without the ring gear and its so much smoother!
Anyway, I had this crazy idea of buying the parts that will convert my tb04 into a tb03 so that I can find out which one is better.
Tamiya (#54053) TB-03 Aluminum Propeller Joint Set (R)
Tamiya (#54099) TB-03 Carbon Reinforced K Parts (Stiffener)
Tamiya (#54147) TB-03 Carbon Reinforced Chassis
Tamiya (#54150) TB-03 Aluminum Motor Mount
Tamiya (#54249) 3X32mm Alum. Turnbuckle Shaft
Tamiya (#53601) Low Friction 5mm Adjuster
Yeah Racing (#SC-A310) Cap Screw 3x10 mm
3-Racing TB03 Titanium Screw Set
Does anyone know if the tb04 prop shaft works on the tb03?
Will cost $120, however as you can see its all the hop up versions of the parts. Have I missed anything? My biggest complaint is that I might have to dremel a bit of the battery tray to get a brick lipo to fit and I value a neat, tidy car alot!

If you dremel the outside set of ribs off, the battery fits in perfect.

It's not a hack, it's an upgrade. I did three of mine on the mill. The last one I did with the dremel in about sixty seconds.
My TCS winning car from last year got nothing milled on it, I glued left over plastic suspension spacers on the chassis to center a square lipo in the hole. All of them are equally sano with the battery installed.

I don't think they would make a flat chassis, it seems that the TA and TB chassis are destined to always be a tub. I think a longitudinal motor mount conversion kit for the tb04 will be a good idea, all is needed is new low deck, motor mount and some center transmission bits. Would be a great tuning aid for tb04 owners.

I really like the amount of steering my tb04 has, I don't think I want to give it up for a slightly quieter drivetrain
