Yes, the plastic diff gears would go out on the first battery pack. You need the steel gears below.

All diffs from my shafties have steel internals from the beginning. Install and forget.

Agreed. I had the plastic originals and they lasted a few runs with a strong 17.5. Afterwards I installed the metal gears and no issues. I would also get the new alloy diff case and your diff will be bullet proof.

Thanks for the info. That sucks.. I hate extra rotating weight lol.. but if you can't finish a main then none of that matters :P

I have run Hahn truck 4 hour endurance with a 17.5 brushless though... With Aw grease only in the diffs and it took it like a champ :O Step it up on your TB game Tamiya

I know you asked about carpet, BUT, I ran both versions on asphalt and the front motor position is way better. It was almost like being just on the edge of good performance with the rear position to being on rails with the front position. I drove on carpet with the front position and I was not able to find a good set up in a short period of time.

In the spirit of helping, I also noticed that the photos above in previous posts show the carbon chassis supports screwed in along each available hole. This hop-up is absolute magic. If you change which holes to screw into and attach to the base chassis, you are able to alter the flex characteristics tremendously. I run the front screw and the outside rear screw only and it stiffens up the chassis just a little. I have also raced my best laps without that hop up attached at all. With all of the screws in, there is very little flex, and that might be good on black carpet plus using the blue tamiya springs. Just another 2 cents. Dang, I might already have 36 cents invested in my advice!

Yes this is the main issue,its the quality off plastics,that is the main issue.I run my tb05 also with steel gears and also the Also diff housing and iT runs like a breeze.Also the diff runs smoother..Only thing,you need too shim the diff.At least I had too do that.

I run the Carbon reinforced chassis and Carbon braces on Tarmac, no problems here.but we have an technical corners on oud track and iT really helps. The chassis response is direct
Only problem with the tb05 I have is the Steering slob and Ihave not been able too elaminate this.Because the servo mount also moves when I move the steering wheel on my transmitter..
