Does anyone know where I can get alloy or Titanium screws (perferably a kit) for a TA04R???

Has anyone used the Integy/Eagle Chassis? Rear Arm mounts?

Is there any weight benifit of using alloy bits and peices ?

I am trying to upgrade My car for 2004 so I can be a bit more competitive and dropping a bit of weight of the chassis and adding a bit more tuneability is where I am looking... I also want a bit more flexibilty in battery mounting

I would rather use the Aluminum Arm mounts by Tamiya, its much better since you have 2 choices for the rear. They are great on my TAO4-R. The front Alm. Susp. Blocks does not offer any change or advantage in set up but looks cool!!!!!! If you have a little to spare, the SQUARE rear cariers and knuckle arms for the TBevo3 are great for the O4-R and are a direct fit. YOu can achieve 0-3degrees of toe in in the rear with that Option.

For the Ti Screws- Stick with Tamiya Ti Screws, I did! Although any other Ti Screws will do, Its Just to bad that Tamiya does not have a screw kit. A little more on the pocket to get the Tamiya Ti Screws for the Car.

And ofcourse-Ti TurnBuckles, either from Tamiya or Lunsford

Also, the SSG shock tower and upper deck is also a good upgrade for 2004. You just have to change to shorter springs, captured ball ends is also a good choice.

PS: of course alm is a little heavy
TIP: if you are going to get the SSG upper deck use it on top of the regular Carbon upper deck to make the chassis stiffer!

Glad to know they are still a few who is sticking withthe O4-R


Peace and Happy Racing!!

SQUARE offers a Ti Screw kit for the TAO4-R www.rc-square.com
and you can order them at www.rainbowten.co.jp I got most of my stuff from there

The TRF Suspension Blocks offers additional .5 and 1 degree of toe in. Together with the SQUARE rear cariers for the TBevo3, you can achieve a total of 3 degrees of toe in for the rear.

Basically the TRF version has different shock mounting positions and the alum susp. blocks + flourine coated shocks

Can the sway bar holder which is on top of the upper deck, be purchased separately??

No.! I think you can purchase a TA04-TRF Front Stabilizer set. I do have a few friends who did it on there own. I think it just needs some creativity.

Hey everyone. Lots of TA04 option parts for sale at good prices. http://www.rctech.net/forum/showthre...850#post616850

What servo saver do most of you guys use? I've been using a Kimbrough with pretty decent results, but I just upgraded from a JR to a better Futaba servo and I was wondering if I should stick with Kimbrough or if there is something better outhere.
By the way I know this thread is not as popular as it used to be, but the TA04 still rules, just last week I was pleased to lay the smack down to several TC3s. There's fancier, better cars outhere, but I still love my 04.

Hello? Anybody outhere?

I use an Xray servo horn. Direct link baby. The material in the xray horn is soft enough to strip before the servo gears in a huge accident. I've been running them for the last year and have only stripped one arm running Futaba S9550 servos. Of course, if you are accident prone, a Kimbrough servo saver will work just fine.

the 04 still kicks some butt! the thread is not that popular anymore,because the car is so easy to tune that no oneis asking anymore!

I also use a Fut 9550, with the tamiya servo saver. pretty good so far major crashes and the servo, servo saver is still okay!

Peace and Happy Racing!

Thanks guys I switched to the Futaba S3305 (great servo by the way). I'm not a frequent crasher but, better safe than sorry, I guess. I think I'll stick with the Kimbrough.

Nice avatar. Too bad they're not performing very well right now.

Thanks Baluga, hopefully they'll find their pace soon.

Can I convert a 414 to a gt2 legal car..ie swap out lower graphite chassis for tub?

It looks like it would be cheaper to do this than upgrade a ta04r/trf.

To my knowledge, there is no tub chassis for the 414 series of cars. the mounts on the TA04 chassis are different for the bulkheads. I think your better off buying a TRF or 04R....
