Just a short questions off topic: as this will be my first brushless 2WD buggy i was wondering what turn it should be? I currently run a LRP Vector X12 7.5 turn motor in my DB01R and it feels pretty good on my hometrack. Should i go for the same on 2WD or do you normally go a little up or down in turn numbers? Sorry for being o.t. :)
|
In that case, go for a 8.5 in your TRF201.:)
|
Thanks for your advice, Fredrik. Is there a special reason for going up in turns? The gearing of the 2WD in general?
|
I generally go 6.5t in 4wd and 8.5t in 2wd. The 8.5 can still be a beast tho, even with an old Vector x11 the car will wheely off the line if the slipper's too tight
By the looks of the Hopup list I'll be getting the imperial bearing axles and the motor plate straight away, and probably all the DB01/501 parts that will fit, like shock bushings and Ti Shock shafts. Not sure about the black shocks either, I think I'll get some HL ones :) |
Thanks MRD, will surely buy the motor plate and imperial bearing axles straight away too.
|
Looks like front shock shafts may be different lengths by the new springs, unless they are just different rate to the 4wd!?
Putting together my order at the moment!!:thumbsup: |

I wouldnt get imperial bearing axles unless b4 front rims would fit, which I doubt. |

7.5 is still a tad too much motor in a 2wd. I know people who run a 5.5 in a 2wd and it's overkill. |

the axle set could be possibly cos imperial bearings are easier to purchase in the US for replacement. personally, tamiya should have went hex's on the fronts, like the rb5's and CR's, heaps better in my opinion. |

And B4 Front wheel bearings are......... yep 3/16” x 3/8” :) And as these axles are made to take B4 front wheel bearings Im pretty sure theyre gonna be the right width to take B4 front wheels. The reason they picked that method is probably because there are less parts involved and the hub can be alot smaller as it doesn't have to accomodate the bearings, and with the option axles all the people that are swapping from a B4 can use all their wheels and tyres without having to buy all new fronts. Its a very clever move by Tamiya :thumbsup:. |

None. Pretty easy assumption to make, if you ask me. |

On a happy note, the Tamiya 2wd in the hands of Lee Martin at the first BRCA nationals on the weekend, good stuff!! |

Clicky Not sure whether you'd class the 2009 Euros track as slow though. |
Don't forget 5300Mah 40C cells...
