-Original screw set need good tools

-popping ball cups not happened yet with my car.

-One way, up to personal preference

-Diff balls, carbide balls are more durable

-My spares: Wing, belt, pulley, front damper shaft

-big pulley conversion, not needed. But uses the same parts as my TRF 416 so i have to carry less spares

Screw set is soft as butter and everybody strips screws all the time but other screws are not neccasary? Maybe, if you like to use your dremel all the time?

popping ball cups is a big problem (see thread abouth this) but you don't need to chnge this?

A one way make the car feel like it should to and everybody runs them for this reason.

the diff balls from the kit are also junk (too soft), again that is why everybody who races change them.


The TRF is a very good car but in my opinion (and the rest of the Tamiya drivers) you need to change these things to make the car competitive.

You don't need spares? That is why everybody carries all their material wih them, just for fun?

You always need spares, front arms, belts, spurs, shock towers etc...
when you race even when you are the best driver in the world. Or maybe they take just a car and a battery with them if they go racing????
