At that price I'm very tempted to get on but as I've got the mark one XM, I'm not sure I'd be able to get permission from the boss (wife). Would be intersting to compare the two as I've been pleased with the XM so far.

It took a while but I finally was able to find a full alloy top shaft that fits with a little bit of work It's 6grams lighter than the oem top shaft with the alloy gear and you don't have to worry about the o-ring or pin coming out anymore

Also was able to get a Schelle Nova Slipper (Same as AVID TRIAD ) to work as well and it fits under the OEM gear cover

Looking really good Dave, is the Schelle Nova Slipper that much better than the stock Tamiya assembly?
Any idea if the gear diff will fit in the original XM conversion gearbox?

The Schelle Nova slipper works great on my Centro C4.2 and I lived it better than the V2 slipper... plus it has a much better tuning window for slip and weighs a bit less to close to 1 gram over the standard v2 two pad slipper
Now as for the gear diff in the original XM.. the TA06( TRF201 ) gear diff is too wide and will not work.. but with a little bit of work you can get a Kyosho one to work

What alloy diff shaft did you use?
That slipper setup is that for a B44? Also, could you post ar pic once you done of the angle of the rear shocks once connected to the arms? I could never get the rear arms forward working on my XM due to the angle of the shocks. Also is there any idea on how many of these kits (and even the TRF503) that tamiya has made?

Now for the Kits on how many they have made.. I would have to take a guess... say 2000-3000 kits...

OK...
Here is a breakdown of the Gearbox with all of the lite weight parts installed.. MIP Puck system installed as well just by using MIP diff I was able to shed almost 20g!!!and about 8g per CVD as well.. Needless to say this gearbox's drive train is going to be very light

I'll have a list of parts up once I finish... for the gear box of all the items I used and which items need to be modified slightly

OK all finished building it... Pretty lite weight considering the XM conversion kit was a bit on the heavy side.. looks like Tamiya found a few ways to shed some weight...... well so did I as well

I've heard the B5 is pretty light too... maybe your Assomiya front end is lighter?
All kidding aside, have you weighed both cars without tires too? Tires can make a lot of difference, I recall a fellow club member weighed his Astro tires (Schumi Cut Stagger front w/o insert, Schumi MiniSpike 2 rear) at 180g, whereas his clay tires (ProLine 4-rib front, Proline Caliber rear) at 235g. And then you're not even taking into account the debry and sand that might accumulate in the inserts after some use. Oh, and before I forget... Neat build and electronics setup! |

Wow! May i ask who is this guy with that amazing paint skills? Are the special washers on the top of the damper mountings from Tamiya?
