Tamiya 201 XMW Kit

[Aussie Top Force]

Very nice completed car!

A lot can be said for a neat wiring job!. Makes the chassis look like a purposeful race machine! Do you cut and re-solder your servo wires?

Thanks...

Yes I do re-solder all of my servo leads

AVID Alloy RB6 top shaft AV1020-TOP-KYO ( needs to be modified 2,5mm on shaft side and 2mm gear side )

rear toe-in is 3.5 degrees?

[SiR_Dave]

Standard toe on the xmw is 3*

Sure?

Because normally the XA block is 3.5 degrees.

Yep... 100.2% positive
Measured it out on my set up station... 3.0* each side also the new XA block is very different than the normal XA block..

I'll post up a picture later for you

[xfactor]

Thats what I thought. The XA is 3.5 and the XB is 4.0........ mmmm.

Mine should be here in 5 days and counting..........

[SiR_Dave]

The current XB and XA blocks will not fit the XMW... also the XA block that comes with the XMW is .5mm shorter than the old XA block.. so it works out pretty much what I measured on my set up station..

This is a good read as well..

Thanks

37.5 Oil up front with a 1.6 piston Blue 4wd front spring, 1mm limiter.
32.5 Oil in the rear with a 1.7 piston Blue 2/4wd rear spring, 1mm limiter.

20mm front ride height
20mm rear ride height

Kit setting on the rear hub and shock tower
One shock hole in on the front tower from the kit setting and .5mm shim under the shock tower ball stud.

Gear diff with 2000w oil


This should be a pretty good starting point

Thanks SiR_Dave, your help is much appreciated.

What about the basic settings such as toe & camber?

Note i'm running a xm converted 201 rather than the xmw but I guess the 2 cars are similar enough that your setup will be a good starting point for the old car too?

I changed after this race the rear damper piston to 1.6 with 350 oil to reduce pack.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply, coincidentally I looked on Petit RC this morning just after my last post and printed your setup sheet out wondering to myself why I hadn't looked on there earlier.

Thanks for the update on the rear shock settings

[SiR_Dave]

Finally got the TRF201 Cut Gears back for testing

[SiR_Dave]

Scanned a copy of the new setting sheet... maybe Arn0 can get a editable PDF file done up for us soon... since I have sent it to him to work his magic on it

[SiR_Dave]

Arn0 Hooked it up
