Spares, total lack of info and so forth. Just hope there will be some more spares arriving before the MK GP.

I know I've only given it one run, but just ain't fussed about the car anymore. Yes it went well etc. We'll see what happens at MK.

RE the looks, the paint job has to be right. My colours have worked on lot of other shells, but this one mmm the jury is still out...

Maybe it's the whole RC overload thing

A few years back before there were decent online resources you'd be right about pretty much all cars - but saying there's a total lack of info when you're constantly reading a forum with absolutely TONS of info is a bit mad.



The re-release holiday buggy from Tamiya looks good, give that a try!

I appreciate the input from the forum and agree that there is unofficial information overload these days, but that's the nature of the internet...

I was just expecting a bit more technical tips direct from TD. I.e. lots of comments re how to build the diff etc. I've not had a prob with mine, but would have thought TD would have done a clear guide to put all the variations to bed?

Fingers crossed for TD with the winter season on then 2012

Yes the castor info and so forth was a good one

I dunno maybe if I'd got the car in spring it'd be a bit more yay about it. Pending winter blues?

Anyway no track time this weekend and decided to work instead overtime to pay pending £260 per tyre bill

£260/Tyre Bill

Should have checked with the manufacturer about running costs before you bought that!
Maybe a manufacturer tech tip may have helped?

Indeed should have bought German, better MPG more power

Crappy unpopular tyre size.. My old 225/40/18 Pilot Sport were far cheaper!

Anyway fingers crossed for a bumper TD delivery next week

Really hope gear diff lands soon

Mikey trust me I have tried the TLR 22 and DEX210 back to back and I find the DEX210 much easier to drive and better handling than the TLR 22 and that is straight out of the box without doing any tweaking. I have had no issues with the DEX210 so far and I have been quite brutal with it

Yeah I'm not knocking it's track performance..

TLR22 never interested me from day one.

Anyway catch up with you at MK - hopefully we'll have enough spares between us lol -

Yep. Found it. Thank you.

Now I've got an issue with the diff.

I recall i read somewhere that there is a difference in the inner and outer diameter of the two shims surrounding the thust. But for the life of me I cant remember whitch goes into the outdrive first...

Someone who can remember?

My issue was the circlip fell out but now I've got it all taken apart I'd like to get it in right.

The smaller of the two thrust washers should go against the screw.

Thanks.

A piece of advise...
Remember to insert the spring when assembling the diff. Not doing so will break the locknut when you tighten.

Now I had to improvise a new lock nut 8/

Have an issue.. Im running the RM4 configuration on the 210 & after a couple of practice & race decided to tear down the car. Did the norm, tore down & rebuild the diff. No Issues.

Thats until i came to the reassembling back the gearbox.
Spun the output shaft & it was ok. All went well till i tighten the 3 long screws on the motor plate. Then the output shaft cant/hard to turn. Put the motor plate on and found it wasnt really flat (Just a little tweak).

Could that be the reason?

You have overtightened the gearbox screws, back them off a bit & it will be fine
