RE: The Official Tamiya TA05 Thread
dont forget to centralise the steering servo before putting the servo arm in place and fitting the steering coupling, this is easy to do, just switch on the transmitter then the reciever with the steering servo connected and let it centralise, then finish the build as per the instructions and then do what bullet69 has suggested.

So would the mamba max 7700 be a good start.

RE: The Official Tamiya TA05 Thread
Just bought a TA05 IFS-R today. The manual seems to indicate that the Pinion Gear is available seperately? Is it true? The stock spur is 107T right? What's the current best Pinion/spur ratio for better aaceleration? I'm putting in 18T Team Orion motor, Futaba MC330CR ESC, Futaba R203HP digital servo and Futaba S9551 servo.
Thanks in advance for replies.

That would be a good start. But remember, just because you get a mamba ESC your not limited to Mamba motors. What type of speeds are you looking to hit?

Sorry. Are TA05 parts compatible with TA05 IFS-R models?

The 04 module or 64dp gearing is better than the standard tamiya gearing.
The surface you are racing on determines which gear ratio you need.
but remember, smaller pinion = more acceleration, larger pinion = more top end speed.
You will enjoy this chassis !!
any more questions, fee; free to ask.

RE: The Official Tamiya TA05 Thread
I went Taroda after work today. The guys there were pretty nice and spare parts quite comprehensive.
Anyone here has assembled his TA05 IFS-R? Wanted to assemble mine just now but after putting the motor mount to the chassis, the next step needs cement which I didn't buy. So I ended up doing the TRF damper shocks only. Sucks...
Somemore the 1st pg also indicates must cut 3 parts of the chassis to prevent the belt from hitting them. I don't have dremel. Can don't cut away?
Anyone can help?

why do you need cement for the build (you do realise that it is just super glue)

RE: The Official Tamiya TA05 Thread
My 2 problems. Basically is where exactly to cut and how much to cut. And also whether or not to apply the rubber cement to the Diff plate and diff joint or just sand paper as recommended in many forums.

RE: The Official Tamiya TA05 Thread
Odd that you need to cut to avoid belt rubbing. I haven't noticed any problems with mine and I didn't cut it. The diff doesn't appear to be the d-cut type thats on mine. Check your actual parts, see if the plate has a D or if its actually totally round. If its a D you won't need to glue. Seems odd that they would change something like that. Is it a one-way diff?

you can get loads of spare parts from www.rcmart.com (not UK based, it's in hong kong, but it is really cheap and reliable.
you can also get the hop-up parts from rcmart.com
I would get the Tamiya TRF shocks if I were you (or get the TA-05IFS R to start with, it has lots of hop-up parts already included.
I have the new Tamiya drive shafts on mine which are the metal ones, the Precision ones are also good.
good luck with it mate.

cheers rcluke
do you have to pay the custom and handling charge when you get parts from rcmart, if so roughly how much
where would you find this TA-05IFS R in UK
are you saying that the dogbone and cups are plastic in standard car, can you confirm it

i havent got a clue about finding one in the UK, you would be better off getting it from asia.
I can't tell you about the drive cups, because i don't have standard ones on mine, they were changed when i got it

Just bought a TA05 IFS-R today. The manual seems to indicate that the Pinion Gear is available seperately? Is it true? The stock spur is 107T right? What's the current best Pinion/spur ratio for better aaceleration? I'm putting in 18T Team Orion motor, Futaba MC330CR ESC, Futaba R203HP digital servo and Futaba S9551 servo.
Thanks in advance for replies.
