All the salient points have been covered really, but to precis: CVA can be made to work well with a few small upgrades. Any well known brand alloy damper is a decent upgrade Tamiya TRF are excellent, if pricey X-Rings or TRF O-rings are a must Build with a good shock slime. AE/VG/1up. Oh, and remove the blue anodising ;P

Quality of this should be good, Carisma make good parts and OEM for many of the bigger names, inc Losi.

2007 i think.

Fabulous build, love it

Grab some 1mm spacers and go for it. It will make a difference in areas like the ackerman angle for the steering, so by using these you're adding in extra tuning options!

Stunning Work!

About to start building my Astute 2022, any tips?
matisse replied to stockae92's topic in General discussions
literally a thread on all the mods for the TD chassis cars -
Rebound, is a good tuning tool for shocks, and it’s important to set/match both sides of a pair. Set the pair of pistons to the same length, body to eyelet, and then you can use a combination of spring cups to set various rebound rates by setting how far the piston is into the body when you build. I like more rebound on the front than the rear, allowed a little extra tuning for understeer iirc. Adam Drake’s video is very good on this subject This vid is the reason I ran the Aeration buggy shocks with bladders and foam inserts and the option for vented caps.

TD2 Astute 2022 - Because I have no Self-Control
matisse replied to ChrisRx718's topic in The Builds
The AGC-RZ low profile i fitted to my TD was great, little more costly than the etronix but higher specs and not as much wedge as a savox. Looking forward to the end result -
Looking forward to the end result of this.

Excellnt work! I’d looked at the TRF arms for mine too, but ultimately decided against.

Delightful. its a much better looking car with the TRF/DB01 front hubs isnt it? what arms did you use?
