How can I get that blue rear gearbox brace that you have on there?
If you message me I’ll send you over his details. Cheers

Fitted some new wheels and tyres on my Top Force today. First time I’ve bought the Schumacher pre-mounted wheels and tyres. I think the Schumacher rev lite front wheels should also fit the newer Tamiya TRF 4wd buggies?

Finished the TRF501x by fitting Tamiya alloy caster blocks & rear uprights. Also fitted street tyres to the TRF502x, and made some speed runs up and down the street - no off-road today.

I used telemetry with my Hitec Lynx Radio. I have a temp sensor on my motor, and my receiver has built in GPS which you can read from the transmitter.
The Lynx transmitter also lets you set an alarm on your transmitter if the temp or speed goes beyond a value you’ve set.

You’ll love it - they’re really excellent radios.
I normally use the Axion receivers as they’re tiny and have super quick 4ms response time, and a connection for a transponder.The Proton 4 receiver is really cool as well, it has a built in GPS unit which tells you the top speed of your car through telemetry on your transmitter. You can also run the power for the telemetry directly off your main battery up to 35v by connecting the Spc lead so that you don’t impact the voltage required for the receiver to run and risk a brown out. I ran it directly connected to 6s, and I had GPS and motor temp telemetry for my 1/8th scale.
They do a cheaper receiver the Proton 4e which gives you the same functions without the GPS as well-

The Lynx is an absolute bargain for the functionality and quality. The receivers are also massively cheaper than Sanwa etc. If it was good enough for Adam Drake to race with, then it’s good enough for 99.9% of the forum members!

I also have the current Hitec Lynx and totally recommend it. It’s an excellent radio and pretty different.

There’s a really nice carbon chassis you can buy for them as well😎

MIP diffs are meant to be a really good upgrade, but they’re expensive.

You need to move the rear shocks to a different mounting hole to reduce the droop of the arms, that fixes it.
The binding/bobbing is because you have too much droop setup. From memory you need to use the top row on the shock tower, I’ll take a picture tomorrow of my car with hicaps and post for you.

More Top Force updates today, have gone to a 10.5T motor from a 7.5T as it was a bit too fast for it. Running geared diffs now, however used the re-re kit diffs with the 7.5T a couple of years ago and it held up fine with some loctite on the splines.
Fitted some Tamiya Carbon Shock Tower spacers as more support for the towers and more Tamiya blue on the car. I also replaced the Yeah racing metal motor mount with a proper Tamiya version. This fits better as it’s angled to match the gear box casing. I just need the weather to dry up a bit to use it...
