whos makes foam front bumperes for the tl-01 or where can i get from?
-
i have oils shocks on mine if u turn the shocks will it lower the car?
-
yeah but why you'd put top grade stuff on a bottom end chassis like the TL01 is beyond me. they are a good chassis, they have their place, but they will never be a GREAT chassis.
im not i was just making a comment
-
and ceramic is the best?

are the carbon prop and gear shafts really worth putting on?
-
ok thanks. i found some cheap teflon ones we;ll see how it goes.
-
Yes, I would recommend Doing all of them at once. Plus if you have had the car a while it is a god time to tear down the internals and clean them at the same time.
I never used the teflon, so I can't say yaya or nay but I would just stick with the metal ones.
You do not have to lube the metal ones, they come lubed from the factory.
same goes for teflon correct?

i have a ezrun BL setup on mine is a bit squirly i thought the rear toe in uprights would help?
also for dampers are they universal?
-
Should i change all 24 or just the wheel bearings? Also is it worth spending the extra money on teflon or just get regular metal ones?
Do i need to add lube when i install them?
-
The order I would do things are;
Bearings
Motor + heatsink + maybe a pinion depending on where you are running it
Tyres
Oil shocks
Ball diffs
Turnbuckles
Adjustable upper arms
Carbon prop
Carbon gear shafts
Don't bother with alloy suspension parts as it just means something else will break usually. For instance, if the wishbone doesn't break you may break the chassis which is far more hassle to replace. Lightweight chassis removes a few grammes but is weaker so not that great for bashing. At the end of the day though, you could spend £100+ on hop ups or simply use the money to buy a better car like a TB-02. I'm not saying don't hop up at all, just don't go mad.

so is it better to go with the LA or just rear toe in?

whats ww2?

Both parts are used for fine tuning the handling of touring cars, theywill make little difference to the handling of a WW2. The stabilisers
will mean it will have slightly less chance (but not much) of falling
over when cornering. The toe in uprights will mean the rear wheels will
effectively steer themselves as the WW2 pulls wheelies and the wheels
lean in as it goes up, then move out vertical again with toe in when it
comes down. This will make the direction it heads when wheelying
somewhat unpredictable.
Neither of them are recommended, the only decent hop up is oil shocks.
