[Upturning Mini's]

I haven't flipped my mini yet...but then again I've got the silver can in mine. Are you still using the friction shocks? If so try using the oil-filled ones, and get the stabilizer sets to limit suspension rolling. And try relocating your electronics to lower the Center of Gravity

[racing a tb02]

Raced it in the Tamiya TCS...it has gearing issues which makes it hard to race. I was racing the GT3 class and everyone was pulling from me on the straights, but then again I may have had a flat motor too. I had the lowest gearing possible which is 55/25. The gearing needs to be about 5.5:1 to be a contender. Unless, someone comes out with a motor mount to allow for more gearing options the TB02 will be seen more as a shelf-display then anything else.

When you build the diffs place a little thread lock on the end of the diff screw since they have a tendency to back out. Get anything "hardened/reinforced" if you are serious about racing it. I haven't broken anything reinforced yet!!

Here's my hopups...

TA04 Hard Suspension Arms

TA04 Hard Front Knuckles & Rear Uprights

TBEVO3 Suspension Blocks A/0 (x2), B/1.5 (Front), C/2 (Rear)

TB02 Motor Heatsink Mount - really helps reduce heat

TB02 Aluminum Steering - reduces slop and smooths steering

TBEVO3 Reinforced Diff Joints - much stronger then the kit plastic

TRF Matched Springs Yellow/Soft (Rear), Blue/Hard (Front)
