Your dedication is admirable 😄 When i was running 54000 M Chassis dampers on my TT01E the Short Spring Set 2 54797 was really good. Not pretty colours, but very short.

@Pylon80 That. Looks. INCREDIBLE
-
According to the manual parts list on the Desert Gator (the only one i could find with stock cva mini front shocks) it uses 9805484 as the front spring. I suspect this is what you are after, or very close.

I don't think you have ever posted a more @Mad Ax suggestion than this 😉

@naturbo2000 That Avante Black looked amazing! That said, from my friends who have them, i under stand Avantes are quite hard to get working really well on the Astro. Hope you can get to another one. -
1/12 Scale M06 Build (Ivan Stewart Stadium Truck)

Sorry to miss you! I wasn't a huge fan of all the race heads either. -
Got a photo with an original! Lad at tamiya junkies has an original and is making an Ultra version using some of my bits. Track day and outdoor astro was great. Ran nice this morning, but definitely had a lot more ride height at the rear. Noticed this before, but today with grip and speed it felt a bit "tippy". Didn't actually flip though. Before i left i emptied a battery with Ultra Hornet with the rear shocks moved up a hole on the Top Force rear tower. Now when running it looks more even, but it was also really good to drive. Even jumped ok! Very good.

Thunders TD4 Mod Log - Possible Hotshot cage/body
ThunderDragonCy replied to ThunderDragonCy's topic in The Builds
Was thinking this might be going on sale after last months debacle. I realised today at the track that i hadn't put the steering mod back on, so i did that over lunch and chat with fellow toy car fans. And once i ran it, the handling and steering were lovely again. Although i did notice these have quite a lot of bump steer. Not sure how to solve it though. Swiped the front wheels off my Thundetmr Dragon for the cut stagger tyres. So, i think it stays, and I need to get back on my hotshot body design. -
Ran at the track. Was lovely conditions at the track, and the Hotshot 2 ran well. Was fun to drive, but did start to grip roll a bit. I turned the steering down a touch qnd it seemed to sort it. Was fun. Still not happy with offset shorty battery though. I think some cutting and drilling of the battery tabs on the tub is in order. Also couldn't resist a "spot the difference" shot with Mark's beautiful, fresh built ReRe Handsome pair, no?

Tamiya Junkies track day. Big turn out and great conditions for running outdoors. Was lovely to see @BuggyDadand @Mad Ax in real life too.

@wtcc5 The wheelbase was my concern, but according to m'learned colleague @Pylon80 above it can be adjusted down to 260. The width being 204 is also "non standard". I guess if i do get one it will just have to be a C11. Was the F103GT touring car sized? 257 WB / 190 wide? I know they are hard yo find too, but can you buold one from an F104 or something?
