I think the yeah racing has 2 flanged bearings but could still be that size
-
Hi, do any of you know the size of the bearings in the yeah racing steering upgrade ? Thinking of getting it but the bearings pictured look metal shielded which is pretty pointless so before I pull the trigger I need to know I can get hold of rubber sealed equivalent . thanks in advance

better for me if I get chance not to freeze to death ! by the time my carer has marked the course i'm usually too cold to move the little that I can

Hi, it’s a plain m05 no droop screws, it’s just a fun runner so I’ll tinker with the shocks a little bit more, maybe have to increase the preload a bit
-
Standard servo saver, diff is well run in, this only started really when I raised it and softened the suspension. Might be weight as you say
-
standard kit 27t, 18t pinion, 7.2v NiMH. Diff is pretty full with AW grease so stiffer than standard , oil shocks and running med front and soft rear springs , rally tyres

Hi, I'm hoping someone can give me a clue because it's driving me nuts ! I recently got the F parts and and tall ball studs for my m05 to raise the ground clearance as I drive on the park paths. Yeah racing steering ,shimmed no play. If I drive slowly /mid the car drives straight but under full power it drifts right but if I now cut the power and let it free wheel it drifts left!! I've checked for most things i'm completely lost , any ideas ?

I'm kinda in shock at my result, thought I'd be much worse and lower. I've put 18t pinion in and using a NiMH again in my M's, really want a 16t in it give me more control I think. Congrats Tamiyastef

so finally for many reasons ,weather,new car,fixing cars etc I got a chance to enter and after practice and 2 runs my head was hurting lol still I'll have something to post at least !

hi Skom, hope you don't mind me posting a couple of pics, finished my very similar build today, still waiting for some stuff but it's usable now

gearbox maintenance if required is a rear strip down to the diff but pinion and spur easy to get to
-
hi, I have this problem of less than great tolerance , couldn't find a yeah racing one at the time , parts nice but bearings i replaced and a little loose causing play . What do you use to seat them ? Could I give blue liquid thread lock a try?

Plasma Edge II straight from box: Good or not?
nicksincrc replied to skom25's topic in General discussions
I don't buy for bling but some hop ups and I enjoy the process as much as the result. Where i can replace screw pins they go, I just hate them lol other things like motor mounts but most of my cars still run stock or near stock motors , bar the one mild brushless for off road run time . I have some spare shock shafts the correct size for the tt02b, wondering what hole piston would be appropriate for general running on/off road or should I just use the kit fixed ones ? -

it's a 17 i believe but I didn't know it was steel so I'll use it first -

was that the TT01 diff upgrade or the more expensive full metal gpm/df02? Don't fancy the expense of the latter for my usage -

Hi, hope you don't mind me asking a question or two ?I've decided to get the TT02Bas it's pretty much the only budget 4wd kit and I don't want to mess with the df03 ball diffs and lack of spares. I'm familiar with the chassis and it's shortfalls as my son had the road version. I'm happy to upgrade some parts as I enjoy it as a project. I would like to run my trackstar 13.5 3000kv in it from my DT02 which is a bit too lively now I use 2s lipo and 19t pinion so I can put the kit TT motor in that . This is not a powerful motor compared to some 13.5t's and lots run it in the TT02 with stock diffs on NiMH & lipo without issue so I'll see what happens first before upgrading the diffs . What I would like is some pinion size advice , I don't bash, I drive mixture of surfaces in the park, short grass ,dirt under the trees, loose tarmac etc. What pinion size will suite this best, I have a spare 24t but feel it may be too big, is a 20t more appropriate, any advice appreciated -
sorry guys not been the weather for me lately ,too cold and wet for me in my wheelchair . Hopefully better weather on the way

holmes hobby retro sport specifications
nicksincrc replied to nicksincrc's topic in All things electric...
thanks , I'm running a 20t pinion so not much wheelie , think it's 18/1 fdr. Don't want anything above 2600kv really like a sports tuned which off those figures would be the 17t which seems crazy . I'm assuming those figures are with the flux ring? -

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone knows the specifications of the HH retro sport 21t bushed. It's just for a comical hornet so I don't want anything stupid just looking for options with similar to tamiya sport tuned specs and can't find any for this motor cheers

managed to get out in the sun today , found it very tricky and not helped by my new 3d printed control sticks being too slippery , it's not great when you can't feel your hands and it's slipped off and you find out when it doesn't turn a lot of aborted runs but have a result for both m05&6 but honestly not great was great to be out in the sun and had a great time, and didn't hit anything after fixing the alpine paint work

you haven't seen me drive , I'm more sunday driver than boy racer! I take your point it's just the m05 doesn't get hot the same and both have alu motor plates
