  1. 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

    Your suspension is tweaked. This is very common. @Kowalski86 respectfully sir, there is no such thing as torque steer on an M-05 as everything is symmetrical in the drive train. The motor and gear train is mounted transversal and the drive shafts are equal length.

    So to combat tweak you will need to ensure that your down stops are symmetrical left vs. right AND that your spring preload is symmetrical as well. I have detailed this in my build thread:

    Hope this helps.

     

     

    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

    I'm thinking thaf it could be the servo saver, how do you have that and your servo setup?

    The car drifting right could be torque steer from how your diff is setup, just drive it a bit and it'll free itself up. If it still persists, it could be the toe adjustment.

    Off throttle, you car very likely drifts left due to the M05s imbalanced weight distribution left/right, where the left side weights more. Some weights can help balance that.

     

    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

    What motor are you running? And how is your diff setup? Sounds like you're experiencing torque steer.

    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


  5. 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 ?

    TT-02 is very easy to service, but what makes the DT-03 difficult?

    gearbox maintenance if required is a rear strip down to the diff but pinion and spur easy to get to

    The supplied adapter is a bit too long, but there are more compact ones available. These are the ones I use:

    I bought a set, also purely for the looks if I'm honest. I like them. 

     

    A slotted alloy motor mount like the Yeah Racing one contributes to cooling, robustness and gives more gearing options without causing any interference with the shell or other parts. The heatsink only helps with cooling and can get in the way. I'm sure you can guess which I went for... 😁

     

    Even the most basic ballraced alloy steering sets tend to be stronger and smoother than the stock plastic setup, low friction step screws or not. Just be prepared to swap out the supplied bearings and potentially use bearing seating compound if you go budget aftermarket.

    I use the GPM set in my TT-02B, which benefited from a bearing upgrade but didn't need any seating compound as the machining tolerances were good. 

    The Yeah Racing set that I use in my on-road TT-02 Type S is better still, with good machining tolerances and good quality bearings as standard.

    Both options were considerably more affordable than their Tamiya equivalents.

    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?


  8. 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 ?


  9. 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

  10. 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 :lol: a lot of aborted runs but have a result for both  m05&6 but honestly not great :wacko: was great to be out in the sun and had a great time, and didn't hit anything after fixing the alpine paint work

    The short, tight layouts typical of postal racing tracks are more demanding than most, as you are typically either hard on the throttle or hard on the brakes. This leads to higher motor temps than you might be used to on longer layouts or when out bashing when loads on the motor are less severe. 

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