Rvl 2

You could add a shim on the shaft at the upright. I am using a 70mm shaft . I haven’t been using the 02b for 2 years , but raced it this weekend , but noticed that I had severely limited the down stroke. I don’t remember why…..but it was probably due to shaft coming off. In building it a few years back , I noticed that aftermarket diff cups were shorter than Tamiya ones. When I built it I wanted to get max stroke , but found that it ran better with min stroke. I was looking over 1st place winner’s machine and he was running with 1000 oil and soft springs and short stroke.

The cc01 wheels are +4 offset plus a 1mm spacer plus the 6mm hub , that is getting really wide on the front Thanks

Is the steering arm rubbing on the inside of the wheel ? My dt03 is and have been waiting over a month for narrower wheels

Green are softer than red , I think they are 1.90kg . Last year a few of us pulled out spring boxes and were comparing , even high end ones labeled as 2.4kg aren’t matching , even from the same company but different lines.

I used dt04 steering arm and c-hub on my dt03. The problem is need a 7.5mm + wheel hex with 4wd buggy wheels. The front tread is much wider than the rear. I ordered narrow front wheels but they haven’t arrived yet.

The gold are between red and yellow , offhand I remember them being slightly shorter than the touring set. But I think there were 2 touring sets , old and new and the new were shorter.

The whole front needs to be shimmed. But main point that I noticed are steering arm and C hub. Steering can move 2mm up and down . Wheel axle needs to be shimmed , I use the option part and shim with 3x0.2mm, 2 on the inside and 1 outside. Replacing u-shaft with separate shafts but I have not done yet.

I use a cutting mat , because I can do a quick setup or measure or compare turnbuckles. I use the pink sheet to prevent screws from rolling away and plastic lid for parts and a small cloth for disassembly. This is also my portable setup

Do you have a number for the Trf pistons? I ordered the BigBore by mistake

Thanks Escape and SlideWRX , it reminded me to order new inserts for my old Tsunoda. And I ordered the larger pliers too. One of our top drivers uses a wirecutter with the edges ground flat , but it ****htens me to use it on damper shafts

I used Tamiya Blue on my buggies last year. Why harder oil on the front? Is that to improve steering response? What rate springs are you using? My race season opens next week , but still snow. So probably begins next month.

Do you have any measurements on tread width front and rear and wheelbase? Last night finished putting on dt04 arms on my dt03. Pulled out my dt02 and reversed the front arms and then dug out some df03 arms , but I think the front is going to be too wide for racing.

The diff is out of stock and the next race is 4/20. I saw a link here to a dt02 build that used TopForce Evo pressure plates. Does anyone know what parts are needed to build a diff for dt04 from scratch. I have the TF Evo manual but not sure what to order. https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/53863/index.html
