GoldTC

[rccartips1 18]

Hello, just sharing my prototype "TRF" for racing in the modified touring car class. I named it GoldTC. Low CG and blue bling

Homemade 7gram carbon shaft.

39mm ultra short nano shocks. Lightweight aluminum arms and symmetrical suspension design on each corner.

Active rear toe in and low cg roll bars.

Adjustable roll center and camber gain.

Handout tire from 2023 Tamiya Japan World Championships of my daughter who represented Asia in the GT class.

GoldTC - Touring Car, Traction Compound, Tire Cleaner

Cheers!

Hey my friend, didn´t know you are on TC, too.

Watched a lot of videos recently on your glorious TT01 conversion story. It´s just so incredibly well thought out and always backed with testing and rethinking of the solutions. As I know, you get rid of all that play: What´s your solution for the miserable bearing seats in the chassis, especially front propshaft, to stop the main shaft from tilting under braking etc.? Also your superglue method? With this high kV engines you are using, it´s probably adressed in your build.

All the best to Porsha and you, big fan forvever,

Matthias

P.S.: Don´t forget the M04.

Glad to see you on TC @rccartips1. Your channel is very inspiring to a lot of us. Looking forward to seeing how you guys do with this "TT-01"!

Hi Matthias long time not chatting with you. I try to make no play in bearing housings with superglue applied using cotton ear buds. Last July I raced my Tamiya M04 with a spool, it was fun, fast, but no match for M07s.

Thanks for the insight, will maybe give the carbon shaft a try on my TT01 (quite stock class racer). Found your tutorial in the videos really good regarding the bearing play and removal.

And spool in a RWD M-04? Holy moly! Probably I´m to anxious to drive an RWD M like that...

First race done. Qualified 2nd in a field of 31 cars. At least faster than all the Xray X4s
