Hop up reviews for the TA05

[minijosh]

Blue alloy motor mount from Tamiya.  Fits perfect in place of the non colored version. No real improvement because both are finned, just nice and blue.

Tamiya blue aramid belts. They look great in blue and are suppose to be stronger. They feel better than the stocks ones. I had to adjust both ball diff holders to different holes. In the instructions you match them up, if you put together a TA05 you know what I mean, but my holes are different and there's enough slack to make the belts bounce. No skipping under extreme braking.

Tamiya 53915 Lightweight Center Shaft. Haven't ran it yet but I installed it. You remove the original and you don't use e clips anymore so make sure your screws are tight. Saves weight, I guess.

I destroyed my stock ones on accident a few hours before I had to race. So I ordered from rcmart and picked up the 3 racing parts. Installed them with the titanium suspension arms from Tamiya. I really like the mounts because you remove the little circles that go to space out the arms from the mounts. I got 0 degree toe in so it keeps the stock set up. Looks great and will be a bit stronger than the plastic. It's written right on top of what degree they are and which one goes in front and back. A small carbon fiber part came with the bag. Not sure what it does but mine installed perfect without it.

I also got the 3 racing alloy hexs for the wheels. Nice and smooth was the install and wheels fit perfect. Since they are allan keyed down they will say on nice and tight even when the wheel falls off.

This is just my 2 cents of the hop ups so far. So far so good, I'll see how the car handles on Monday night.
