TA04 rebuilt

[yannick]

I've rebuilt the TA04 and added some hop-ups

hop-ups that are on the TA04 now are :

- carbon fibre upper deck

- carbon fibre shock towers

- alu motor heat sink

- ball bearings

- 0.4 module spur and pinion gear

- yellow stabilizers front and rear (new)

- Tamiya TRF dampers (new)

- lightweight carbon lower deck (new)

and I've added TA04 PRO reinforced slicks with rims.

here are some pics of the rebuild

Antiroll bars are a tuning tool, not a 'bling' option.

They are meant to do something; putting them both F&R just means your car could have less grip.

Or just like on real road cars the addition of front and rear anti roll bars can be used to get rid of both under and over steer. Making a neutral handling car that will slide not push or over steer.

I haven't tested it...I'll see how it drives []

Antiroll/antisway/stabilizer bars are just that, stabilizing parts.

They do not perform anything when the car go on a straight line, however, as 1 side of the suspension compresses, it'll help reduce roll/sway by transfering some of the spring rate on the inside to the outside. Hence roll is minimized.

Installing the same size bars front and rear will give the car a tendency to oversteer a bit. A rear stabilizer bar that's too thick will get the car cornering on 3 wheels, quite an experience for sharp turns (as my solo2 days would confess).

that's a pretty heatsink there, functional as well. Oh, does the medium narrows are actually worth it? And I think I just see something that will help me dial out the rear arm flex on the ff01.

thanks for the tips mate []

I think a heat sink is a must when you are planning to install a faster motor.
