Ta01 Skyline Drive Shaft Dogbone Lengths

[nckmat]

Can anybody tell me what length the dog bones are on the Ta01 Skyline? I am trying to find two sets and the stores keep saying that they are the same as the TA04's, but they seem very short. I haven't started building yet, Xmas break project, so it is hard to tell what is going to work.

If anybody has pics of the suspension set up that would really help me too. I have one set of suspension arms but I am not sure if they are front or rear. Hard to tell from the manual.

Also, does anybody have some used hi-cap dampers they don't need, I want a set for my TF Evo until I can afford a new set?

The TA01 dogbones are 45mm long. I don't know how they compare with the TA04 bones as I don't have a TA04 chassis (but I will have one in two days time!).

You can see details and comparisons of the suspension of TA01/02 chassis here:

A very useful post that! But before you, like I did, assume that the TA02W is just a TA02 with wide rear wheels, assume again! For a kick off, it uses TA01 front hubs / bearings! Clear as mud.

Excellent, thanks for the info, i've got a few TA01/02 projects that this is going to make so much easier.

If you need used parts for your projects let me know... I have quite a few, see these threads (FRP chassis sets are sold/under option, shocks are sold, UJ's are sold).

I have parts not pictured too, ask away.

Hmmm... I need to get hold of a Taisan Porsche then, and fill in a few gaps!

Well my TA04 chassis arrived and it seems the TA04 dogbones are indeed 45mm long, and a direct fit for the TA01. The only difference is that the ball-ends are metal instead of plastic. I'll update my TA01/02 comparison soon.

Thanks for that, it helps a lot, I should be able to get TA04's fairly cheaply at my RC Hobbies which is near work, especially when compared to buy them on Ebay.

As per the etamiya.com website, http://www.etamiya.com/shop/product_info.p...roducts_id=3950, the same dogbones are used on a few other chassis'.
