BigSteve 149 Posted August 23, 2013 Looks a nice variation on the st blue. I've ordered a can of tamiya ps-35 which is supposed to be violet blue. I would also be interested in knowing what color this was. Steve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mtbkym01 4008 Posted August 25, 2013 What color is this. Is it a Tamiya PS color?Max Pretty sure that's PS16 Metallic Blue, used it a few times myself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kontemax 1725 Posted August 25, 2013 Backed with black I suppose? Max Pretty sure that's PS16 Metallic Blue, used it a few times myself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 4008 Posted August 25, 2013 took the brass spacers out of the front shock, to stop that 3-wheel lean. Hey Vigilante, did taking the spacers out make a big difference? I'm just about finished building mine, also without the front swat bar, but the rocking in the front will just drive me nuts I'm sure, I guess it achieves a large increase in front droop.

Vigilante 23 Posted August 26, 2013 Hey man. Taking the brass spacers out makes it much better. More droop but that's ok. I used just the 2 hole piston instead of the 4 hole and used 35 weight oil. Corners are much more comfortable. In saying that , my Fox runner still turns better than the new one, even with the old original swaybar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vigilante 23 Posted August 27, 2013 Thanks man - might look into getting some for the modern tyre sizes. Yeah Ive noticed how noisy this is compared to my Fox Runner - thats so silent with its 24tooth pinion and Thorp internals. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Craving4Tamiya 32 Posted September 22, 2013 Anyone using a pinion that's larger than the stock 15T? Need help with a part number as the manual does not say anything except "Ask your Tamiya Dealer for availability of 16T or 17T Pinion Gear". Tried a set of Tamiya #50354 16T 17T AV Pinion Gear Set but they're too small. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Klausen 1197 Posted September 25, 2013 What color did you use please? Max I used the box art PS-4. Btw drove this thing for the first time today, and I actually think it drives surprisingly well. I have only driven 4wd the whole summer, so it is really a pleasure to drive some 2wd again. Much more fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
