Illogical 141 Posted January 24, 2017 Has anyone got any TA-03 spares or tuning hop-ups they would be happy to sell? Specifically I could use a spur gear and the battery stay - I only have a body pin to keep the batery in place for the moment What sort of power can these gearboxes handle? Can I fit a 5.5T brushless system or is that asking for trouble? Share this post Link to post
Mokei Kagaku 2706 Posted January 24, 2017 I have 11 new built TA03's for sale, 8 or 9 of them with most of the Tamiya hop-ups available for the TA03. I also have most parts loose. Drop me a PM if interested. Share this post Link to post

Can I fit a 5.5T brushless system or is that asking for trouble? Yours looks like a TA03 RS swb? Chassis and drivetrain (with full ballbearings) can survive pretty crazy power but you'll probably not be able to control it enough to enjoy it we've had 5.5 in an 03F (lwb) before. Sweetspot on TA03 is about midteens brushed say 15-17T. Brushless equivalent about a 10.5T is nice. Too much punch/torque makes the belt skip so a softer smoother style is better... in brushed world a triple or quad wind is nice, dial down the ESC punch. For battery clip... y'know those tips you chop off your bodyposts?? or the wooden chopsticks from your sushi lunch, chop off an inch of suitable girth & stuff into hole. Or I sometimes just gaffer' it in Share this post Link to post
