BLee72 2 Posted May 19, 2017 I had started buying a bunch of aftermarket hop-up's to my TA-07 only to find out that they are not legal for TCS....duh. So looking at everything I had in spare parts and the other manufacturers hop-ups I decided to buy the rest of what I needed to build a whole new car from the ground up. I'm just going to post my progress and which parts I used for the build if anyone is interested. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLee72 2 Posted May 19, 2017 I'll be going mostly by the manual as my guide. The first hop-up that I couldn't use for TCS were the Techra suspension arm mounts (#112001263,#112001264,#126001269,#126001270). I'm mounting them to the TA07 Carbon Reinforced Lower Deck (#54745) These mounts are great... they have a very low roll center.... you don't have to buy a bunch of mounts for each setting...just use the inserts to change your toe setting. I used the equivalent of F for the outside rear and the split mounts set to B for the inside rear. The inserts are marked with dots ranging from 1 to 5. So to get F for the C/D/E/F/G mount you use the 4 dot insert with the dots orientation to the outside. If you flip the inserts the other way I guess you can achieve more settings. Also be aware the Techra hinge pins are slightly shorter than the Tamiya pins so I'm not sure if they are interchangeable. I used the TRF 418 carbon reinforced suspension arms (#54569) and 5mm hex head connector for stabilizer (#53906). Since I will also use the TRF Ball Nuts (#42231) for the dampers I install 10mm M3 set screw for the damper mount hole on the arms. I make sure to leave set screw length of 5mm sticking out of the arms. I also added some very nice titanium droop screws from AVID (AV1635). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathon Gillham 4595 Posted May 20, 2017 Sounds like an interesting build. This will be the first (only) onroad car I buy as it is quite different yo everything else around. I will be following with interest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
