TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted October 17, 2019 54 minutes ago, Honza said: Yes, TL01/M-03 upright will be significiantly wider, as they are designed to stick out of rims so small diameter rims can be used. Long span arms have pivot point inside of wheel. How wide is space for uprights in rear arms? If it's 12mm, TA04 uprights won't fit - they are ~16mm wide, if I remember correctly. Maybe TL01LA uprights might be right choice? They appear to have right shape and they also should have some toe-in Or, you can go by way of long CVDs - TRF415 and TB Evo5 with reversible arms used 48mm swing shafts, from what you've said, they should be perfect fit. Wheel axles can be used from TRF414. Good question on the width of them. I don't know without measuring. Interesting what they did with the extra bolt on part on the TA06 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted October 26, 2019 Nice parcel arrived with 2degree uprights and a very special limited edition clip from Svenb. Cheers mate. And a parcel from RC Echo which has plenty more 5mm alloy ball mounts and TA04 upper arm adjustable knuckles. This build may slow down even more now.... The Outer Worlds has been released on the Xbox lol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted October 26, 2019 Well... I got a spare 2 minutes. The rear uprights are 15mm wide. The rear arm is 12mm wide. Safe to say they don't fit. Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

svenb 3735 Posted October 26, 2019 Am I right in thinking that the TB01 long arm suspension set is the same as the TB evo? I should know this 🙄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted November 1, 2019 2.6mm. Who at Tamiya decided that dropping 0.4mm was a good idea?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted November 30, 2019 Managed to pick up some TL01LA front and rear uprights. They are on their way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted December 5, 2019 Well... time for an update. Not just yet 😉😉 Here is a sneaky preview picture. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwistedxSlayer 1290 Posted December 6, 2019 Right, on my iPad now, so a little easier to upload pictures. As per suggestion from @Honza I very luckily found some TL01LA hub carriers, front and rear, yesterday they arrived. So I made a start on the rear suspension and hopefully the 39mm cvds will fit which is the whole reason I’ve spent ages trying to find a solution that works. Rather than using the fixed upper link from the TL01 I’ve opted to use some from the TA04 upper arm set that are adjustable. I decided to to change the front upper extra braces from adjustable to less easily adjustable and used the adjustable threads on the steering linkages instead. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
