My TB01 Shelf Queen

It's for the front only.... but fit on rear too, any issue on every day usage?

It's the same front and rear. Don't know about daily usage with it being sat on a shelf. Can't see why it would need to be alloy anyway. Plastic is fine imo.

I was confused by this too. It was @GooneyBirdwho figured it out. If you fit it on the rear it leaves very small gaps where dirt could enter the pinion/spur area. The standard plastic part is longer to block these gaps.

Lol. Well that's not a concern with running the carbon chassis 🤣😂🤣🤣😂

Can't see why it would need to be a separate part and not an one block design. :)

It's a shared gearbox off the TG10. Maybe that's why it's got a separate mount.

Kinda hard to justify when china ones are 1/10th the price really. But I know, you will know, that they are not genuine. How much that will bother you I don’t know but I know in some situations it can be bothersome!!

I know. For the shelf queen I'd like it to be genuine Tamiya. Purely because I've got all of the previous packaging in the original model box.

The servo will be mounted with one post in front of the servo mount, and one sat behind it.

Shame to cover it with a heat sink, I might take it back off for display purposes

Are you going with tamiya electrics through out? It'd look smart with a CPR 160 in it😉

It's got the motor as it was a spur of the moment bid on eBay. I may go for all Tamiya electrics in the end.

Any further developments with this lovely chassis mate? 

Apart from the electrics next step must be titanium screws 😉

They are Tamiya TG10 Alloy suspension arms. There is a front and rear set on eBay at the moment for £125.

 

I did end up buying a set of 53308 servo mounts from a guy off Facebook!

Would Tamiya 53571 dampers work with the TB01, or would you recommend aiming for the TA03 ones? As i found a set of 53571 for £45 at RCMart instead of £90 on a sale
