TRF201: The rebuild begins.

[Jontea 334]

It's a Savox servo, 25t, the horn should be 15mm c-c, but also offset, the core one seems fine for now. Very kind of you, if it'll fit, I'll take you up on the offer.

Hi I looked - I have it. If it looks ok (the offset) I can post to you. Pm me your address I’ll just post it 2nd class

Actually I’m struggling to see from your pics of servo installed - is the offset a problem ie is the original one dead straight? It looks like you’ve put the ball stud facing back towards the car. Normally I would expect it to face forwards but I don’t know about trf specifically.

 

what I’m saying is my horn may not be suitable!

 

eg here is my b6.1 buggy so you can see what I mean

 

Final edit so yeah it faces back back in the trf. So it might work, so worth trying. Although I was expecting it to face forward I suppose there’s no reason it might not work. Here’s a pic for someone else on here

Yeah, TRF mounts with the ball facing the servo, opposite way to yours. Another of those Tamiya quirks. Guess they did it as there's not a lot of room between battery and servo, and servo and front bulkhead.

It'll be fine as it is, if I encounter problems down the line, I'll get Tony's Tamiya parts to special order the correct parts tree, but I can't see there being a problem with how I've got it now though.

Cheers again for the kind offer.

Anybody looking for a TRF 201 buggy, with quite a lot of spares?

TRF buggy and spares sold.

Time to hop up the Sand Viper. Anybody know where I can get hold of a Desert Gator body shell?
