merlinh 1 Posted February 27, 2021 how much will they widen the front of a ta02 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
svenb 3778 Posted February 27, 2021 Approx 5mm per side. You'll need the longer 01 shafts and possibly longer tie rods too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rich_f 233 Posted February 27, 2021 You'll need different bearings and different king pins. You won't need longer shafts though. The 02 has the longer shafts already. 01 shafts are shorter, as are the bottom arms. The 02 with 01 uprights is the configuration for the ta02w Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes sorry - when you said he'd need longer shafts I assumed you meant drive shafts (dogbones) and not wheel axles, which I forgot to mention. The wheel axles for the ta01 front uprights are the same as the ta01/ta02 rears, hence the need to change the bearings. Kingpins are the gold-coloured ones for the ta01, m03 (early - they changed the design for the m variant), tl01 and many others probably. 53141 is the lightweight version. Not sure what the standard ones are but you may have some spare standard gold ones from another kit. If you don't feel like you want the hassle or expense of changing the uprights, bearings, kingpins and wheel axles, you could get 5mm extra width by using larger offset wheels, or even by using larger wheel hexes with a shallow wheel nut.

G-rem 5 Posted March 17, 2021 Hi there, I've also got a question related to TA01 Front Upright Knuckle Arms (JazRider, Yeah Racing, GPM) : I would like to know how tall they are, in order to evaluate if I can fit them in the original C-hubs of my Wild Dagger (WR-01) : I understood from the above discussion that I will need different bearings to accommodate the new steering uprights compared to the 1150 currently used in the genuine uprights from my WR-01, right ? Many thanks for your help, G-rem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking at pics of the WR-01 (which I'd never seen until just now) it looks like it uses TL-01 uprights, which use the same bearings and kingpins as the TA-01 uprights. So if you're buying TA-01 uprights to replace them, then no, you won't need new bearings. Whether the uprights themselves will fit or not, I can't help you there. (It's the TA-02 uprights that have the odd-sized bearings) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tizer 606 Posted March 18, 2021 Wild Dagger indeed uses TL01 uprights. The nice thing about that is that a LOT of Tamiya chassis share that part. Earlier Tamiya M03 and M04, FF02 and also all the WR02 versions. There's plenty of aluminium options available for any of those models. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G-rem 5 Posted March 18, 2021 Thanks both for your reply ! I was specifically looking at TA01 alu uprightS since the part where the steering rod needs to be fixed is quite angle inward compared to other options available. This being required to achieve what I am looking for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
