Quincy`s TA-03F PRO David Jun

[Quincy]

Last weekend we were off for some schoolyard racing. It was the first time for the TA-03F to hit the track and it performs "out of build" better than expected. Even though you can drive it like a FWD car and it has been eaten some tires, it was a lot of fun!

 

 

But unfortunately the front differential got loose. I used diff puty in he front gear case but it didn`t last long. Next time I will use silicon ear plugs to stiffen the diff. If this won`t be working i maybe change to ball differential in the front, or use a spool.

I also decided to change the dampers. Always have problems with the vintage dampers, as they trap air after a few runs. So I bought a Tamiya 42102 TRF Damper set and equipped it with red alloy caps, to make it better fit to the rest of the car.

 

 

 

We use the Ride Pre-Cut tires for our Racing Series as they proposing a good compromise between grip and durability. But the rims of the preglued wheel set don`t fit quite well to the Nissan Skyline Calsonic body, so I have changed to Tamiya 53471 5-Spoke wheels. The ride tires fits perfectly and it looks way better than before.

 

 

So I am prepared for the next race...

Looks really smart now. The r32 calsonic car is a real icon. What a colour!

What's the best place to get those Ride tires cheaply? I need a couple of sets. I like the way they look and drive.

Red dampers look great on the TA03!

Sorry to bring this up from the past, I just found your video on youtube. I noticed the cooling fan for the motor. How did you mount the cooling fan? I thought I caught a glimpse of a bracket mount inside the motor area?

Thanks, I have mounted one servo stand to the Front bumper. This hold the cooling Fan, which is really very effective!

Cool build. 

 

Why did you go with the gear diff versus the ball diffs?

I prefer the lower maintenance requirement. In addition, the gear diff can easily be converted to a spool.
