TA05

Woot. I just got it and built it and I'm so happy.
First impressions were great. Easy to build and went together well. I replaced all of the screws with titaniums ones as I use to find that I rounded some of the normal screws. Why tamiya don't use allen key head puzzles me.
I ran the car out on the street with some old tyres and first thing you notice is how well it stayed planted to the ground. There is a fair bit of chassis flex and the shock towers flex lots too but it makes the cae so easy to drive. I rechecked the diffs too as they worn in a bit so needed to be re-tightened.
The steering rack is really nice with no slop.
The car out of the box seemed fast and with a few hop ups and clean bearings will be a fast car.
I've already listed some hop ups it needs. Trf dampers, c/f towers and universal joints will be on my wish list.
Will be driving it in anger soon and will write up more and update it when new bits arrive.
