Had my first race today , came 4th out of 10 on my first race even though my drive belt slid off the center pulley and was not turning. btw how do you fix that problem? on my TA-05 on the center pully there is the 2 cog things but nothing stopping them from sliding. mine just slide around sometimes. Also my ESC cable was rubbing against the rear tyres which resulted in the cord being cut clean through the middle, so that cut out my last 2 races.

firstly well done on the result

cable ties will sort out the problem with your ESC wires rubbing on the tyres like Luke said.
tighten your drive belts, basically you need to alter the settings by a notch or two, strip the diff covers and alterthe notch settings from the standard placement, the inner bearing is off set the notches move the bearing round to different positions altering the belt, either tightening as you need, or loosening. check your build manual for more details it will also show you what needs to be taken apart to do the job.

hope that makes sense, I know what i mean...

thought these pics may help....

wiring, heres how I have sorted my wiring out, note: I have wired my ESC directly to the motor, this is quite simple to do and not only eleviates excess wiring but cuts down on resistance.

next are two shots of the manual to show how to adjust your belts, ignore my writing on the diagram at the bottom, i wrote those for my own reference during the build.

I'm using.... 100W shock oil

and you say the TRF damper set is on rcmart? I can't find them

wow 100w shock oil on a touring car! Are you racing asphalt or carpet? Foam or rubber tires?

I'm running on asphalt with rubbers. (soon to be foams)

As for tyres,I would ask the guys at the track where you are going to race,what they run. The best first Hop Up would be a decent set of shocks,preferably a set of TRF shocks.
Don't get carried away with mods or you will end up with an 05 that looks like mine

for tires, you probably want to go with foams. they seem to offer the best grip. post #209 has some info on foam tires.

as for your first hop-ups, you might want to pick up a set of aramid belts. they are stronger and more durable than the stock belts. TRF shocks are great if you plan on racing. that should get you started.

I am still awaiting the arrival of my front shock tower,shocks and alloy turnbuckles,but,impatience got the better of me.
Made my car drivable,set up the speedy,placed a 7 cell pack in it and took it for a quick squirt up the street in front of my house.
Very impressive. I am only running about 10 degrees of timing on my Reedy 12 turn and the thing was just wheel spinning up the road.
I cannot wait to fit some decent shocks,set up the chassis and fit a body to it.
I will post some more pics when the other bits arrive and are fitted,

races start saturday.

I talked to some of the people at my local track and they have a TA05 series!

8 cars, 5 laps, 3 heats

I looked at the "roster" and it looks like i'll be going up against 4 standard TA05's, a TA05-R, and 2 TA05IFS's.

it's a stock series, 27 turns (13.5 brushless, which i'm afraid most of them are running)

it's gonna be one heck of a race.
