So for you guys running the TRF Special Dampers, how did you set them up? The instructions make no reference to the TA05 chassis in terms of which piston (2 or 3 hole) or shock oil to use. I'd like them to feel similar to the CVA dampers that come stock. Any ideas?

put the same hole piston as the CVA's on.

shock oil is all about what track you run on, for tarmac you want the oil pretty hard, for carpet, medium sorta weight, and for polished wood, soft oil

Hi, got a TA05 with a mamba max in it. Its sick, but I keep snapping my plastic diff cups in the rear. I even detuned my engine. Still snap them. I have a front one-way unit, but I dont want to lose reverse. Does tamiya or any other company make metal rear diff cups. Spent so long searching Im tired of it. Even my hobby shop cant help me. Takes too long to order from them. Thanks guys. Looking forward to being a member here.

i think it is just a metal one

as with most Tamiya precision parts, they are just made to a higher quality (with a tighter quality control tolerance) than the standard parts

The precision are not metal. They are made to higher tolerances plus have a ring that keeps the dog bone from falling out.

Thanks for your advice. I'll be running mostly on tarmac so I guess a hard oil is the way to go. My CVA's currently have single hole pistons in them and the TRF dampers only come with either two or three hole pistons. I'm using the yellow #400 oil so I guess I'll just use the two hole pistons and go up a bit in oil weight. Any suggestions for which weight of oil?

Well, another bad day of racing for the TA05. Most of it was my fault. I got the car to hookup this weekend so it handled awesome. But, I nicked a corner and broke the upper and lower king pins and damaged the front upright. I was able to get it hold together for a while longer(3rd qualifier and most of the main). I was late getting into the main(someone didn't turn in the transponder). So, in my rush I forgot one of the pins that hold the battery in. I think we can see where this is going. About 4 laps in (I was kicking butt too), the battery when flying out. I was really confused until I got the shell off and realized that I forgot the pin. Got the pin in so I could finish the heat, then a couple laps later the upright I damaged earlier fell off again and that was it. If I can keep from hitting the inside corners so hard I think I'll have the TA05 in contention. My per lap times are not much off from the others if I can finish a race. Not bad considering I'm running against all TC5's and xrays.
