I actually started out with that one until I switched to a JRxs3 so that I didn't have to worry about crystals. The RS300 receiver is large, I just got in a RS310 micro receiver so I can keep the same radio. I put the futaba in my sons car. It is a good receiver tho.

i run it in all of my cars, it fits perfectly into the frame at the back of the M-03

i raced the TA-05 tonight, and came 3rd in the final (against 4 other's)

I now have the TRF shocks on, and am running 300weight oil all-round, with the Tamiya blue springs on the front and yellow on the back. I am also running a RED sway bar on the rear, and nothing on the front.

With 26mm wide mini-pins, this is a good set-up for polished wood floor. (i am running a 19x1 motor)

Well done Luke, how did you come to that setup? I found an improvement when I changed from the 26mm minipins to the 21mm, not as smooth but faster time. Kieran.

i put the new shocks on, then i thought it would be better having them with soft oil, so they dig in easier.

i might get some of the narrower ones, but i have just bought a new set of the wide ones

Hey rcluke, did you ever get your overheating ESC fixed? If so how did you do it?

well, thats definately one way to do it. What kind of ESC did you get? I had the futaba mc230 but its only down to 20 turns. Was fine for me as we only race stock class. Nice small ESC, I now have the novak GTB since I'm running 13.5 brushless.

At tower the set goes for 259.99usd. I got mine a little cheaper. I got the GTB new on ebay for 80usd and purchased the motor from tower for 79.99-20 coupon. From what the guys that bought them pre-soldered told me the wires were too long and they had to cut and re-solder them anyway. Great set-up and even tho the 13.5 is supposed to be comparable to a stock brushed I don't think that is right. The 13.5 brushless is much faster in my ta05. The motor stays cooler and I can gear it down alot more.

nice

what gearing do you use?, 64dp?

I was going to go 64p but the lhs mainly carries 48p. I switched from Standard from Metric as they don't carry anything metric there. Just makes it easier to change gearing. To tell the truth I haven't had the car out since last summer so I can't remember what spur and pinion are in it. I know my final was about 5:1. Whenever I got lower than 6.5:1 with the brushed motor it would start to overheat. The 5:1 on the brushless barely gets warm.

17.5T Brushless = 27T Brushed

Brushed still is a little faster here.

17.5T Brushless = 27T Brushed

Brushed still is a little faster here.

From a practical standpoint I'd agree. But going just by kv rating and race rules/classes, 13.5 is still considered stock. 13.5 is rated at 3,000/volt. 7.2v*3000rpm=21,600. The CO27 pro motor I had was rated at 19,000rpm@5v. The Orion Core Stock I have is rated at 25k@7.2v. Watching the performance on the track the 13.5brushless seems to be much faster than just going by its kv rating. I haven't seen a 17.5 brushless so I can't compare that one but in the real world it may be closer to stock.

All rpms are unloaded.
