Hi there, how is everyone.. I have literally just joined in the last few days and to introduce myself I have been building and driving various Rc cars for a long time.


I have had various Tamiya mini coopers, Tamiya ford cosworths, a volvo and a vauxhal vectra, with a range of 4x4 chassis, front wheel drive and rear wheel drive set ups..


My lastest project I have been working on is a Tamita Ta06 Pro Chassic. I have been modifying this and working on it for over a year and a half now and its starting to look realy great.


I have a blue R32 vw Golf shell on it
I have the front and rear blue alloy bulk heads and rear chassis stiffener
A locked diff
Blue alloy steering assembly
Carbon fibre reinforced chassis parts
A fusion Exceed Sport 13.5 turn brushless sensored motor and ESC
A Overlander 4250 lipo battery pack
A front one way alloy centre pully
Blue alloy TRF shocks
Blue alloy servo holder
Blue alloy brake discs and shoes
Blue alloy invisable shell supports but soon changing to black alloy
The outter front pully is changed to an alloy one
Blue alloy wheel lock nuts
A Carbon fibre quick release batter holder
A blue alloy servo saver horn
TA06 stabilizer set
Blue alloy damper spacers
The front pully holder is changed to a blue alloy one.
A fast steering servo with metal internal cogs
Hard radial slick drifting tyres
And tempted to get A GV model lipo saver cut off switch connected between the receiver and battery


And on their way are a nice set of proper alloy wheels in gun mental grey


Thats about all...


My first question to start off is.... is it possible to get the equivalent of this:... for the rear?

and is it worth while getting a one way pully for the rear like this....considering I already have a one way on the front?

Thank you
That first link has been removed, but the second, no, that wouldn't be a good idea. One-ways remove brake and reverse from that set of wheels. If you already have a front one way, a second one will remove all brakes. The entire idea of the "hand brake" effect with a one-way is gone.

Also, though a front center one-way pulley works O.K., a front one-way diff works better, because all the center pulley one-way does, is make a standard diff work in only one direction. and the diff still has "diff action," meaning only one front wheel is driving at any time. A front one-way drives BOTH front wheels independently, which is much more efficient and for drift, control is much improved.

The TA06 would also benefit from a good carbon chassis conversion kit. The Exotek or RSector conversions are good. I have an RSector conversion on my TA06, and it is stiff, and very well made, all for $80 US! A couple of pics, below....
