Well youre not going to find hop-ups for it, simply because its a spec car.

You should be able to find replacement parts etiher at towerhobbies or directly from trinity.

Dont know about the spur gear, but any 48pitch pinion for a 1/8" shaft will work.


EDIT------
Well actually their are a few things you can change on it.

You can upgrade general parts like turnbuckles (EG to AE blue titanium's), screws (EG to AE blue aluminum's), ball cups (EG to RPM's), tires/wheels, etc. but the chassis its self is not made to be upgraded.

hey sl4ppinb4ss3r, i am a friend of pengs, and i have seen the car run. he had the stock spec motor in it, and it ran very nicely. it handled well, and had tons of power. it also was pretty fast with teh stock motor. hope that helps!

×SlappY×

thanks!, knowing that it went fast and had alot of power with a 23turn spec motor, i cant wait to see how it goes with my 19x2 [>:]

i have a t-spec and it isnt that great because its a spec car but yea 48p and 28t pinion gear. pro4 gears stock motor. when you get money buy a different car fast. it is very hard to find parts for

if you have cad and cnc machines, then just make some parts. i would suggest modifications to anything that rotates so as to drop the rotating mass

×SlappY×

well..cant you just re-gear it? bigger spur and smaller pinion, or the other way around? ( i know nothing about gearing so i mite sound stupid) also... whats the diff from a spec car and a car....car? im pretty sure parts from other cars can go on it no? like some tc3 stuff or AE stuff.. they have to be pretty similar?

Spec cars are meant for spec racing. Spec racing is a type of racing thats meant to limit the price of racing by using lower quality equipment (and therefore make it more affordable), and to make the races mostly based on driving skill/setup skill, rather than amount of cash in your wallet.

In spec racing everyone drives the exact same car (or at least one thats legal for street-spec), with the same motor, same battery pack, same tires, and maybe even the same style of body (not shure on that one). I think you can use any receiver/servo you want, but their are limits as to what ESC can be used. I beleive their are aslo regulations as to what connectors can/have to be used on the motor/battery pack.

Nope, the only interchangeable parts are general items like I mentioned before.

Their are no optional parts for spec cars as like I said, everyones car is supposed to be the same (thats the whole popint of spec racing).


Youc an read more about them on trinities website, they should have a manual thing on spec racing somwhere.

well i know peng wont be racing in a spec class, so sticking to the rules dont apply here. i thought i heard somethign about the pro 4 diffs fitting, and some tc3 stuff fitting also.

My Feedback: (1)

actually you are wrong because a couple guys at my track have pro4 diffs in there t-spec and it works alot better than teh stock gearing

×SlappY×

cool u got pics of your tspec? ill be getting mine in like 3 days, then i need to get my uncle to make me a cool body paint hehe. i want it to look BADDD and go fast!

losiracer753

My Feedback: (1)

it wont go very fast because its spec and if you cant find parts just buy a losi or a AE or HPI after you get the hang of driving.

×SlappY×

well.. cant i just put a better motor in it like you can to any other cars? im putin my 19x2 in it, it should be not bad..

From what Ive heard, the T-specs driveline cant handle the power of most non-spec motors.

×SlappY×

aww well it better! OR ELSE lol.

It might, dont know though.

You have to keep in mind that the T-spec was made to be drove as it comes.

i think that trinity had in mind for the t spec to be more than just a spec car. i think they wanted to make a spec car, that could be used out of spec. if you notice, the motor mount for the tc3 fits, the pro4 diffs fit...ect. i dont think that is just a cowicidence, i think trinity ment to do that.

×SlappY×

good news

×SlappY×

Well i found an article on the t-spec, and the reviewer says that the diff is quite good for the price paid.. your input?

[link=http://www.rccaraction.com/rc/articles/trinity_tspec.asp]Article Here[/link]

i read the review and i find it convincing enough to buy, as a 15 year old myself money is a problem. notice in the "Likes" part, it says "highly tunable" well its pretty self explanitory. i dont see how you cant hop it up... correct me if wrong..?[:@]

EDIT: i quote, "Although the T-Spec will run stick packs, the chassis has cutouts for side-by-side batteries. Hey, just because it’s a "spec" car doesn’t mean you can’t use it in other classes!"

more cells.....faster, but after all.. you did say "From what i heard" so it can all be rumours. I WANT MY T-SPEC !!!![&:][&:]

no you really dont i dont care what that artical said about the diffs i have to buy a xxx-s G p+us because i was going to run stock and i dont want to spend 80 dollars on a spec car. dont run any turn lower or higher than spec if i could i would show you what stock did to my diffs

×SlappY×

um ok.. well ever think about you having a defective model?

losiracer753

My Feedback: (1)

i dont think i have a defective model. i know however that a person at my track tried to put a 19t single in it and he had no more diffs left of the car. and you want to put a 19x2 in it your not going to have a spur gear. just save the agravation and buy a losi or HPI its a lot cheaper in the long run. trust me t-spec are not a good car i cant run stock with mine that is why i am getting a xxx-s g+. like i said before either you spend 80$ on pro4 diffs or you get a losi or a pro4.

×SlappY×

lol wel aight.... im still buying one.. its already orderd. ILL PROVE YOU WRONG! or.... if t-spec really does suck well illl have a broken car. llol
