RE: Tamiya F-150 Race Truck
You think people would buy the silver can?! I got a bunch of them lying around!!

But I do think the 19t is gonna be a real nice fit. I might just sell the Tamiya 540 Silver Can on ebay -- New in the bag. See if I can make a few bux to pay off my ridiculous ebay habit.

I do have a set of Mamba Max 7700kv coming in... (been on-order from Tower for almost 3 months!)
But I really doubt that it is going into the Egg...
I would also prefer sensored BL for the slower vehicle if I ever want to crawl a little bit..

That might be miss-listed though, as it says RS-540

That's possible.. if I want to make it into a dedicated crawler... but then, if I want to do a dedicated crawler, I should probably use the TLT as a base, instead of this one!

RE: Tamiya F-150 Race Truck
I would think the Novak would have pretty good top speed compared to a stock silver can. I guess we don't know until somebody gives it a shot and lets us know. I would hope that it would be faster, and have more torque.

I am pretty sure the Crawler specific system is gonna be very slow and has monster torque... with very good control...

Would have been interesting in the F-150... But somehow I think the 19t brushed motor is gonna be right around the same speed wise.

Tommorow is the scheduled delivery date according to UPS!
I took the opportunity to prep the Novak XRS speedcontrol I'll be using with a fresh Dean's ultraplug. That way I can use my better batteries.

Here is the rear Dog-bones going in... And the shock tower being mounted.
I had to do just a very slight bit of sanding to loosen up the A-arms... Other than that, the fit and finish has looked EXCELLENT. As Always, I'm impressed.

RE: Tamiya F-150 Race Truck
Yes, I was extremely surprised when I found that sticker on the box. Tower advertises the kit as including a 3speed manual speed control.
Really made the purchase all the more sound. 130 for the setup with the ESC and the S3004 Ballbearing servo!
As for bearings, I usually buy them off of ebay, but there are no kits posted for the TA-02/01 mix chassis (Which is really impressive in person).
Here are some more pics of the build.

RE: Tamiya F-150 Race Truck
Looks great... the problem w/ not building with bearings to begin with is that you will need to take it apart when you got the bearings.... [:@]
Can't wait to see it run!
I locked the rear diff on my T-Egg tonight...
