Problem with ta05 parts
I reciently order a bunch of hop-ups for my ta05, and ive got a few questions.
1. Also, my swaybar kit came with 2 paxckages, each has 3 differen thicknesses of bars. One package with long sway bars, and one with shorter sway bars, which are for the front, and which are for the rear?? And for drifting with ABS which thickness would you reccoemnd for front and rear??
2. The second is i need a diff bolt, and nut. Ive looked and i cant find them, i tried to have my LHS order them for me, and for some reason it didnt work out. Anyone know of any sites that sell the parts??

RE: Problem with ta05 parts
the diff bolt and nut are specialty items, I highly doubt that you'd find them at a hardware store, check tamiyausa.com for replacement parts. I think for sway bars the thinner bars are desired for the front... as for ABS thickness, I'm no drifter, but I think if you just get the thickness so that the ABS diameter is about the diameter of a standard tire you'll be fine.

RE: Problem with ta05 parts
well experiment around a little with the sway bars. Hard will have the least chassis roll, but your TC will also be heavily effected if one side lifts up, since the other side will do the same. Medium is in the middle, and soft has the most chassis roll and the least effect on either side of the chassis.

Probably a hard setting on the back so it slides out more easily..
Front, maybe a soft...
This is a setup for oversteering..
Play with it, if it is too much, then you can do other adjustment...
