TM2 Rear with Mini Pins v BRCA Box

[JezT]

The TM2 rear end in Standard set up with Mini Pins will not fit in the BRCA Box :cry:

Can anyone think of a solution as I can't see what can be narrowed

[Adam F]

Jez, can you fit narrow hex's?

Edit - Heard the 4wd front hex are narrower...?

[mattybucks]

I have some slim hexes if you want to give it a try.

Ross - I want to narrow it ...... not slow it down ;)

[Chalkie]

Not sure how much clearance we need to gain but i just measured my car back to back with kyosho and the kit wheels as 245mm kit and 243mm with kyosho wheels.

Its things like this that make me question the tm2 other cars go straight in its only team c cars that dont go in adding bits here taking stuff away there dont follow that part in the instructions
Although im sure its a good car and everything but seems its not finished paying over 200 for a car i would expect it to be finished i could understand on the x2c tc02c it is for sale for around 120 but not when team c are asking assoiated/ durango money

All the tm2s I've built were finished just fine, it would seem that the car is built to the maximum allowable dimensions including the wheels, but they didn't take into account the big overhang that mini pins have on the wheels, mini spikes and ballistics will go straight on with no size issue. Everyone that I know who has bought one is more than happy to tweak the odd thing if needed, because they know they're about to drive an awesome car.

Remind me what car won yesterday at Silverstone :D.

Your welcome to try my mini pins,there not on Kyosho Rims, there a spoke rims and not as off set as then"K" rims.

People are getting me wrong its a good car and concept however it seems the fit and finish are poor battery strap that shorts and a front end thats related to a rtr spur gears and all that ive never had a xray with finish issuse or a schumacher nor a mardave

[john333]

Didn't X-ray have to bring out a repair kit for the xb4 to stop it falling apart?

[Lee24h]

Only if it was built wrong in the first place

that front end is visually like an rb6 so how is it rtr?????, ive got a tc02c and so has my son and we have no issues at all with the front end. The TM2 is an awesome car to drive and as John has said we don't mind tweeking to get it to fit.Isnt that part of the challenge of doing this hobby??

[ben44]

For the front i've change one Ball bearing from 10X5X3 i've cutt the plastique and putt some shims and like that i haven't problem.

Oh really? How do you build a carbon fibre shock tower wrong??

I respect X-ray greatly for realising their kit had big issues and bringing out a free upgrade, but if it was just down to how people were building it they would have just put a new instruction manual out!

Not really John. Upgrade pack to address some customer concerns. I wouldn't get confused with that one. ;)
