[teamorsum96]

[Thomas P]

To much :D

[mr. ed]

Nice!

I once cut and shortend an academy STR-4 tourer into a mini buggy. I ran it with a mini-inferno body on top.
Which body are you going for?

[jayst]

thats very nice :thumbsup:

[Thomas P]

Geardiff and new MM

[mr. ed]

Moter Mount? You're using a 380 or 360 sized moter, isn't it?
So which moter mount is in the bag, and on the car?

[Thomas P]

Yea, a Novak Three-80 or a Castle CM26

it is the stock mount on the car, the other is almost the same, but with a better spur/pulley holder.

about lid, not sure yet.

[mr. ed]

I'm a little confused: I'm not very much at home in Tamiya.
(It is using Tamiya touring car parts for the transmission , right?)

So how do you fit the 360 sized moter on a 540 sized moter mount???

[Thomas P]

Ordered All Schumi parts,HPI and will get the Kyosho parts Monday i hope...if im lucky the belts will arrive mid this week, ordered some new bigger center pulleys to.

Have done som small mochup mount with the Xray M18T crank, lloks good..see wich one il use, i cross my fingers that the arms will fit in between the mounts..

[Thomas P]

Schumacher CAT SX arms fitted..Next, to get the HPI rear hub and Lazer front end..then it is measuring again,dremel,sanding the arms, to get the width good, next tricky par is to extend all CVDs...

[Rebelrc]

Looking ace Thomas ,as per normal!
I like the look of your two1/16ths:)

[Thomas P]

Thank you Rebel, do my best =)

Belt arrived today , Jiiiippie :D

Just compared the Stock Tamiya arm, with my cut Schumi...

http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o306/gabbax_74/94409346.jpg

No doubt, that il go for the Tamiya one, so much easier and less sandning,dremling

[Thomas P]

Would be awesome, i think it is to long, but that would be real cool :)

UPDATE

Ok, so there was no time today for any practice, so i took the chance to do some work on the Timing car :rawk:

And, i must say, i do believe more and more on this car, just waiting for the new front belt from Schumi UK

Using the Kyosho Lazer 4wd plastic inserts for the arm-axles reduced the sloppy a lot..

Got my lovely kids this week, so i have to see if i have any time for this...next is steering...il go for the TEK18X crank, perfect...with a custom "ackerman..

[Thomas P]

Milestone

Today i finished the Steering, the major part..that i thought it would be real hard...but with the Exotek TEK18X Steeringcrank i placed it right on the spot :drinks:

Will do some small adjustment, will make the "ackermanplate" (carbon now app 1.5) in 2 instead..

Next, is to get it rock solid, so i will do some strength from the bottom up to crank..

Hmm...maybe a lowbudget soda-bottle-lid :D for this one

[nitrokillah]

Thomas ; you never seize to amaze me ...
This is Absolutely amazing work ....


Can't wait to see the Video ...

So when is this TRF-TP Mini Conversion Going to Be Available ???
& How much is the CF parts , Belt & TP motor mount gonna Run us For ?

( I want one to )

Just one Q tho Wouldn't it have been easier to have used the Tam - Hubs & Steering blocks ???

[Thomas P]

Thank you for your kind words Nitro =)..

The plan was to testdrive this one this weekend, but other things passed my way :/..i hope upcoming week..

Ohh, Nitro, not sure about that mate, if the car works, then i will figure if i will sell it or no.. just the CF parts inc CAD and material was 173 dollars for me, probably cheaper when all CAD is done, have no idea yet :)

I have no idea, i will PM some Tamiya 511 guys here in Sweden, or if some other can tell me how Wide the rear hub and the front caster block is..maybe they fit :)

[Thomas P]

Soon....
