what are the V2 differences?

[ben44]

If they putt just those option I've my TM2V2 Lol

[deano43]

The differences are new diff/rear wishbones/hangers/hubs/motor mount & centre mount with front top deck, basically a tm4 rear end with a tm2 front end with a shorter chassis so it would be more prudent to buy the kit as the chassis on a tm2 is £90 ish. its supposed to give more front end grip i think thats what i read anyway please see the link below

Quotes from TeamC forum:
- new design body and wing
- TM4 rear more easy to adjust toe in/out
- 10mm short chassis to fit ROAR spec
- front wheel 12mm, rear wheel 14mm hex
- carbon front and rear shock tower

"The new car feels more like a conventional mid-motor car, with still having the same or even more speed then the old car.

The car has also a lot more forward traction and on the same hand more steering response. Overall a good step forward and i can´wait to run on the EOS this coming weekend!” – Hupo Honigl

Kev lee @ insideline racing is taking pre orders for the first batches of tm2 v2 & tm4 now expecting the February/march will cost you £50 to reserve one though.

Probs to stop you buying a competitors wheels!!
Think I'd be looking to try and swap out the 14's for a set of 12mm hexes!!

[jimbobr5turbo]

Where has the 10mm wheelbase been removed from, front or rear?

[ben44]

The noze is the same, and slipper is the as the TM2. I've see some picture where the ESC have less place os i thinks is on the rear.

That's where there's some spare room, but would probably require a shorter centre drive shaft, so not a cheap mod. Certainly worth buying the v2 if you like the original

Maybe because the back end looks like it's taken right off the xray which has 14mm hexes.

[marcel]

?
No the back end is from the tm4 that has 14 mm hexes.

Making his race debut with his new ride, Hupo has declared himself very satisfied with the performances of the TM2 V2 having only tested for a couple days back home prior to coming to Berlin. The buggy he is using is pretty stock apart from the addition of some weight to the front end. Compared to the previous version, the V2 has more steering in the faster corners as well as more forward traction.

Shorter chassis = more forward traction..........can someone explain please, as I assumed longer wheelbase cars provide better forward traction!

A shorter chassis will have more weight transfer, the V2 also appears to have the electrics mounted nearer the rear axle.

All the rear is different no just the main chassi, so he can explain.

[vrooom]

Why V2 has gone for 14mm hex rear instead of 12mm ?

[brooksy]

So they can charge you £12 a 'PAIR' for wheels.
