53884 Option PT TA05 Carbon Battery Holder is thinner than the standard version, this allows me to drive the retainer posts further in and more securely when running my TrakPower 4900s.

Hoping to run it for the first time at Jarrow next week:woot:

One way
 

Car looks mega pal

Got one myslef very similar spec - i have a front one-way in it..have you?

Find it far better on the track i race (bury metro)...pulls through corners easier than without...

Very impressive Ferretti :thumbsup:

How easy was it to fit that brushless motor?

I've only just converted my Durga over to brushless and couldn't really fit my Tekin motor in it - it looked like it wasn't sitting flush due to hitting the part of the chassis at the back of the motor and was almost impossible to connect the sensor cable.

I ended up having to mill out part of the bottom of the chassis and decided to fit a new Novak Ballistic Brushless which has a smaller "endbell" section, and different sensor cable position.

my tekin redline goes straight in, you got to plug the sensor cable in first though.

Straight in, no issues:)

Hello,

I just bought the trf501x diff joint (51286) and the large ball diff plate (51287) both for the front and for the rear.

The base of the diff joints are keyed, but the diff plates are not keyed. How should i assemble the diffs? Should i glue the diff paltes to the diff joints as i did with the stock db01 diffs?

In touring cars both the diff joints and the diff plates are keyed, and no glue is needed.

Mattia.

I have not seen large diff plates? but anyway, no, these parts are not keyed and work via friction.

What Jimmy said :thumbsup:. Just place the plate onto the 501X diff joint and the metal-metal contact does the rest, no need for glue or anything. It is to be honest a much better design than the stock DB01 plastic thingy (which is really the only bit of nasty cheapskate engineering in the whole kit).

Whats the deal with Tamiya releasing an abundance of the DF03 RA kits? I mean are they really that good? It seems to me that the differences between the original DF03 and the rally ones are so slight, that it seems quite rediculous to be releasing these kits left and right. What exactly is the demand for this kit anyways? I am hopefully wishing that Tamiya will step up their game and come out with something that interests me. I know it sound's quite selfish but i'm only speaking the truth. LOL :D
