hello,

i build my gear diff with the o-rings shown in the picture. works alright for me.

for building the shocks i tried the touring car o-rings (clear) on the bottom and left the original ones (blue) on top. works as well with a smooth shock movement.

i am using green slime from associated on both parts (shocks and gear diff) and for the gear diff i smear a bit black grease on the outdrives.

hope that helps.

I use those TRF O-rings too. I build my diff in June and race two days a week. There is zero weeping.
I opened the diff 2 weeks ago just to check and it was full of oil. just like I filled it.... except it was grey.
Also use them in the 503 and they work just as well without any extra shims/washers.
I don't use the green slime, I use TRF O-ring grease (blue slime :D), though I reckon the ae stuff would work as well.

I have received my TRF201 last week :woot:

And this monday i tried this car on astroturf at my RC Club in Paris.

THIS CAR IS AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING :woot: :woot: :wub :wub


I back later to give my Astro Dry and Astro Wet setups.

Wow looks good... that's the 1st one that I have seen with a Proline Bulldog:thumbsup:

It's a TRL22 Proline Bulldog, it's my old body shell of my >Zbus< . I wait another paint job on Proline Fantome, RB6 and Xgear Tamiya.

I have one, but they are white :cry:

Just a question.... What is the reference of diff ball outdrives ???

Impossible to find on another car kit....

wrong

1st meeting with my new XMW. Its a nice step up from the XR.
Only things i did at track was install "Blue" springs on the rear and play around with the slipper settings.
I going to try to go to either #3000 or #2000 oil in the diff and see what difference that makes on loose track.

I ve got a newly build not used ball diff from my XMW kit. Anyone intrested?
25€.

Guys, rod guides, i damaged one, ordered the stated 53979 guides as stated in the manual, and they are wrong, anybody know what are the correct seating guides for the big bores?
Could it be the 53574 TC guides as they seem to have the seating step?

Bests.....lee

51538 is the p/n for the big bore ones...
53979 are the narrow bore ones

Hello,

Cheers

Guys, does anybody have a good bonafide ball stud/cup option for this car. Getting back into it I'm a tad scruffy, and the std ball cups really pop off on sometimes the slightest knock, there all new too, can be a little frustrating, I've tried RPM cups on AE metric but they don't want to snap on, any ideas?

bests......lee

Kyosho ball cups are 4,8mm and fit great, very strong and good quality

Thanks buddy, ordered lol, as i said I'm a bit scruffy at the moment, but even the slightest knock i pop one off, frustrating, loving the car though, looks better than i drive it haha!

Yikes, the stock outdrives on this are so ropey, not very sturdy at all! Some mods are required hehe!

Anyone with a good carpet setup ?

XA toe in block
 

Did anyone try the TRF201 3 degrees Aluminum Suspension Mount instead of the XA mount?

Wouldn't it be close to touching the motor.
??:confused: since the XMW one is beveled??

Yes, i modified the suspension block to make it fit.
