TRF201X Spares advice
 
Hi,
i'm the happy owner of a new TRF201x that i'm starting to build and that i'll use to race here in Italy, can someone give an advice on what spares are a "must have" to start racing the car?
Hope i don't have to buy another one to be safe.....? :D
Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Your Dyna Storm is crying! :D


Enjoy the new car, as you made it to the nationals with your DS/DL you are sure to do very well with the 201.:thumbsup:


Spur and idler gear seem to be the only thing iffy. Otherwise - just lots of tire options!

Replace the ball studs used on the uprights, caster blocks and steering arms. Use hard hex ones (#53969).
On caster blocks I use screw and ball nut, just like on the rear hubs.

Suspension arms, towers, uprights, caster blocks, extra screws, spacers etc are always good to have.

Yeah you are right :D, my DS/DL is near the retire even if i think i'll finish this year races with it and just build the TRF for the next season. :drool:

Thanks for the advice. :thumbsup:

Hi,
i'm near the end of my 201X build and i ask your expert adivice on what kind of shocks oil ratio (F&R) and springs is best to start with, considering that i only race on slippery low traction tracks (hard and dusty).
This just to have a good start point to work on from who already know and race the car.

On my dyna i've 50 back and 25-30 front oils, but it's a totally different car.... :blush:

Thanks in advance for any help.

I race on a very low traction track and have 25 front and 30 rear oil. As for the springs i have the Front damper Spring set and used the softest and the rear springs are kit ones. I found out that the 1 degree aluminium rear hubs together with the 3 degrees caster blocks gives loads more grip!
