Advise Please on TRF201
 

Hi,

I'm changing from a AE B4.1FT to the TRF201 .

Whats if anything do I need to get or change to run the car !
I see a thread on the idler gear does this need replacing?

I'm running it on carpet indoors, so any help on setup/weights etc would be a great help!

Many thanks for help and advise

On mine i have the 0.5 rear hubs, rudebits under lipo weight and heavy under servo weight.
Only thing you will need to get you going reliably is the rw or upgraded tamiya idler gear.
I'll try and get my indoor setup on here soon

Griff55,

Many thanks for the post, I remeber the Griff name at Taplow, is this you ? if so this is where i'm going to race it so your help is much appreciated.

Thanks

ill be heading down to taplow in the next few weeks.... so i will arrange a set up for you all soon for indoor 201.

Yes mate, it was me! Little help off pidge and the car was pretty damn good:thumbsup:

Griff aka Waaaaagggggnnnneeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr:thumbsup:

cheers

prob another stupid question, but !

the front wheels on the standard TRF201 are using 1050 bearings, now the AE B4.1 i'm changing from uses the 3/16x3/8 bearings

in short what wheels/bearings/axle combo do you recomend as I see Tamiya do the "Tamiya (54220) TRF201 Front Axle for 3/16 x 3/8 inch" !

thanks for your help again
Dez

If you already got AE front wheels, buy the Tamiya Imperial axles and 4 imperial bearings, thats all you need.

I run the imperial axle as the b4 wheels are easier to get hold of in the uk.:thumbsup:

Many thanks for confirming this for me!
Next question is this part sold here in the UK !!
ie the axle

Cheers
